Aren't you being a bit cynical, Polish league is where its at, even Under-24 level, I applaud Bickley for giving it a go, surely putting himself out of his comfort zone of British league can only do him good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly ,time will tell.Did you watch it?.WhT was your opinion of the riders in that match.While it’s U/24,I suppose you have welcome the league but the standard didn’t look exceptional.Like I said must be getting decent money.Let’s see what Brits manage to stick it out.Jack Smith certainly is not Championship material.

screm Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 I didnt watch the whole match, just a couple of the later heats. Looking at the line ups it looks like the juniors from ExtraLeague teams plus un- used juniors or squad members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrs Posted April 27, 2022 Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Brilliant experience for young riders. We really should thank the Poles for training our future(we hope) riders , and giving them wider experience and knowledge of proper quality speedway tracks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weve trained enough for them over the years,as for tracks they all look the same no newcastles or plymouths over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get regular racing in Poland he will need to improve his scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never beat an opposition rider,gifted a point in a 3 rider race.You have question is it worthwhile.Like I have said it is not a high level, it’s questionable if it Championship level .IMO.He is getting experience but he will have to improve if he wants to move up a level in Poland.It’s a different ball game.Most of the Young Brits are finding it tough.Wish them well though.

I`d be surprised is Bickley has his own equipment out in Poland to use so if he has Torun club bikes you wonder about the maintenance of those bikes.
