Daugavpils management are Pro-Russian.

yes, always been that way, because the majority of the population in the Daugavpils region have Russian roots. No less than a quarter of the Latvian population speek Russian as their first language.

Grigory Laguta has his wife and child in Latvia, and I read that by now he even has a Latvian passport himself, along with his Russian passport. He has apparently been offered a job with Lokomotiv Daugavpils to work as a coach for the club's junior riders, but he has declined the offer. 

Anyway, he will not be able to ride for them in the Polish League, because PZM simply won't allow it. 

Grigory was quite succesfull in the Russian League this year. He was the team captain of his original home town club Vostok Vladivostok and guided them to the league championship. Further he also became the Russian Individual champion of 2022.

He's a hell of a rider, can't deny it, I would like to see him back one day riding again in Poland.

He is one of the All-Time Greats and it is such a shame that he was never given a full run in the  SGP series. All he had was a couple of wild card appearances in the Latvian GPs at Daugavpils.
