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?

Well what a joke of a fixture. And TBH a joke of a team the Stars have been all season. Musielak barely missed a Sheffield fixture for a few seasons, yet his attitude since the move has been shocking. Kvech was a shot in the arm, but he seems to have given up caring. I was going to attend the original staging and add Saddlebow Rd to my tracks visited list. I can't tomorrow but I definitely wouldn't have bothered anyway.

It was such as awful performance from Belle Vue that I turned it off after watching the first 5 heats.

Brummies are planning to run in 2025 apparently... and retain 4 of the current team! If Lindgren commits for a full season I'd be surprised if he didn't have other offers. Brennan maybe back on the Aces radar. Lampart & Flint?

Just park on Kirkmanshulme Lane, never had a problem finding a space. R/R for Woffinden?

If you are coming from the M6, park on the tire merchants on the left after Alexandra Stadium. There is a McDonald's opposite.

Janowski looked good at Lublin last night. Woffinden has been dire in Poland all year. Does missing the aggregate bonus & Grudziadz winning mean Leszno are relegated?

Won't bother watching any more of that. Wet conditions means absolutely no racing in first 5 heats. Gate & follow the leader. Several riders appear unhappy with the conditions.

Wroclaw were disappointing in Gorzow.

Great performance from Lambert & what an Ekstraliga debut from Rowe. Wiktor Lampart injured or dropped? Fricke was very harsh on Sayfutdinov.

You really shouldn't bother replying to anything that poster posts! Just ignore him and life on this forum becomes far more sensible.

I did see Belle Vue win at EoESg in July 2021 but it's been three years, 10+ meetings at 4 different tracks. All the Brummies riders were riding what turned out to be the slowest line in the first few heats. It was as if the track was prepared completely the opposite to how they expected it to be.

I had a reasonable view of the first bend on the temporary stand at the end of the start/finish straight. I didn't think there was any contact from Lindgren, unlike the first time, but there certainly wasn't much room for Kurtz and as the shale had been thoroughly drenched I couldn't see how he had a chance of staying up.

Like last week I thought the Brummies reserves should have outscored their Aces counterparts enough to win the meeting for the home team. Pawlicki got going by the end but isn't looking anything like the class rider he is in Poland... although he did have a poor weekend for FZG & at Bydgoszcz. Thought the track was over watered at the start but no complaints it was absolutely scorching at the start of the meeting, that was why Kurtz had two spills in heat 1. Gates 2 & 3 were an obvious advantage. Look at Blodorn's score, he was untouchable off the middle gates but absolutely nowhere when off the outside gates. Except for Lidsey somehow managing to go from 1st to last on the first lap of heat 7, I can't remember any over taking.

A few notes as I go to bed ... It was good to see the Aces win away for the first time since 2005. I don't think I have seen them win away more recently but I could have in 2021. I did see Bewley & Kurtz win the pairs at Beaumont Park last year but that doesn't count. It was also nice to go to a Speedway meeting & being able to get there in less than 30 minutes and home in 15 minutes. Finally.. Brummies lost the meeting in heats 1 & 2.. when they were 2-10 down and rode like they had never seen the track before. Was it that different last week?
