Was supposed to start a couple of weeks back but then Jedrzejak happened and now I think I read somewhere that one other roubd was cancelled as well. But these dates in this thread are happening me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Sadly i fear this competition will be one big disaster- 24 hours before the first round we still don`t know the confirmed line-up. Even Polish sources are unsure. Both luke Becker and Thomas Gapinski have both indicated they are riding in France. The internet coverage is confirmed and is being done by Podkarpaciel who film all the Rzeszow matches -here 7pm UK time Edited September 13, 2018 by racers and royals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read them yes, understand them, no. Too complicated for me, if they drop 4 lowest scorers from each match, who replaces them to complete the field for the next round?, doesn't make sense.

I have just been reading on Sportowefakty that it`s likely to be a 12 rider 15 heat match with then A,B,C finals ? I said a few days ago that i thought this would be a disaster of a comp and it`s certainly looking that way.
