I'm the same as you Alan regarding re the commentators in that I'm not too bothered, as long as I can see the racing I'm happy. Artem very impressive tonight, very quick in beating his brother there. Can't wait to see the Russians take on Holder, Ward & the Poles at Czestochowa in the World Cup - got a feeling that is gonna be really special, weather permitting of course. Too many out n out racers on show for it to be anything else.

I've just swapped on to your stream, working fine. The one I was using was ok but had no commentary whatsoever, just bike & crowd noise only - there's people on here would love that option on Sky/Eurosport i bet!!

Greg Hancock on Twitter after today:: Greg Hancock‏@GregHancock45 Ok, I haven't been taken out of a heat in a lot of years! Can't even remember the last time! Broke that record today. I'll fix it 4 Next Sun Brilliant effort by ZG to get a draw with effectively a 3 man team - Hampel in particular impressive. Join you all tomorrow. :- )

R&R would be quids in on his form this season. I'm hoping he & Chris Holder's forgotten to tell Matt Ford about him! I'm sure the young man would find Manchester far more preferable (in my dreams!). ;-)

I predict Piotr Pawlicki will be out on his spare bike in his next ride. ;-) Thought his bike was gonna catch light properly before that fireman turned up! Another great day for Przedpelski at Torun - a poor day for Hancock I believe though, removed from one of his programmed races? Totally agree, find myself feeling a bit sorry for him. He could do with getting his form back before the World Cup as Sweden will need him with all their injuries at the moment.

I wondered about the track - it looked like Jablonski & Zgardzinski were struggling to turn their bikes in early races.

Must admit I quite like the white ZG race suits - though I also thought the green Czestochowa suits looked smart too. Don't think I've helped you much there Alan! Not sure Jonas Davidsson will be getting a rider replacement ride - he really struggles in ExtraLiga whenever I watch him. Large & noisy following from the Green Mountains - should make for a lively atmosphere there!

Excellent race heat 9 between two rising stars. Really impressed overall by Jepsen Jensen, best performance I've watched from him. Iversen has to start firing soon or Gorzow are doomed in this match.

Legowik has no luck, out of the race 2 years running! :-) Oh no, KKS will be unbearable after heat 3! Great race though.

Ward was fantastic tonight - and less than 20 points off the top 8 now. If he stays fit I'd back him to qualify for next year's series as of right. Zagar & Holder entertaining & quick too. Solid result for Woffy, keeps him in touch with Emil. So now a break for the World Cup, wouldn't mind a ticket for the round at Czestochowa, should be amazing!!

Got to love Eurosport voiceover boy - now doing hopeless gate pick predictions & explaining track conditions have changed after the track's been "wetted." On serious note, sad to hear Lindgren's broken his arm & broken shoulder/ribs for AJ - get well soon fellas!!

I'm sorry to hear that Montie. Particularly loved watching Joe in the early 90's at Belle Vue & later on at Bradford - leg back, real stylist. Absolute respect for the guy, hope he stays around the sport, as the likes of Craig Cook & Richie Worrall would surely benefit from the input/experience of a guy like him i.e seen it/done it/got tshirt. Would have loved to have seen the mid 1990's Joe fly round the current Scunny track!

How did Screeny perform tonight - presuming his last visit to Scunny?

My Copenhagen picks: Nicki Pedersen 10 Chris Holder 10 Greg Hancock 9 Tai Woffinden 9 Thanks.

Must admit I hadn't heard much about Vaclav Milik, according to Wiki he's just 20 years old. Beat the likes of Andersen & Zagar tonight, I'm guessing he'll be on the radar of one or two British clubs after tonight, if he wasn't already. Look forward to seeing how he gets on at Poole.

9+2 from 6 rides

Pulled up in heat 15, he looked in a lot of discomfort prior to the race - although he'd also been out in heats 13 & 14 too. Three heats back to back was asking a lot with the injury.

Racing today in Wroclaw, then tomorrow at Wolves - then rest the injury til Copenhagen. He just confirmed it in interview on Polish tv.

Very strange start to this match! Glad the Wroclaw juniors are ok, if a bit battered & bruised. Pawlicki jnr looks in real pain too, fit enough to cruise round with Musielak for a 5-0.

That looked a shocking crash in heat 2, hope both Wroclaw reserves are ok.

That guy running across the track during heat 1 could've got badly hurt - mid race, not a good idea!! What was he doing, rescuing a steel shoe??

Excellent heat 13 with Iversen getting through eventually, though Jablonski has done a great job today for his team.

He continues to be impressive - & with Ward due back soon the Torun fans must be pretty excited about the rest of the season, even if they lose at Rzeszow today.

I like it, she does seem a bit scripted on TV. Though I saw her at Belle Vue once, chatting with some fans & she seemed really friendly & relaxed. Hampel is in fantastic form today, good job really as Pepe & Jonsson not at their best. Are the commentators still unhappy with the track/racing??

Haha is the rather cute interviewer Anita not "ooomphy" enough for you lol?? I don't know what she's saying but her interviews seem to flow smoothly, unlike one or two of Charlie's on Sky. Looks a long long way back for Gorzow now, they really need their tactical subs to work.
