Thanks very much for that.

 

I'm still quite interested in this though, for no real logical reason than to watch a bit of speedway on the TV.

 

My cheeky wee flutter on Russia may not be that misplaced after all.

Is that possibility taken from a Sportowefakty article? On their live score page they 'currently' state

"Run the race: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th16th 17th 18 19 20 21 Play-off: 22 Final: 23"

 

Not sure why they would alter a format that has each pair meeting each other? But i guess we shall see and if so the air will turn blue around me lol.

 

Sportowefakty's regular updates normally have the heats listed one by one, it's just blank so who knows?

 

The line-up on the news page of the official website also differs from the teams page with Zagar back at reserve (19).

 

Whatever, it should be good and as the official site says:

 

"For those who think how to spend saturday's night we aren't leaving any doubts: it's worth to go to Motoarena and watch exciting fights of the gladiators of „black sport”!"

 

Canny argue with that :t:

If Hans doesn't let Michael down then I expect the Danes to win it, Jepsen Jensene is a track master around Torun... I can see him going through the card unbeaten.

 

The way he rode for Grindsted this week he'll be lucky not to get arrested for impeding traffic! :lol:

There's a lot of complaints coming through on the Polish sites about the high ticket prices in view of the changes in the line-ups. Many fans not happy at all.

Yeah that's changed since earlier. Needless to say the official site is way out of date with even older line-ups. Also that page with Zagar at reserve still has Nicki Pedersen listed to ride!

 

I don't want to issue a blank racecard so hopefully people will hang back downloading, although i see the server clicking away ooops!. In the meantime i'll put TBC in the Danish and Czech rider slots which will enable those who need to download now to do so. The nature of the racecard (unlike yourself i've only made one when i normally do three versions) means there will be no large amounts of writing to do upon announcement of the teams . Ok pop back to check later for any news.

 

On to the racing is everyone presuming it's going to be a walk in the park for Poland?

Regardless of debate over the ever changing field I'm looking forward to this. A Nicholls/Harris pairing would have shown up reasonably well tonight, if Tai had been fit we'd have even been in with a shot of the podium. Such a shame we close ourselves off from such events as a Speedway nation.

Tai Woffinden had a Elite League fixture at Wolves tonight and Harris is away in the SGP qualifier, This date is wrong by the organizers.

Would have been the icing on the cake for UK viewers.

You said that last time and he got a just about respectable 11 from 6 rides but was totally owned by Chris and Adrian. :rofl:

Cruel but true.

Once he fails to qualify he can begin his whining campaign to see if he can get in that way :)
