I don't know what in your opinion is "Polish speedway" because SGP is certainly not.

According to report published on sports.pl Polish fans, will probably have a big headache because of the unusual big number of the television coverage of their favourite sport. There is a new player on the broadcasting market, TV Eleven, who already have rights to broadcast English Premiership League. Soon there will come an announcement of purchasing rights to broadcast Polish Nice Speedway League, (second tier) and test matches of Poland's National Team. Eleven's offensive on the market is the effect of withdrawal from speedway of Polish National TVP. This is benefiting Polsat TV and Eleven TV. Currently all indication are that Eleven will be covering matches of Nice Polish Speedway League on Saturdays and Polsat SportTV on Sundays. This is no end to that, as there are unconfirmed reports saying that Eleven TV bosses are negotiating rights acquisition to show the individual Junior World Championships. All in all Polish fans this coming season will have an extremely wide choice of television broadcasts. Compared with previous seasons only coverage of the Swedish league matches will be missed. Over the last three years these matches were shown by Eurosport, but due to poor viewership station did not extend the contract. The Eurosport will still be covering Speedway Best Pairs Cup and European Championships. For now, NC+ TV is the number one station in speedway coverage in Poland. Thanks to them Polish fans ( and quite a few on this forum) enjoy watching matches in the PGE EkstraLiga, plus all the rounds of Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Team Cup.

According to sportowefakty.pl Poland vs Rest of the World test match will be screened by the Polish nationwide TV channel Polsat Sport, and transmission is scheduled to start at 14:45 hours local time (13:45 pm British time). - This is very good news for the fans who will not be able to visit Zielona Gora venue on Sunday April 2nd Poland Piotr Protasiewicz - captain Patryk Dudek Grzegorz Zengota Bartosz Zmarzlik Krzysztof Kasprzak Piotr Pawlicki Rest of the World Nicki Pedersen Grigorij Laguta Niels Kristian Iversen Jason Doyle Andrey Karpov Fredrik Lindgren

For the third year in a row PGE Warsaw's Stadion Narodowy will be hosting the best speedway riders in the world. The FIM Speedway Grand Prix round will take place on May 13th, 2017 and may go down in history as the last one in Warsaw. Next year ends the three-year contract for staging the event at PGE Warsaw's National Stadium, and according to przegladsportowy.pl the compromise on a new contract, is far away. Concerns are being raised primarily to the contract cost, as well as its length. The BSI for another contract wants from the PZM much more than before, and the Poles do not want to hear about it. The British based BSI offered a five-year contract, which is not acceptable to Poles. They want to sign a contract for the next three years, with an option to extend it by a year in order to organize the World Team Cup. So far, the BSI for the round in Warsaw has been getting from the organizers less than for the rounds in Gorzow and Torun. - We have already started talks on the GP continuation rounds in Warsaw. A lot in this case will depend on fans and their interest in the event. The situation must be resolved in the first half of next year - said Andrzej Witkowski, president of PZM at a press conference. Within hours from this announcemnet the fans managed to buy more than two thousand tickets.

That is exactly what's all about. Polish bosses want their riders when they are needed, for example for re-scheduled matches because the original were were cancelled due to rsin, etc.

copied and translated from sportowefakty.pl Quite often, you had been asked about riding again in the British League. Finally, we heard that you will not be riding there in 2017 season. The priority for me are leagues in Poland and Sweden. At this moment the British League is not. I suspect that many fans would like me to be there and it is very flatering. I did spend a few seasons there. There was a great atmosphere, both in the team and in the stands. However, at the moment, from a sporting point of view, I do not need to ride in the UK . I'd rather have a little more free time, which I can spend on training or with my family. Before the 2014 season you resigned from the Grand Prix. In our previous discussions it was highlighted, that you will not return until you miss this cycle. How do you feel about it now? - Yes, it is true, that I long for it again. Few people know that this season I was to ride in qualifying rounds for this cycle. Unfortunatelly an earlier injury, thwarted my plans. So I have to count on the organizers favours whilst distributing wild cards or start in the qualifying rounds next year. Contractual matters have been taken care of, so now is the time to rest. What plans do you have in front of you? I have just arrived at St. Petersburg with my family and I intend to rest. It looks as though I won’t get much rest because I have a lot of things to do in Russia. Soon I'm going to begin preparations for the next season. We'll see what happens next, but generally I don’t intend to rest in the tropics .I want to spend more time in Russia.

Where is she ? Do you mean the one waving the flag ?
