Yep it'll be interesting to see what the fall out from the Polish promoters will be re this meeting ....

Jesus, the price he pays for being a top speedway racer in Poland eh!

But how much sway do the FIM have in the staging and restaging of the SWC, isn't it like asking what control the ACU have in the staging/timing of BSPA meetings?

Of course they are more important than BSI, they provide a living for all Polish riders and many others besides! BSI are incomers, they'll have to work around the leagues Of course, it would lower the crowd if it clashed!

Postponing the league matches then wow!

Can't be tomorrow cos of the Polish league matches! Unless it's held in the morning or something?

Richardson was put in as a Joker in place of Lewis, obviously Rob thought it was the best race for Lee to be able to score the 6 points and as far as his last race goes, for all I or you know he may have asked not to be included in that crucial race, for sure his head was down ............ Fair enough re the regulations.

Just what I was gonna say, it's LYON!!!

I've seen Lee perform fantastically in the WTC in Poland before and yes agreed he was great tonight Let's hope he has all his ills behind him now and can look forward for the rest of his career ....

You can probably blame the GPs for the lack of test matches, when are the top riders EVER available? Also the BSPA have to be sure of attracting a good crowd cos no doubt the top boys come at a cost. I'd absolutely adore watching a test match at Lynn again, and I'm pretty sure every Lynn fan out there would lap it up

As Bagpuss has posted, Rob was going by the OFFICIAL PROGRAMME not the spreadsheet that Stekkers was using, he admitted that perhaps he should have realised that the gate position was wrong, I would doubt he'll ever go by an official BSI programme again anyways! Well embarrasing for the promoters! For all those brits who are posting negative thoughts on here, it's the negativity of us brits and not believing in our rider's ability that brings us down, it's about time we all started being positive and perhaps it will help the cause. Our riders need all the help, guidance, opportunities and support they can get .................. let's go for it!!!! If we don't, nobody else will for christ's sake!

Patience people, you will know soon enough ...............

Certainly the promoters wouldn't have thought about it but yes, agreed, the riders and team managers should have.

What do Poles pay for their league meetings then £2? £3?

I thought he just lacked speed on the night, he can mix it ok.

Obviously Jim hasn't got a chip on his shoulder like you Snyper, involved in the pits last night.

I would hope that they are asking themselves searching questions all the time re being a speedway rider but like all young people they do need advice and guidance, if they are now receiving that from the TeamGB set up then wonderful, that's how it should be? From short convos I have had with Rob I think he has thought about all this anyways Do they need to be involved in more hard fought international meetings or are league meetings enough if they are putting everything into practice?

It's ok our younguns getting experience in the WTC but it doesn't really amount to much on the world stage, a possible 3 meetings I mean, so let's hope the long term plans involve some test matches on the big tracks in GB? Would the public support them though, would SKY be interested in televising them, could they be fitted in?

£5, £12 they had to pay £30 last night (on the night) to sit down!! £20 for standing and it was difficult to get a good vantage point!

It's the drink that makes them "loosen up" innit?

It did cross my mind that the Polish fans might not be able to contain themselves and mob Tomasz so his was a tactical exclusion ............. could be totally wrong though! How we need our british boys to be riding a track like Peterborough very very regularly. The Poles and Aussies are brought up on tracks similar to it, how can we compete with that? Nevertheless our "boys" flew the flag with pride and gave it everything, well pleased with their efforts and I wish them all the best in Leszno!

Yeah have noticed that too, only luck that has stopped him highsiding himself many a time in the GPs!

Please stage it at Lynn

OMG that must of hurt, why the hell did Sajfutinov turn in so hard he had loads of track ............. I'm beginning to wonder about some of the decisions that boy makes, he needs to take a look at his riding and give more respect to his fellow riders!! He sure is carving out a reputation for himself ...... perhaps that's the plan eh!!

No not new kids on the block BUT they have years of experience and knowledge to gain ahead of them! Riders always say just being in the pits with the best riders help them especially if they are determined to get to the top.
