Col Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) You'd think Częstochowa will win at Gorzow considering the start of the season both clubs have made. Zmarzlik aside Gorzow have been poor. Lublin should see Rybnik off with comfort, hoping Lambert's good start to the year continues to bloody the nose of the team who released him. Sundays meetings will give more indication of potential playoffs. Looks like two of Grudziadz, FZG & Wroclaw to join Leszno & Częstochowa. First real test for the revamped Leszno septet.

Kedavra Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Why don't any good level British riders - with the exception of woffy and Lambert - try and get a ride out there. Bewley obviously had a crack but not really top level in the british leagues yet. Someone like charles Wright who didn't look out of place at the british GP would surely be given a go?

Bewley obviously had a crack but not really top level in the british leagues yet. Someone like charles Wright who didn't look out of place at the british GP would surely be given a go? Craig Cook said a few years ago in an interview that it cost £35k to set yourself up over there... And I presume the British lads (effectively initially on trial), won't be getting big signing on fees and 'top money' until they prove themselves. Also, by doing Poland, they lose the DU potential (and money) as they will be required to ride Fri, Sat or Sun in a normal season.. And then of course you can get replaced very quickly after just a couple of bad meetings, meaning your investment is now bringing in no money at all.. It is a big risk for those who do it, and truly a world away from the 'comfort zone' of riding in the UK, where when you get to a certain level you become 'bomb proof', with absolutely zero chance of losing your place in the top division, and you also get the opportunity to pick up lots of race win money in the 2nd Division.. There is no doubt though that if your ambition is to reach the top, then you do have to race out there as it gives you a true barometer of what level you actually are at, and where you need to improve, as well as delivering true pressure to perform against the world best.. You can only sink or swim, hence those who swim are the ones who move on to the highest level.. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 This. You can’t blame some of the Brits for earning good money from riding in both British leagues, as frustrating as it is that they don’t / won’t try to push on in foreign leagues. Hopefully seeing what Robert and Dan are trying to do in Poland will inspire some of the youngsters coming through to strive to do the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 There were and still sadly are unfortunately some real horror stories too of British Riders (especially in level 2 and 3 in Poland) not getting paid and being owed relatively large sums of money that never materialised in Polish Leagues going back several years. Better to ride for £50 a point and get paid here than £500 a point and never get paid there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Promoters over here understand that one day, regardless of how much they have 'invested' in the riders development, that they will 'lose them' to Poland, but realise that the more GB riders 'lost' to domestic UK Speedway means the more successful the GB team will inevitably become.. Bringing far more wider media coverage, as the newspapers and TV do love a GB success story.. No disrespect to any team in this country, but not one (however successful) can 'sell' GB Speedway nationally like a winning GB team can..
