Trees Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) The new rule which is suppose to take effect Nov 1 limits any rider who rides in polish Extraliga(applies to all riders regardless of nationality) to race in only 1 other league. How can that be right, unfair on other leagues and riders who do more than two. Selfish imo, when things go titties up in Poland the other leagues will remember this rule!

IronScorpion Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 After trying to follow where riders are riding this year, it seems that Polish Speedway RULES! OK! After the talks of progress in the British Leagues, there has been talk of fixed race nights, wed/thur or thur/fri when GP's allow. Then the Poles decided to race Sunday/Fridays with some Wednesday, the Swedish Leagues had to adjust and we fitted in where we could. Now they are stipulating to the riders - Polish League plus 1 other. What would happen to their squad riders that do not get regular rides. This might have a major bearing on the EGM/AGM to recruit the top riders to our league. The Swedish League might have something to say also.

uk_martin Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 So the Polish authorities are flexing their muscle and saying their top league riders can only race in two leagues! Talk about holding riders to ransom! The new rule which is suppose to take effect Nov 1 limits any rider who rides in polish Extraliga(applies to all riders regardless of nationality) to race in only 1 other league. How can that be right, unfair on other leagues and riders who do more than two. Selfish imo, when things go titties up in Poland the other leagues will remember this rule!  Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't I recall that this was the intention of the FIM a year or two ago? Perhaps the Poles are the first to announce their compliance with some FIM directive that has been passed since the announcement of their intention?  http://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/499248/fim-moze-ograniczyc-zawodnikom-liczbe-startow-marek-cieslak-niech-wybieraja-dwie  By all means have a dig at the Poles if you are that way inclinded, but don't be surprised if other national bodies make similar announcements in the near future.
