eric i Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 I am not exaggerating when I say that was the worst meeting I have ever seen and I have watched racing from Berwick and Leicester. Why oh why did Discovery sign a 4 year GP deal with this dreadful track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazS Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 yes 12 to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) Gorzow will be happy with the 12 point lead. They can easily hit 40 points at Lublin in the second leg. Michelsen is forcing himself to ride when he's really not fit at all, Drabik's form has fell off a cliff in the second half of the season.

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 That’s a blow to Lublin, 12 points is a big ask for a 4 man team, what has happened to drabik? He has been dreadful last couple of meetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Why do they race over 4 laps in Poland ... why not just get a man with a flag on the second bend . DVD should be a big seller for insomniacs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Kubera deserves a GP Wild Card on his form this season.IMO.Smarzlik is different Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is to me and I think Dean( more qualified than most of us) has said he is probably the greatest rider of modern times ,just incredible to watch and his ability to enter the corners at such speed is what makes him so special .

It's also his ability to not drift too wide because of the extra speed. Brilliant technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 I'm not convinced it is over, Gorzow reserves will only get a 1 point at Lublin. While I'm sure Zmarzlik will go almost unbeaten even he can only score 21 points. Wozniak & Vaculik both need to get double figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 For a neutral i think its still well poised, lublins reserves are capable of beating gorzow 2nd strings easily at home, no idea what is up with drabik, the week off wont do michelson any harm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did miss a season, it is only his first year back. 22nd in Ekstraliga averages with 1.738 (although he was much higher at the start of the year) when you compare him to his fellow Poles, that's higher than Smektala with whom he came through the ranks and Przedpełski & Przemysław Pawlicki who are a few years older. Discounting Miśkowiak (reserve) the only Poles with a higher average are far more experienced riders except Kubera who has been #8 most of the year. He has fallen significantly behind Lambert (9th on 2.144) who he beat for U21 titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I have heard is that Zmarzlik is leaving Gorzow for Lublin to replace Mikkel Michelsen. Strange, you'd think having signed Zmarzlik it would be one of their senior Poles making way for him especially as Michelsen has been better than Hampel & Drabik. I think there will be allot of changes this winter following that. I hope the situation with ZZ (RR) available for Russians all year is different (obviously I hope Putins invasion is over). How come both Zmarzlik and Vaculik can take RR for Anders Thomsen when both are higher in the averages than Thomsen? Different RR rules or am I incorrect?

Different RR (ZZ)rules and considerably tighter than other leagues- must be in top 3 of averages( injuries) and anyone can take a ride. The averages normally cover rounds 1 to 8 and then a new issue 9 to season end. Edited September 12, 2022 by racers and royals 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But doesn't seem to be. Guests are just a joke. Of the top five, two must be Polish seniors and one must be U24. The two reserves must be U21 Poles and the #8 (if named) has to be under U24.

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 One thing that does annoy me is the number 8 rule, Lublin this year and Wroclaw in the past plus some others doing it this year ,every rider named in the team should be made to have 2 rides at least, there is no need to have a number 8 and if you have to have one he should only be able to take R/R rides not just put him in when someone isn’t performing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
