He didn't appear after his crash with Buckowski. - is there bad blood between Gorzow & ZG ? The crowd seem really pumped up and Protisewicz & Vaculuk particularly so. Perhaps the latter as it's his ex team - Doyle any update after his crash? Looked a heavy fall but I thought Zagatr excl. was a home decision - Okay, this really gets my goat, (and is more if a comment that a question) I've seen this a few times this year where a crashed rider gets up and quickly as his team mate is leading and clears the track only for the ref to stop the race. It's happened twice against Lublin. Janowski broke his collarbone. Doyle broke a rib and punched a lung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really surprised by that from Magic he was up so quickly to check on Buckowski. Supposed to hurt like hell as well breaking a collar bone. Tough lads! Doyle also sounds really painful but that crash looked really nasty. Must be doubtful for the first sgp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got myself a 'firestick' for the season and have watched every match so far.. WOW! How Speedway truly could be is the over riding impression.. Can't do British Speedway much good I would think though with so many UK fans now having access to what's on offer in Poland.. Must confess, I haven't attended anywhere so far this year, but will be there at the SON on Saturday.. As an aside. It was interesting how many starting issues there were at Swindon the other night, yet in Poland there seems to be total compliance to the rules. With the Start Marshall even ensuring all are arrow straight with no rider allowed to be pointing at an angle.. Something to learn over here? Anyhow, many thanks R and R for all your updates, much appreciated.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the start marshall pulled everyone tight up to the tapes as he does in Poland it very much reduces the opportunity to roll forward and get a flyer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even walks back and makes them move forwards due to the ref telling him that someone has rolled away when his back was turned.. Would be a very simple addition to British Speedway, however, would they be happy to adopt something so successful from another country? After all, British Speedway is the best isn't it?

I recently mentioned on my own club's Facebook page that I felt it would benefit matches in the UK if we adopted the Polish system of two from each team going out to test the track prior to each match. That way, the away riders especially wouldn't be going out cold, but could confer and get their setups right . The response from one of the directors was astonishing. He said "just because the mighty Poland do it, doesn't mean we should..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe 'the mighty Poland' are next year going to run their meetings not at weekends but instead on Monday and Thursdays using random septets and sharing riders around the teams if any of them get injured, or are needed elsewhere riding for their other teams.. They are even considering running in the early afternoon as well as evenings, which will then enable No1 riders to ride for two different teams on the same day... They have seen the huge success this operating model can deliver over here and decided to copy it.. Before confirming, they are just awaiting the feedback as to their plans from the various National blue chip companies who bank roll the teams, and the mainstream National audio, visual and written media who provide it with wall to wall coverage... I am sure it will be a foregone conclusion as to their opinion.. Edited May 8, 2019 by mikebv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that really what you concluded from that incident?! Zagar was correct to destroy the Torun pit phone in frustration at the decision to exclude him in my opinion.

Mark Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 At the request of the organizer of the WTS SA club, taking into account the current state of the track after rainfall, prevailing weather conditions as well as unfavorable forecasts predicting further rainfall on tomorrow, Ekstraliga Żużlowa cancels the match of 5 rounds of PGE Ekstraliga BETARD SPARTA Wrocław - TRULY.WORK STAL Gorzów scheduled for 10/05/2019 at 20:30. At the same time, a new date of the match is set for June 14, 2019. The hour of the competition will be announced at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
