Appreciate the responses all. Should be a fun weekend in Pardubice with the Golden Helmet too

I said there's a good chance not they already have...

Looks like there is a good chance that Ļebedevs (SEC) Kubera, Lambert, bewley & Holder may have already qualified for next year. Who would come in?

Spot on. The PZM will never put them forward.

We'll see hey. I'm not overly enthused about what lies ahead but we shall see hey. Hopefully its a good series.

A change of riders is good if its the correct riders..

Sadly this is what we have now. When Discovery came in and spent all that money I assumed they really had mega plans and they were going to take the series all over the world, well it turns out all they want is content. It is cheaper for them to buy the series and put it on their platforms then buy the viewing rights to other sports. So getting riders from as many countries if far more important to them then having the best riders. Sad, but that's what we have going forwards. Unless viewing figures both on tv/stream and at the gate go down enough. Discovery are brilliant at presenting and with the social media stuff. And they are all very nice people. However literally none of them have any Speedway background, they are all new to it. So what they think is important and what the fans want will be very different. I guess they want to grow it and have their own ideas. Perhaps they are right. I just think this a disastrously weak field and BZ will keep winning till he gets bored.

Pretty much spot on. Desperately disappointed with this.

Pretty crap isnt it

Lol couldn't disagree more. Its not just the track that's the advantage, its everything behind the scenes too. "The lack of track variety in 2021 arguably cost Zmarzlik the title" is an absolute belter. I'm going to say no more because if you believe that then there is no point in debating any further.

1) The advantages being he has 3 home rounds every year & his Two main rivals, 1 being the guy that beat him to a world title, were taken out the series. 2) How can you possibly tell Laguta has regressed, he isn't in the series. World Championships and league racing 2 very different animals. I will repeat BZ is brilliant, but how can having the 2 riders that finished 1 place either side of him taken out the series not help him?!!

Exactly. Plethora of other sports but cant ride in the SGP. All they are doing is robbing the public. They could also ride under a Polish license but the PZM will refuse this. Again, total BS.

Lol thats is your opinion no more. The last time they were in it one of them beat him.

In Holder's defense, he blew his best engine 1 race after clinching the title then broke his shoulder, hip and heel when sitting 3rd or 4th in the standings halfway through the following series. So little harsh on him...

Well when his main 2 rivals in the competition have been removed it certainly helps He's brilliant. But the fact of the matter is he also has a lot of advantages on his side too.
