Najjer

He rode in a Pairs match on Sunday and didn’t get on much better there either. He’s also had a match at Bydgoszcz but both Bydgoszcz and Rzeszow are somewhat polar opposites to Mommore Green so don’t think they would have had much bearing. No reason to be alarmed just yet. Wolves are the type of team who will do well at home and get battered away against most sides. Kings Lynn’s real test comes around their own track, as Wolves is abit of an obscure one.

Correct

Not wrong at all - Hence why I said one of the reasons, so he can pick and choose meetings.

I managed to get Kasprzak under 5 at 9/5 Also on Masters over Klindt and Iversen under 8 in the PC meeting

It’s not fair but it’s the luck of the draw when you have an injured rider. This then encourages the team to go and sign a replacement or stick with R/R until the injured rider is back - but doesn’t include borrowing riders from other teams and keeps some form of team identity. The guest system has been a joke for a long time. I remember back in 2008 when Simon Walker was injured for my team (Somerset) who was on a 6.50 average after it being inflated due to a large home average. People were disappointed when he came back from injury after we had Craig Watson and other riders well above his ability guesting in place of him. Should never of been allowed really.

The sad thing is, it’s probably one of the reasons he doesn’t ride for anybody else. He can just pick and choose his matches on a nice suitable average to guest for just about anybody in the league - showing what a farce the system is.

Start at 7:15 with the practice and then first race scheduled for 7:30 - that’s that issue solved.

Well that’s short sighted - as by that own admission it’ll work in their favour when they visit an away track.

Ridiculous. Opening meeting of the season and already being covered by guests. Everybody should be forced to use R/R for missing riders unless there is more than one rider missing. Guests are one of the biggest banes of British Speedway.

It’s not a great look is it? KK’s and Klindt’s look fantastic but the rest not so much…

All too often in British Speedway, you hear reports of tracks not being up to scratch at the beginning of a meeting and riders unhappy with conditions - whether this be poor prep, weather conditions or any other factors. I notice from today’s match at Redcar, riders were given a chance to spend 1 minute out of track according to speedway updates. Before the start of every league match in Poland, every team can nominate 2 riders to go out on track to check out track conditions etc. Why are we not doing this over here? This can help to eliminate a whole host of potential issues on the horizon (like Peterborough the last week with heat 1 and riders not being happy with the exit to turn 2) and give riders a chance to get on track before heat 1. This adds abit of a tactical element too - do you send out your experienced guys to pass on knowledge or send out a junior to get some much needed track time before their first ride? There is no shame in following in the Poles footsteps if it helps to solve problems and benefits the beginning of meetings. How often do we see matches where the first 4 heats are follow the leader around the inside until the track starts to bed in and dirt moves wider? This one seems abit of a non brainer to me and can only be a good thing.

Didn’t Kasprzak get a testimonial a few years back?

What’s the odds on Pedersen doing the same?

Belle Vue -8 Doyle -1 over Pedersen Bewley -1 over Musielak

Perfect - should give him good form when they decide to get rid of super heats in the event of a draw and flip a coin instead.

Not quite sure you can say he beat Zmarzlik in a run off - they flipped a coin to decide 2nd/3rd after tying on points

I hope you don’t play the lottery. Bellego is at no.2 and Howarth at no.4

I’m really looking forward to seeing how this team gets on. Bet365 have them favourites to come bottom but I can’t see it. A few question marks over how good KK will be and whether Klindt can continue his UK form on but I think there is huge potential with this side.

It doesn’t matter what position you ride at, you have a ride off each starting position anyway. The only difference is between home and away, which order you get the inside and outside.

Good news out of Poland today is that Emil Sayfutdinov has passed his Polish License exam, so is all cleared to return to action now.

I think you are spot on. I expect him to do really well in the Premiership too. ———— As some others have said now, Rew rides for Gdansk in Poland in 2023. They will ride on Saturdays and Sundays mostly I believe.

With his commitments in Poland, he’s bound to miss a large handful of matches over here.

Are you seriously moaning about 45 seconds being wasted?

Guessing you haven’t watched him in Poland over the last few years then?

This is bang on. Someone made reference to a visa taking 8 weeks - I don’t think the visa process only just began yesterday somehow
