Three five ones to draw...:o

Wow...

Edit. Great piece of team riding by the Holders, keeping the Lublin riders in front of them...:D

A massive three points tonight for Lublin..

Torun shocking....

Is it my imagination or did Lublin just do the equivalent of a professional foul in football? Holders and Doyle are miles ahead in ht 15, and suddenly Laguta inadvertently gets in Michelsen’s way, but not enough for him to fall. He causes the race to stop though.

Rerun and Michelsen wins. Something stinks IMHO, very poor when they’d won anyway!!

Have another look at it- Laguta lifted and lost control- no way was it on purpose.

Yes that’s true and yes I’m probably being unfair, but my main point is that there was no need for the race to be stopped, Michelsen didn’t fall and it wouldn’t have made any difference to the race result.

By getting it rerun they got the chance for Michelsen to win

Trouble is the ref saw it as unfair riding  irrespective of helmet cover- he couldn`t declare it under Polish rules so it had to be rerun.

Berntzon always worth watching...

Gala has impressed too...

The '2nd Division' in Poland is certainly a very high standard..

 

I enjoyed the meeting with a few all action heats.   Lodz maybe a little unlucky as they would have built a good early lead but for a bike packing up when on a 5-1.    Lodz could get relegated which would be a huge surprise.

big congratulations to the majority of posters who completely ignored the troll on this thread.    Ignore and they will soon go away.

I was tempted!

Shame that after some amazing speedway races that's what some people want to bring to the table.

I'm from Torun and it's really sad news. We've never been relegated since we joined Extraleague  in 1976.

We 100% deserve it, it already would have happened back in 2017 if not for Grigorij Laguta's suspension after using doping.

 

Hopefully something will change now, with management and youth training. It'll be sad to part with Jason Doyle, who has phenomenal season this year. Anyway, hopefully we'll be back in a couple of years since finances are really stable!

the wrong thing with relegation is the riders who took you down (Holder x 2 for example) will probably get jobs in the top division next season.    The team selection was surprising with Holta getting a pick.
