How do You know RuZZians would do good in the series? How do You know they wouldn't fail like Woffinden or Lambert (who some Brits said gonna be a Champion soon)? Because they came 1st and 3rd last time they rode in it perhaps? And their Extraliga averages suggest that they would 'do good'. Nobody else 'fails', they are just unfortunate to be in the GP at the same time as arguably the greatest speedway rider ever. He can win as many as he likes until he retires (injury permitting) IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this, Bart will have it his own way for a good few yrs i think tbf, there's plenty of riders in the series that can take points off him now and again but can't do it regularly, plus 9 times outta 10 he'll deliver when it matters at the business end of a GP when others fail. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseq7 Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 "Highlights" on Eurosport very poor. I didn't count but probably only about 9 of the 23 heats actually shown, in an hour long show, at a small track, WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of time taken showing the presentation of the trophies and celebrations on the rostrum at the end could have been used to show another 5 or 6 heats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is level above the rest of the field like you say,I’d likeEmil and Artum back in they are definitely among the Top GP men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Just watched the highlights show, regardless if it was a good or bad GP the coverage was rubbish. Showed about 10 of the 23 races with loads of partying about. Rarely showed ongoing totals. Just show the races Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of Polish money goes in to the series? 2. Are rider's instructed to not foul Zmarzlik? The final was shocking, it looked fixed to me. Lindgren would have 100% rode anyone else to the fence in that heat, I was absolutely stunned to see him actually move out of Zmarzlik's way. That was NOT the usual Lindgren, going for the win. What on earth is going on? Why is nobody pressurising this guy when they do it with everyone else. The whole field just lets Zmarzlik do what he wants, it's becoming a farce imo. Don't be so ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW436 Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Bartosz would still win the world championship this year the way he is riding but when two of the top 3 riders in the Ekstraliga averages can’t compete you cannot deny that it has taken away a significant amount of competition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are good riders but not at the level many thought they would be after they left the under 21 brigade. Kvech is another that is finding life difficult with the big boys. Not they won't make the top, but it often takes longer time then some want to see. Cierniak in two years time may be good, but the way Zmarzlik rides today I think Cierniak will be some way behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
