racers and royals Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Looks as if talks are nearing a conclusion which would mean Polish company Nice sponsoring div 1 with weekly matches shown on TVP. Looks as if contract should be signed this week-Hopefully it will mean we will get to watch some Div 1 matches streamed this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent news. I have seen some div one on youtube and they have some great racing. Chance to see Scotty and Bomber. Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Polish season not far away not long until they start with challenge matches against the lower tier teams. It’s been a long winter but looking through the teams I think 2014 promises to be exciting and enthralling.  Torun - I believe start with a 8 point penalty? Either way I still expect Unibax to make the Top 4. Darcy Ward will shoot too stardom this year Chris Holder – Coming back from injury but still expect him to be a pillar in the Torun side Gollob – Knowing Tomasz Gollob he will probably have another great season but the fact he is not getting any younger and continuing niggles – Injuries, will this be his last? Sayfutdinov and Miedlinski will both hit 8 point averages it is an amazing Top 5 with another match- winner in the form of Pawel Predepeldski from reserve. Best team in the league for me  Zielona Gora – as always track a quality side I will be interested to see how AJ fares he was the top man but had a rotten GP campaign. Seemed to be riding better at the end of the season probably a rider who will never win the World Championship, he was and still could be a great entertainer. Add to that possibly Jarek Hampel it would be a travesty if he didn’t that being said he is the best domestic rider in the World? If he isn’t he wont be far off. Rarely does he have an off day don’t expect any different this campaign. Dudek and Protasavicw will provide great back up with consistant scoring week in week out. I would assume Falabuz will utilise Aleksandr Loktaev in the middle order. I was surprised he was sent on Loan to Polonia last season however he had some big scores. He’s a talented lad and I think he will do well for Zielona Gora. Jensen and Strezlec are two handy reserves to have. The Polish lad was solid in the U21 meeting while Mikkel Bech is a potentially a classy rider with big scoring potential.  Unia Leszno – Have built on last years solid side by adding Nicki Pederson Nicki Pederson – Great signing nothing else to say there really I was disappointed with Prez Pawlicki last season I have to say, however riding in the UK on tracks like Belle Vue and Eastbourne might help him. Ballinski and Zengota are a little bit lightweight for me. Kenneth Bjerre showed improved form at the back end of the campaign. I feel Leszno’s strength lies with Mikkelson and a potential World Champion in Piotr Pawlicki. Too have those two at reserve particularly the latter is a massive boost. He’s a real racer and I expect Piotr Pawlick to have a great season.  Tarnow – Should make the Top 4 Seems as if Greg Hancock has replaced Maciej Janowski? You know what you will get a solid 8 point average from the American Vaculik and Artem Laguta both have improvement in them this campaign. Buzckowski is an interesting signing around Tarnow? Not sure of his scores but he’s a real racer and Tarnow in my humble is a rather one dimensional track. Kolodziej – Surprised he only averaged 7.83 for Tarnow last year, rode well in the play off matches, not the best gater always good value though  Wlokiniarz Czestochowa – Darkhorses for the current campaign Gregorz Walasek and Grigorij Laguta I expect to be 8.00+. Micheal Jensen I felt was dissapointing last year. But he could easily give Laguta or Walasek some competition for the Top Lion. Rune Holta is a big scorer at home and will be looking for retribution after the mechanical gremlins of Heat Heat 15 against Torun. Peter Kildermand I hope will get a chance assuming he is paired with The Beast those surges going high and wide in Bend 3 could be rather tastey. With Czaja at reserve I fancy them to do well won’t win the league though.  Betard Wroclaw – Will do enough to survive Maltowski and Dolny but the former has been around for a bit. I think he could have a good season. Maciej Janowski back at his former club, can’t see him being a sensation but see him backing up the World Champion on a regular basis Jedrzjak seems to get points at home and Batchelor should score points in the middle order. But really all eyes will be on Tai Woffinden I don’t know where last year came from it was a torpido rise to Speedway glory. Now he is in that esteemed posistion he can just as easily fall back down the pecking order. Tai is a guy who doesn’t lack confidence and I think will stay with Wroclaw for the long haul.  Stal Gorzow – Rather top heavy? 3 big hitters in Iverson, Kasprzak and Matej Zagar. Zmarlik’s growth seems to have stagnated slightly Sundstrom and Gapinski wont do much for me. Iverson theoretically will be up with Hampel and Woffinden at the top end of the average chart. Kasprzak will be solid maybe Zagar will kick on from a good season at a rotten Gniezno. Great stadium love the track but not Top 4 for me  Lotos Gdansk – Another Gniezno?  For me they will go straight back down regularly losing at home especially against Zielona and Torun. Looks like a team of cutaways blokes who didn’t make the cut at previous clubs. Leon Madsen isn’t a No1 or even an 8 point rider. Jonasson good Liga 1 rider but a middle order man at this level along with PK and Lindgren Not much happening at reserve, they will go down at the end of the season.

Just one point-reserves must be Polish under 21`s therefore riders like Bech and Mikkelson are squad members for the top 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Can anyone confirm if the heat by heat format has changed for the top league this year, hoping to finally get over to Zielona Gora this year and would like to take a racecard with me (as the last programme I saw was A4 format!). Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) Can anyone confirm if the heat by heat format has changed for the top league this year, hoping to finally get over to Zielona Gora this year and would like to take a racecard with me (as the last programme I saw was A4 format!). Many thanks I have read absolutely nothing in the Polish press this close season to indicate any changes in the Elite league heat makeup-so I think you can safely use the 2013 format.

DutchGrasstrack Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Gorzow's lineup was a joke lol... only 2 Gorzow riders, the rest were guests. Nice meeting though, never been to Zielona Gora before. Only 10 zloty to watch was a big plus too.  I've uploaded some pics here: http://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/326/trainingswedstrijd-zielona-gora-tegen-gorzow.html  Hope it's better on sunday when Gorzow meets Torun for a challenge.

Something ominous for opponents this season. It appears that our young Emil has learned how to gate in his enforced absence judging from what we saw in the Best Pairs and according to this report. All his 3 wins were" from the gate". Chris Harris is stopping off to have a lesson from Emil on the way back from NZ. Pleasing news also for our correspondent Racers and Royals with the form of a young Mr Przedpelski. Regards.

Emil really can gate now can't he. Reminds me of Hans Nielsen at his most imperious. I cringed at the crash in heat 10.Glad they both got up. I really appreciated the graphic across the bottom of the screen throughout the whole race and if we get streams of this quality I will be one happy camper. Roll on tomorrow and thanks for putting it up. All the best from a wet USA. Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
