Polish Extraleague/Nice Polska Sunday 7th october live on TV


Recommended Posts

Has to go down as the most bizarre cause of a stoppage in history. Looks like Pawel will have trouble sitting down for the next few days LOL.

Really not liking this new Polish rule where a non Pole can be named. Too much chopping and changing, plus riders under even more pressure to perform.

Just caught up with the last few heats of this on YouTube after going out earlier.

Gotta be said the Polish league do most things better than the UK but which imbecile came up with the rule about not being able to award a race? 

Wroclaw were robbed of a draw there. Woffy and Drabik a mile in front of Doyle entering bend 3 on the last lap and cos the Torun junior had fallen it got re-run!!! 

Pathetic decision and a 5-1 turned into a 3-3 and they were robbed of a draw. Surely now if you’re last and out of contention you just need to drop it to get a re-run for your team??

Scandalous

To award the race riders have to be on the last (fourth) lap, not third as was the case in Torun

It's NOT scandalous, neither is pathetic. If you choose to watch Polish speedway you need to know the Polish rules to understand it. Isn't that simple ?

It did seem harsh that a clear 5-1 turned into a 3-3 due to a Torun rider falling on his own, but I'm not convinced they were robbed of a draw.

If they had got the 5-1 in that race then Woffinden wouldn't have been eligible as a tac sub in heat 14, so it would have been Drabik, Milik or Lebedev partnering Fricke in that one and I'm not convinced that any of them would have been capable of winning that race.

Is someone here able to give a clear explanation as to how the new rules with the number 8s works this year? Like Eric I above, there are a few of us who'd like to be clear about this one.

Cheers.

Hopefully Roman  or Pawel(our Polish/Canadian correspondent)might be able to translate the rule book on that particular point-also I would like to know the current  rider replacement rule(top 2 riders only ??)

What are the rules regarding the number 8 rider, can they replace any rider at any point in the meeting?

Do the reserves have to take 3 rides?

It does seem a bit bizarre that you can have someone like fricke at no 8 who can take any ride at any time but I suppose in one sense it does level out the reserves as leszno have a far stronger reserve pair than the rest of the league

OK, from what I have gathered so far from Polish friends, here is what they understand about the new rule:

1. The number 8/16 must be under 23 years old.

2. They can be Polish or a foreigner, as opposed to the numbers 6s and 7s who must be Polish.

3. They can ride in heats 1, and 3-15, replacing anyone once only, unless

a) that rider is also under 23, as in the case of Drozdz or Lebedevs last night or

b ) if they replace an injured rider during the match they can be used to cover all their rides, as in when Doyle pulled out after heat 1 last Sunday at Gorzow.

There may be other bits to this that haven't yet been explained to me, but that clears it up a bit so far. Fricke is there only because he's u23 (same with Jack Holder I suppose last night at Torun), but it certainly strengthens Wroclaw to keep him in that position.

Thanks- reference point 3 i think( not 100%) that they can only replace riders in the 1 to 5
