Monmore can produce some great racing, but it needs to be prepared right & have riders that are not intimidated by it. There is sadly a lack of such riders in the UK league.

The only thing unexpected & disappointing about the meeting (on TV) was the emergence of a Monmore blue groove and a lack of water on the track. If there is a hosepipe ban in the West Midlands, I wasn't aware of it. The racing was OK, fairly entertaining Monmore affair, Tigers locking up trying not to drift wide. The lack of water made the outside run futile after a bit, to Batchelors benefit but not Ellis. Considering I don't think I have visited two more diametrically opposed race tracks in the UK I thought Tigers scored more points than they would. The only two teams I can see possibly getting a losing bonus points at Monmore are Aces & if the Panthers are able to collectively roll back the years. Don't know, not sure I've seen a current "Ace" at Monmore. The Worralls certainly know it well enough and I'd hope Bewley/Wright would be able adapt better to it then most Aussies. Kurtz I can imagine hating Monmore, Hope no serious injuries from tonight's accidents.

Unlike Premier Sports we have Free Sports as part of the package, I'll check schedule for next week. But I'd watched everything except the last few heats of Gorzow match via stream/YouTube.

Grudziadz need to win else they could be cast adrift. Other than Torun's visit (match day 11) I can't see any chance of them getting another league point. Torun have 20 point aggregate advantage also. Found a YouTube of heat 15, Zmarzlik certainly didn't fall, but he did muck up the exit of turn two on lap 1. Another mistake on the final bend could have cost him second think he might have passed Doyle on the run into the line.

Huckenbeck £80 less. Dudek £80 more. Milik £80 less.

This SportweFacty translation can't surely be correct? Can it?

You mean that noise that accompanies every replay? It's been the same for 4 years!

After that ride from Karczmarz doubt Birkemose will be seen again tonight. Leszno look in the mood for an upset.

FZG are putting all their Eggs in heat 14 basket, to get the meeting won but barring a disaster from Predpelski & J Holder in 15 aggregate bonus is Torun's.

Heat win (or 3-3) in 14 & Torun get the aggregate bonus, job done.

Zagar isnt as bad as Kasprzak. He won a heat earlier. If Torun want the aggregate bonus. I think Lambert is going to need to be busy in the last few heats.

Great heat 9 for Torun, looked critical to the result. Przedpełski took Fricke wide allowed Lambert to cut back, Lambert then rounded Zagar. Don't think Fricke did Zagar any favours.

Miedzinski took one for the team heat 3, big shove on Dudek allowed Holder to pull clear. Dudek looks well down on power in heat 6. Better in heat 8.

FZG v Torun

Protasiewicz is finished? Lewandowski never looked in control entering turn 2, heat 2. Zupinski made it too easy for Ragus, rookie error, but at least he made it around the first corner at third attemp.

???

Important meeting at bottom today IMO. Aggregate point for Torun and I think bottom two are nailed on as FZG & Grudziadz. Torun need Chris Holder to start scoring,been poor the last few weeks. Can't see Leszno winning at Gorzow, 3 points for home team surely should see Gorzow go level with Wroclaw. Leszno look in a scrap with Lublin & Czestochowa for the remaining two playoff spots.

First time he's had a poor meeting that I've managed to watch so far.

Entertaining meeting from Czestchowa Friday evening. Laguta & Kubera poor for visitors, Lindgren looking a little more like the rider who finished last years GP series with bronze & Woryna improved for hosts.

I assume this refers to heat 6?

Well Bewley (maybe, think Lambert will get nod along with Woffinden). Riss will probably represent Germany. Can't see any other SoN riders in British League at moment.

I think R&R is asking which U21 rider at your local track (Belle Vue) is Rowe uncompetitive compared to?

Now Kubera is too.old, the Poles don't have an outstanding obvious candidate at U21. Miskowiak would be my pick, but they'll likely go with Lampart - he hasn't developed as well as most thought he would. The obvious Dane - Birkemose is struggling in Ekstraliga. Hellstrom-Bangs is the best Swede? Chugonov & Lindsey also now too old.

Kasprzak dreadful allowing Janowski free reign down the inside exiting turn 2 in heat 8, then hindered Bjerre for 3 laps.
