Col Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/988930/pge-ekstraliga-szykuje-zmiany-w-regulaminie-kluby-beda-mogly-skorzystac-ze-swoic Quote Much depends on the proposals of the clubs themselves, but at this point it is most likely that weakened teams will be able to borrow guests from lower leagues and use them interchangeably with a replacement player. This, in turn, would mean that the power of the teams would not be much smaller than a few weeks ago, and would additionally protect individual clubs in the event of injuries of the leading players. Among the speedway riders who could soon join the PGE Ekstraliga clubs are Max Fricke , Matej Zagar , Kenneth Bjerre , Adrian Miedziński . Interestingly, it can happen that each of these players will return to the club where they played not so long ago and know not only the track, but also the entire team.

It’s the sort of thing that gets laughed about in British Speedway and shouldn’t be allowed to use RR for a banned rider at the start of a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenryW Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Just wondering....Have Russians actually been banned from any other sports leagues?

Bagpuss Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 I can completely understand why they've gone with R/R but personally I feel short changed by seeing one (or even worse two!) fewer riders than the full fourteen, and this is likely to be all season. There is no ideal solution unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve69 Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 I hope that following Grigory Laguta`s article in sportowefakty he has ended his speedway career outside Russia & that NO club touches him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
