Any idea where I can get updates on Zielona Gora match? Bet365 had the market as a close call at 5/6 ZG and 10/11 C with the draw a quite staggering 22/1 which is surely a mistake. Had a wee wager on the draw as teams look evenly matched.

 

Cheers

Stevie

 

9-9 after 3 heats...found it!

Zielona won 46-44. Cz-wa were leading by 6 pts at some point but screwed the thing losing three heats 1:5 and one 2:4 in a row.

[Hazzman]

Nice to see Bridger got his first win in Poland (and scoring more points than Richardson in the process)

Doug, we had great weather and not a single drop of rain. It was great meeting, probably the best in ZG this year. Few things worth mentioning was the improving form of NKI (new track record!) and Greg Zengota was the only man to beat Hancock on the night..until EF on the second bend of 4th lap...quick thinking on Hancock's part to lay down his bike and avoid what coould have been a huge crash with Zengi.

 

This is video highlight from one of the local papers:

The weather is brilliant - clear sky, over 25 degrees.

 

A few minutes ago I wanted to say it was a beautiful day but have just got tragic news that two speedway fans from friendly Grudziadz have died in a car accident coming to watch this match...

 

[`] RIP

 

The other three ones are fighting for life in hospital now.

 

 

Their memory will be honoured by a mourning banner hung on the backstraight fence.

We have obviously resigned from making the show we prepared for this match.

God bless Polonia.

A good showing from young Zielinski who beat Jagus twice. We had him over at Foxhall for press and practice and he looked a terrific prospect. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in Witches colours next season

Am I missing something? Jagus was only beaten once this afternoon (5-1ed by Zielinski and Holta), so how could Zielinski beat him twice?

Sure you haven't mistaken a Zagar for a Jagus? He finished third ahead of Zagar in one race.

Nope could have sworn i saw a Zielinski/Holta over Jagus in 2 heats. I obviously need to go to specsavers

[Mateusz]

Proved once again that without AJ we are nothing.

 

The 5th defeat in a row but I still hope this team can save Ekstraliga for Bydgoszcz, somehow..

[YNKS]

I think there was also another polish match worth mentioning today...

 

Two best teams of polish I liga - KM Intar Lazur Ostrow and Stal Gorzow made a speedway thriller in front of 10 000 crowd gathered at the Edward Jancarz stadium of the latter team.

 

I thought it might interest some british fans, as there are some Elite League riders in both teams.

 

Here are the results:

 

Intar Lazur Ostrow 39

1. Mikael Max (3,1,2,2,ex) 8

2. Charlie Gjedde (2*,3,1,0,0) 6+1

6. Sebastian Brucheiser (0,-,-,-) 0

7. Lubos Tomicek (3,t,0,0,1*) 4+1

8. Marcin Liberski (0) 0

 

Stal Gorzow 50

10. David Ruud - r/r

11. Matej Ferjan (3,2,1*,3,3,3) 15+1

12. Joonas Kylmaekorpi (0,0,1,0) 1

Best time: Jesper B Jensen in heat IV (61,44) - New track record!

Referee: Maciej Spychala (Opole)

Audience: 10000

BTW the previous track record had lasted for 5 years and today it was beaten four times : )
