This years team lacked a reserve, from what I have seen except for Drabik the two Leszno reserves are the best in the league. Which is why they're going to be crowned champions.

Michael Gruchalski has improved all season- and i think has at least another year at 6/7. it will be interesting to find out which of the Extraleague 6/7`s will have to move up in 2019 because of age.

Col Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Goats are obviously popular in Poland, the city of Poznan are rather obsessed with goats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarkens Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 No, i'd only want Jonsson, Lampart and Lambert from my promotion winning team. Building Ekstraliga team based on riders who won the promotion doesn't work, look at Tarnow this year. Anyway, Kolodziej apparently has a 2-year contract in Leszno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Don't think it would necessarily damage Lambert's GP prospects if he wasn't in Ekstraliga in 2019, but it is obviously the next step after finishing 7th in the NICE div 1 averages. Would obviously be ideal if he could move up with Lublin, slotting in alongside AJ in the 3 & 4 births , with a couple of new signings for the club at 1 & 5.

tarkens Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I'm pretty sure no 8/16 will be binned next year anyway, so Lambert will be at 1-5/9-13. x Jonsson x Lambert x W. Lampart another u21 D. Lampart/Miesiac either as back up, or at 2,4/10,12 I'd rather have Miesiac than D. Lampart, but this season Lamparts came as a package, might be similar situation next year so there are at least two spots open in next year's team, I really like Michelsen and Thomsen, both are good riders, but not to lead the team, so we'll need one or two major signings - Nicki, Dudek (if Falubaz goes down), Woryna (if Rybnik doesn't go up), Vaculik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Is Ekstraliga team building restricted by averages or is it totally down to a teams budget? Vaculik has seemed a hit at Gorzow (he definitely seems good friends with Zmarzlik) & Kasprzak isn't getting any younger, so if they were to release a heat leader Kasprzak would seem most likely. I hope Lublin can compete next year for your sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarkens Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 it's down to $$$ but first thing first, we need to sort out our track cause right now it's terrible, little to no racing in Lublin at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Not sure how they get around that with EU law. I guess it is an agreement between the clubs rather than a rule, means the top Poles can really hold the clubs to ransom.
