full-throttle Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 2 hours ago, ChrisSimpson said: It mentions in the press release the 2 metre self distancing will be observed. How can this happen across the start line or during a race? Won't the riders be wearing a helmet and googles? If not, why not? If so, then there is no issue with coughing or sneezing over anyone else, surely The biggest obstacle, will be in the case of any accident, when paramedic/ambulance personnel have to treat the rider in close quarters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Not sure if everyone is being serious- but the social distancing will be throughout the pits and other areas but not the race. that`s why a rider can only have one mechanic at the track.

Nicki Pedersen had planned to race in England, Denmark, Poland and Sweden. So this proves that money is not the only objection. Commentators seem not taking into account that anybody crossing Polish border is obliged to spend 14 days in quarantine. So to avoid this any foreign rider riding in any of the Polish League is forced (more or less) to stay in Poland for the whole season. Not riding in any other League. And what about GP rounds outside Poland? I don't have the answer for that, but logically thinking if anyone participate in this, on return to Poland for ExtraLeague duties has to go through 14 days quarantine.

PolskiZuzel Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 The Bydgoszcz daily newspaper Gazeta Pomorska writes today: PLN 60,000 (£12K) for signing the contract and PLN 1,000 (£200) per point - these are the official rates for the 2020 season in the Polish eWinner Ist league. On the last day of April, the Polish Motor Association published new Club Membership Regulations. The regulations have been adapted to the new circumstances, in particular the coronavirus pandemic. We already knew the level of contracts in PGE ExtraLeague: 200,000 PLN (£40K) for signature and 2500 PLN (£500) for a point. Now we know the rates in the first league The regulations read: the maximum remuneration rate paid to a rider riding in eWinner 1st League matches may not be higher than PLN 60,000 (£12K) net, the maximum remuneration rate for a single point gained or bonus in competitions cannot be higher than PLN 1,000 (£200) This means that top eWinner league riders can earn around 250,000 PLN (£50K) in the 2020 season. The top ones will probably get extra apart from the official contract. The new regulations also introduced a ban on riders in the Danish, English and Swedish leagues. Each of the representatives of these countries must sign the statement: "I hereby declare that I do not have a signed contract with the club in Denmark / Sweden / Great Britain to take part in my national league games." Without it, he will not be approved for competition in Poland. (...) The regulations regarding the guest rider have been significantly expanded. Teams will be able to contract any number of them, and even two such riders will be able to ride in the match (this also applies to seniors and foreign riders). PGE Ekstraliga clubs can take advantage of the eWinner 1st League and 2nd Speedway League speedway riders, and I-league riders can reach for II-league riders.

LagutaRacingFan Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Denmark have done the same. I think Poland's attitude to this situation has been appalling. They should be working with other organisations to solve this mess. Maybe the organisations can come to some sort of agreement. A scenario like the below could work. June/July - Polish League August - Swedish League September - Danish League October - British League Edited May 1, 2020 by KeirStarmerFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Sweden, Denmark and the UK are refusing start permission to ride Poland if the riders are doing their domestic league racing, these are the affected Extraleague riders Lindback, Bewley, NKI,Thomsen, Bjerre and Lambert.

Nice to get the chance to be a part of @canalplussportpolska program R1 yesterday! I think I made some good points from the foreign riders point of view. We all... want to race in @speedwayekstraliga and personally I have no problem at all with starting the season in Poland until the borders are open again and the 14 day quarantine rule has been lifted. The main concern is the annex and the lack of information in this one, if this one can be sorted with a few changes everything will be fine. I love Poland, I live here and almost have for 5 years now so don’t mistake any articles released for my words cause I have not spoken with any media’s a part from my interview on tv last night! The Danish federation has as well as Ekstraliga put us in a very hard and complicated situation and both of them have good and bad arguments, but please stop spreading rumors etc. We’re trying to fix the situation together and accomplish a united decision. So stop the “fake news” and believe the situation will be resolved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
