It’s really a World Team Cup Final in disguise.Most of the Worlds best are there,good prize money on offer.Just surprise the Brits see Harris as the future and have Brennan at reserve.

Yeah I don't get why you wouldn't have Brennan in it and Palin or someone as the reserve. That's what Danes and poles do but for some reason we sent a guy whose pushing 40

Maybe a cost cutting exercise as Bomber already has the kevlars 

 

Actually all joking apart, Bomber is riding as well as anyone else these days and IMHO deserves to be in the team.

Whether we should be field a younger team is up for debate and equally I think Tom Brennan deserves his place in the team ahead of Ellis.

The only way the likes of Brennan, Palin and even Kemp are going to get better is by gaining more experience by riding against the best from other countries.

If it's illegal to discriminate against age in "normal" jobs must be in speedway too! Best way to do it, is invite highest averaged riders, regardless of age

That's fine in theory but some riders don't want to ride for their country and others faces don't fit.

Looks to be polish tv reinventing an event that hadn't been sold to the Mickley mouse channel. 

There's obviously a connection with  Zielona Góra then? :rolleyes:

It's not discrimination it's preparing riders for the future who might actually have the ability to win the thing. I'm reminded of a pairs event last season, Denmark sent Kevin juhl pedersen and mads Hansen. Britain sent Harris. I don't see the benefit of it myself

I think sending Harris in a mentor capacity is beneficial....but let the youngsters do the racing and gain the experience.

So it's really a glorified challenge, invented by Poland, taking place in Poland, for the benefit of Polish TV. Great.

Still a very decent field, sadly though no Tai Woffinden to lead Team GB.

Big money on offer,Speedway riders have no loyalty when it comes to cash.

The only loyalty that exists in speedway is by the fans full stop.

Would have to be guest for Leon, rr for Jye i’d think, with the new rule of a guest for any of the top 3?
