More chance of getting paid riding on these shores it would seem.

Monarchs have had two Poles in the past that I recall  Darek Fliegert 1992 ( Powderhall ) and Michal Rajkowski in 2009 ( Armadale ).  Fliegert had his moments as I recall but was a bit up and down overall.  Rajkowski was an all action rider who had a run of good scores but don't think he finished the season due to injury, but not certain of that. UK tracks were a bit of a shock to both I think.

Think that is a touchy subject with a lot of riders riding in Poland.No one prepared to put their head above the parapet though.

Great signing, should put something on a 6 point average.

What are the rules with Poles coming in on assessed averages? I thought it would be 7points.

Rode in the 3rd league most of the year which is  their national league and has a 8 point ave in that decent no fear type rider but may struggle on technical tracks 

Only rode 6 league meetings last year, 4 in Poland 2nd tier and 2 in Sweden, didn't sound like a good move to Lodz, I know Cookie had problems when he signed for them way back too.

Was 2023 that he averaged 8 in the 3rd tier, has returned back there for 2025.

Good signing, and refreshing seeing so many new and returning riders in 2025.

Would guess he will be a 7-7.5 point average rider at the very least, would of said more but allowing for learning new tracks. Will probably fly round Northside in the opening KO cup match 🫢

Lodz and Opole are two of the three smallest tracks in Poland (Torun the other), Therefore Oskar shouldn't have any trouble getting around Edinburgh.

Good signing.

Opole is still quite big compared to most of the UK tracks, Marcin rode quite well for Lodz and almost had a heart attack when he entered turn 1 at Edinburgh for the first time and you could argue he is the better rider.

If he can work out the track though he will be a very good signing
