"When it comes to speedway, Artiom Laguta (who was the World Champion at the time) and Emil Sayfutdinov were immediately expelled from the Grand Prix. The Russians were also not allowed to race in the Polish leagues. Also those who had Polish passports, but before the invasion of Russia, they traveled as Russians. Only those who represented Poland were treated leniently."

 

So still cant ride in Poland then ? 

They were Russian before issue, so they still remain Russian , regardless of passport

That is taken out of context - that part of the article is a recap of what happened for the 2022 season where Chugonov was allowed to race but both Laguta’s, Sayfutdinov and Tarasenko to name just some were not. It does not say that is what is happening for 2023.

It doesn’t say that - it says Russian and Belarus riders aren’t allowed. Technically neither Sayfutdinov and Laguta fall into that bracket anymore so there is no reason for them to be blocked. They have Polish passports and citizenship.

If they took Polish citizenship after the invasion of Ukraine then they are still banned as far as I read it.

Which is an absolute nonsense - why? They are no longer calling themselves Russian. Live and now citizens of another country. Makes no sense for that logic.

For what it is worth, that isn’t how I read it.

Sayfutdinov gained Polish citizenship back in 2009! Doesn’t sit well with me any of this to be honest. 
 

On Holder, is he really that interested in riding here? Maybe he is I don’t know him but I’m a bit sceptical about Chris Holder based on his past efforts at Lynn. If he isn’t now at Peterborough and then doesn’t end up at Ipswich either then it’s one of two things, he’s not all that bothered about doing UK or Louis doesn’t want him. 
 

Maybe Holder and Buster can smooth things over..

Why do Buster and Holder hate eachother? Is it from his stint at King's Lynn and the general lack of effort?

13th July 2017. The evening that part of me fell out of love with speedway, the track was a little heavy and rough but nothing that twelve of the riders on show couldn't handle. Unfortunately Messrs Batchelor and Holder senior sat in the pits when their races came round, treating the paying customers that night with contempt. The whole situation was handled badly by all parties including the Lynn hierarchy (Chapman, Lyon & Allitt) and Lynn of course lost the meeting. Batchelor and Holder were sacked on the eve of the transfer window closing (a petty move but at the same time my sympathy for the riders was zero) and as far as I know those damaged relationships have never been repaired.

Having been there that night and leaving the stadium completely dissillusioned I can understand Buster Chapman not wanting Chris Holder anywhere near a club he is involved in but equally you'd have thought six years later they could have sorted their differences enough to work together. That said I think if P'boro end up with Nicki Pedersen they'll be better off.
