Torun Sgp 2014 (inc Sunday)


Recommended Posts

How much is 1.3m Zlotys in English money?

 

Who is favourite to win the GP on Saturday.??

 

I can see Greg wrapping up the world title but not the GP.

I see KK doing well in the GP, perhaps not the winner though.

 

Is Hampel going to do a 21 pointer again?? I dont think so, too eratic with his performances since the last GP.

 

Probably one of the "occasional" Polish riders.

Lodz are def at home to Czestochowa on Sunday-confirmation here http://speedwayekstraliga.pl/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Komunikat-Enea-Ekstraligi-nr-60_2014.pdf

However no start time quoted

Edit think this whole play-off fixture in doubt

Google translation of Sportowefakty article

 

Eagle boat is not going to give awizowanego composition on the first play-off matches, because he believes that this meeting should take place on 19 and not 12 October.

 

- We will not give any awizowanego composition on the first leg qualifier. First, the oral conversations GKSŻ members were convinced that the first play-off is October 19. This information also bore on Extraleague and today it has been changed. However, we did keep the screenshots on your computer club and on the basis of well see how it all along the way changed. I do not understand what this is all about and why someone wants to suddenly make the first play-off October 12 - said in the pink portal SportoweFakty.pl Witold Skrzydlewski.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Recall that the Eagle has already announced that he will not go in the playoffs if they do not receive support from the outside. As emphasized by the president Skrzydlewski, was about EUR 250 thousand. On Thursday, is about to take place special press conference at which the club Lodz inform its decision in relation to the competition in the play-offs. According to our information, the team Witold Skrzydlewskiego maintains its earlier position and decided not to participate in these meetings. The main sponsor of the Eagle criticizes the Polish authorities slag. Skrzydlewski believes that they have introduced significant confusion around the deadlines for play-off games.

 

Screenshots made ​​by Eagle:

-> Calendar on page PZM

-> Calendar for the PZM (as amended)

-> Calendar Leagues International

 

- The calendar of international events also bears the date October 19. Mistakes have to be too Speedway in Calendar year 2014 turns out that mistakes were everywhere? This is getting ridiculous. I think it is already a mockery. Now all of a sudden changed. Once again, I believe that you should report to the Minister of Sport, to see what is going on in Polish shale. It is after all a total mess. You can not change the deadlines as you want. The case is for us so much simpler that previously advertised that riding on Extraliga does not interest us. From one of the representatives of this company, I heard that a club like ours would lower the image of the tournament. When he talked to me yesterday, it's still politely discussed the October 19 deadline. Today, everything has changed. I do not know what it is. Scared that but go these playoffs? - Asks Skrzydlewski.

The way i read it on espeedway.pl Lodz have pulled out of the playoff match and subject to the finances at Czestochowa they will remain in the Extraleague in 2015 i would check it out if i was you

With an Aussie GP in 2015, will that give the incentive to Batch to blow this Saturdays GP apart and get on the podium?

It's an odd one. As much as I think Batch is a bit of a twit I've quite liked watching him in the GPs - so I hope he stays in. Certainly more entertaining than AJ and Freddie.

GOOD practice today, track in great shape. Should be a cracker tomorrow.

 

GH could be World Champion after Heat 5 ... unlikely but it could happen.

 

Great atmosphere around the stadium today. Like end of term at school.

 

Weather forecast is excellent for Saturday, actually quite warm so won't need the thermals this year.

 

Great to see Mark Loram here. How he would have loved this place...

That's Medzienski and Lindgren both wrongly excluded just because it was past the first corner.

 

They really have to change that rule.

 

Why? Freddie's exclusion was correct. He was too hot.

Had it been Nicki there would have 50 pages already with hateful comments regarding how

a dirty move was from Nicki.

 

All 4 back would just be "exploited"/miss-used be the referees.

That was a superb ride by Smederna's Przedpelski

And what's all this c**p from Tatum that they won't show a rerun of a crash until they know riders are Ok.Nobody likes to see injuries, but it happens, but why TV producers worry that people are going to get upset is ridiculous. If you don't like crashes, don't watch! I am not a ghoul and have seen riders get more than seriously injured, which is terrible, but unfortunately it's part of the sport. Get a grip

MJJ locked up and Freddie had nowhere to go.

The ref should be able to put all four back if no ones at fault.

You like crashes, fair enough but the main reason for not showing replays will be down to relatives viewing and respect required.

The two dirtiest riders in world speedway excluded in heat 1-4, but it is always fun to see Miedzinski make an a** out of himself. Lindgren should have been excluded in his second heat as well, he is just too ruthless.

 

But could somebody please tell me why GP rules are so stupid that the reserves have to spilt the heats between them? Przedpelski would have gotten 5 heats and counted for the overall result in the match since Jepsen Jensen was not able to take his place after Lindgrens antics. Like it is now he is just there for the show and to fill out the heats which is just plane stupid. What if Przedpelski rides three heats, gets 9 points, will he not qulify for the semi`s?

A fair point but let's see how they are first before we start gawking.

I remember the replays of the Lee Richardson crash on Polish TV as I watched it live.

Lee looked OK but obviously wasn't.

It's a bloody dangerous sport and as you say crashes part and parcel.

But the better technology becomes it allows to see so much more.

It's a hard one and to be honest it's not easy to reason which camp to be in.

Kelvin knows what the rider is going through as he has been there himself so give the lad a break :)
