LESZNO and LUBLIN, I know those are typos, just making you aware :)

Kukalov - and another one here.

Anyway, if all media information are true, those will be the teams in Ekstraliga 2020:

Jarosław Hampel
Janusz Kołodziej
Piotr Pawlicki
Brady Kurtz

Maksym Drabik
Patryk Wojdyło
Przemysław Liszka

Włókniarz Częstochowa
Leon Madsen
Paweł Przedpełski
Fredrik Lindgren
Rune Holta
Jason Doyle
Jakub Miśkowiak
Bartłomiej Kowalski

Falubaz Zielona Góra
Antoni Lindbaeck
Michael Jepsen Jensen
Piotr Protasiewicz
Martin Vaculik
Patryk Dudek

Motor Lublin
Krzysztof Kasprzak
Grzegorz Zengota
Mikkel Michelsen
Grigorij Łaguta
Matej Zagar
Paweł Miesiąc
Wiktor Lampart
Wiktor Trofimow

Stal Gorzów
Szymon Woźniak
Anders Thomsen

Mateusz Bartkowiak

ROW Rybnik
Kacper Woryna
Troy Batchelor
Mateusz Szczepaniak
Daniel Bewley
Siergiej Łogaczow
Mateusz Tudzież
Przemysław Giera

Some question marks obviously, Fricke is being linked with Rybnik, Jamrog with Rybnik and Gorzow (unless KK to Lublin doesn't happen), no Lambert who said he wants to go back to Nice 1 liga, the problem is no one there can afford him. I assume Hancock will make a comeback this year (Rybnik?)

Czestochowa look strong but Gorzow look very weak.    Rybnik need a big hitter like Hancock.    I love watching racing at that track.

Woffinden is definitely at Wroclaw.  He said he had signed when doing an interview at a GP

Drabik & Smektala are too old to be at reserve, so who gives way.  Jamrog at Wroclaw & Hampel at Leszno would be my guesses.

Is Lambert leaving ? There was a load of what seemed like publicity pics on the net the other day with him, Michelsen and the rest of the team :blink:

Yeah, but the photo's I saw included Jonsson, who certainly won't be there.

The Gorzow team listed is stronger than the team they fielded this year.

Good point. I am not ‘friends’ with Jonsson and was mainly looking at the woman in a skin tight dress anyway:D Didn’t even bother to read the text, just assumed...

what are the team building rules I.e. limits on overseas riders, 2 u21 poles at reserve?

no changes, so two u21 Poles at 6 and 7, and u23 at 8 (doesn't have to be Polish), however it looks like from 2021 they'll allow one of 6/7 to be foreigner and might scrap no 8

I reckon both Jamrog and Milik are leaving, Drabik and Czugunow to take their place, so:

1. Woffinden
2. Czugunow
3. Fricke
4. Drabik
5. Janowski
6. Liszka
7. Wojdylo

As for Lambert, I think it's 99,9% confirmed he's leaving, which means Motor managed to secure a solid Polish rider for no 1-5. Otherwise they'd be able to guarantee Lambert 4 rides/match as no 8 who replaces someone from 1-5.
As for team photos etc., I believe all riders were contractually obliged to show up and spent few days with sponsors, at meetings, season closing ceremony, etc.

Interesting post

Rybnik look rubbish. Desperately need a big hitter and maybe whoever gets elbowed out of the top 5 at Leszno

Glad to see Holta back at Czestochowa he was an absolute legend around there. Hopefully he still has a bit more left in the tank. Pedersen at GKM sound fun and glad to see KK get out of Gorzow. What an absolute dump of a race track.

Some of those moves are rumours only- might happen or might not !!

as far as I know both Holta at Czestochowa and Pedersen at GKM are 100% confirmed, however can't be announced until 1st November. 

KK out of Gorzow most likely will happen, based on rumours and his interview on TV last week, Gorzow owes him circa £100k but he isn't the only one waiting for his money, if he's smart he'll leave, Jakub Kepa (the guy in charge in Motor Lublin) visited KK and his father recently and some users (with usually very good info) on Polish speedway forum are saying he's already at Lublin. 

we should know more regarding KK in 8 days as 20th October is a deadline for Gorzow to pay him the money they owe

I thought that all Polish League clubs had to be granted licenses by PZM at the start of each season before they could compete?

If KK is owed such a large amount of money then wouldn`t that go against them for next season?

`A la` Czestochowa a few years ago when Sayfutdinov & Laguta were allegedly owed a truck load of zlotys.

KK is owed so called 'sponsorship money', in theory club paid him everything they legally had to so they'll get a license no problem.

Most, if not all, top riders in Ekstraliga have sponsorship deals on top of what clubs legally can pay them, Woffinden's contract is mostly paid by Betard and believe me, all in all it's way more than Ekstraliga's official maximum, which is no more than 150k for signature (~£30k) and 4,5k per point (~£1k)

According to sportowefakty 30 riders this season had max contracts, but obviously some riders like KK, Holder or Lindgren, even though had disappointing seasons and low average, earned more than e.g. Michelsen or Smektala who had higher avg then them,  (I assume all 5 were in that group of 30), but not as good sponsorship deals provided by the club.
