The conditions for Leicester v Ipswich are a far cry from those in Lublin tonight. Enjoying this more already. Lambert is on fire. Someone suggested Przedpełski needed to score 6. It'd be a miracle if he did. I assume Lampart is injured? Heiselberg is out of his depth, was Rowe unavailable. He'd be better.

Orlean sponsorship is recent. Lublin have been able to attract riders above the level they operate at for the last 5-6 years.

Great race heat 7, not sure Lindgren will be keen to follow Kubera's pointed instructions again.

Must be. It's not exactly a track you'd think riders relish riding. It's also probably the smallest stadium in the Ekstaliga so I can't imagine the atmosphere is on a par with some of the others.

Utterly futile until the final averages & team building limit are known. I guess almost everyone will be fitting Janowski into their team considering his low average! If I were Lemon I'd not be retaining Lidsey at the Belle Vue, he doesn't offer much away from home. Would try to get Brennan back. Is Milik on 4.11 for team building?

Woffinden to Falubaz Zielona Góra in 2025 I've seen somewhere.

Whenever the meetings occur, Aces won't take enough of a lead to Owlerton to progress!

Shame the weather affected track conditions. Shame the referees decisions influenced the outcome. Couple of very questionable calls. Both which went against Witches. But let's be honest Leicester are going to give the Tigers of Owlerton more of a contest in the final than 5 Witches & 2 guests.

It wasn't a great spectacle but was kept interesting by the score. Leicester should progress to the final but can't be that lackluster at Owlerton in the final.

Can't find a working stream for Gorzow. Glad Torun have a lead, don't think it'll be enough but ... second leg should be a good watch for aggregate. Interesting team riding from Lambert & Sayfutdinov in heat 15. And to think some fool on here was tipping Torun for relegation.

Just watching Torun v Lublin - who is Hiesleberg? What happened to Rowe? Lampart injured?

Result of this was never in doubt unless Ipswich made a significant signing to replace Doyle. Add Sayfutdinov injury to that, forget it as a contest. Booking Lidsey as guest @#1? His scores away from NSS are generally lackluster. Hopefully Lindgren is booked for the playoff, guest wise for the Witches? Janowski too?

Woffinden out for the rest of the season.

Are Sayfutdinov or Woffinden likely to ride again this Ekstraliga season?

Seems so, Torun finished higher in the league and they're in the semi according to https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/

81-81 so what us it down to league position?

Advantage Grudziądz

According to https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/

I assume the team which loses by the least of the three losing QF's is the fourth team in the SF's? What chance that being Torun now?

Only seen action from Grudziadz first four heats & Wroclaw are cruising, home team not at the races.

Grudziadz is far from my favourite Polish track, the only one I'd rank lower is Gdansk. Think they're showing all three matches ion the same broadcast! https://vk.com/video-53550004_456241948

The only Ekstraliga QF with the result in any doubt is Grudziadz v Wroclaw, after the away wins last week. Which is a shame.

Ben Cook certainly improved at Saddlebow Rd over night.

Lindgren cements his Witches guest bookings for the playoffs.

I watched this today... Odd meeting. Why when Bewley or King gated did the disappear into the distance riding wide yet if they didn't gate did they pootle around the kutb miles behind?
