Bavarian

Just found out the commentary can be activated by clicking on teh icon bottom right - Swedish, Polish, or Engliash. It is there.

without commentary this is indeed a bit of a let down and rather boring to watch.

yes, there seems to be no commentary

and live now on DISCOVERY+

Are there any online streams of the Ostrow v Landshut match ?

Sixteen year old Mario Häusl, who is half German and half a Seychelles-Islander, has been signed by Landshut last week and makes his Polish League debut today.

Last test for the Poles before the World Cup

We don't have a Ladies Championship here in Germany, but we do have a number of girls racing in the 500cc speedway division. And two or three of them are really fast. Next Saturday two of them, Hannah Grunwald and Paddy Erhart, ride in the German Under-21 championship final, and I would not be surprised to see one or both finish among the front runners. Hannah even features on the advertising poster for this meeting (see below).

Interesting topic this. Could it be that "Dirt Track" was more of a general term, and "Speedway" was introduced as a more specific term for the short distance racing on the smaller tracks? A new name, to differenciate the new sport from what the Americans had long known back then and what they still know today as Dirt Track or Flat Track racing? I wonder if the term "Speedway" was chosen to give the teams' league racing it a catchy name, when that got going in 1929. Initially there had been an "English Dirt Track League", but not for long under this name. The term "Speedway"-League was probably more appealing, sounding more modern and exciting. It will have been regarded as more appropriate a term for this new team sport. A concisely desiganted name, just like other sports such as "Cricket" or "Rugby" had. On the continent, where league racing was never established in the pre-war years, the sport remained to be known as "Dirt Track". Here the term "Speedway" didn't catch on until well after the war.

Oh, great, that it is on Supersport, which happens to be a South African TV broadcaster

No problem mate. Last year was a fiasco as well, they had tennis before the speedway and missed most of the heats. Eurosport is useless. I'd rather watch it on Discovery+

Interesting. If so, nobody has made it public that it will be live on EUROSPORT1, which is a free channel here in Germany. We here in Germany were told that the live SGP coverage will be on DISCOVERY+ only.

Is it? I'm surprised and I did not know that.

yes

Nonsense! GKM is very good at home, and with Tarasenko they have become even better. Lublin isn't the force they were last year, even with Zmarzik now leading them.

clear case of first bend bunching - it should all four back

Against the boys Celina finished second in the German Under 21 championship last year, so You are most probably right

Yes, and we even do have a few more, who are not that far behind Celina. Best of the up-and-coming German speedway ladies after Celina is Hannah Grunwald, and another who is going quite good on a 500cc bike is our Nepalese-born Patricia Erhart. There's about half a dozen of them girls in German speedway racing now, plus several more in the youth competitions.

Thats the new disc jockey, an english lad, who was hired for the entire SGP season, who plays this stuff. I don't like it either.

Having such a massive crowd for what was arguably one of the least attractive league fixtures for Wroclaw this season, says it all.

Dilger must be doubtful. He had an op recently and will hardly be able to ride.

I don't think that Doug Davies is still alive. As far as I recall it, he died in the early 2000s.

Yes there was a gap for Lindgren to go through, and Lampart closed it too late and caused the crash. Bad decision by the ref. This was Lampart's fault.
