I agree, and do you see a pattern developing here........Patchett/Batchelor.......Patchett/Richardson......or maybe it's just me?  Should be fun at Birmingham then  , with him and Bratters  Yes....it doesn't seem like a marriage made in heaven does it?  And then add Drury to the equation and we could well see some sparks flying. |

AFTER much speculation, Swindon Speedway can now confirm that Polish hot-shot Grzegorz Zengota will ride for the Robins in 2010.
The twenty-one-year-old joins on an assessed 5.00 average in what will be his inaugural Elite League campaign.
Zengota, widely acknowledged as one of Poland’s hottest speedway prospects, was born in the town of Zielona Gora in the west of the nation.
Since making his speedway debut in 2004, the youngster has spent his Polish League career with Zielona Gora and played an integral role in the team’s Ekstraliga Championship-winning campaign.
Indeed, Zengota has risen through the junior ranks at Zielona Gora to become one of Poland’s most sought-after youngsters.
Aside from domestic glory, Zengota has been part of the Polish Under-21 squad that triumphed in the team speedway junior World Championship in both 2008 and 2009. Indeed, in the latter meeting, the youngster scooped 13 points as Poland notched a commanding 57-point total.
Furthermore, Zengota notched an 8-point tally in the 2009 World Under-21 Championship, which earned the Pole a creditable seventh placed finish.
The youngster has spent some time in Swindon during recent days, meeting club officials and viewing the Abbey Stadium set-up. The 363-metre Blunsdon bowl is a similar size to Zielona Gora’s 340-metre circuit, with just over 3 seconds separating the respective track records.
Swindon team manager Alun Rossiter said: “Grzegorz is one of the most highly-rated Polish youngsters and I’m sure Swindon fans will be thrilled that he’ll be riding at Blunsdon in 2010.
“Grzegorz’s individual performances and Polish League scores mean his acquisition is hugely exciting for the club. He is used to the highest level of racing, having ridden in Poland’s top league and been amongst some very competitive junior events.”www.swindon-speedway.co.uk

Personally i think he'll struggle over here to hit a 4 point average let alone hold a 5.00. Marcin Rempala came over with a good reputation and was also a 5.00 because of his apparent "pedigree" but he stank the place out and averaged just over 3 and has gone backwards since moving out of a Polish reserve berth where the riders get enormous help. When that help stops, a lot of young "talented" Poles disappear. |

Thanks Catch ..so what Rosco said about finding a ready made replacement for Zagar in terms of thrills and flair may be a tad of the mark ? |

From what i've seen of him Cloaky yes. The lad is an out and out gater, one of the best i've seen and that alone will hold him in good stead on a lot of our tracks here where gating is very important. Make no mistake the lad has talent without question, but i always have doubts when talented young Poles come over to England because on the whole, they struggle. But Zengota could be different who knows so its a case of wait and see with him. Being on a 5.00 and starting in the main body would be a concern for me as he could well struggle there and have his confidence knocked.
I personally think he won't get near his 5.00 average but could well be a good long term signing once he gets used to things here. The real benefit will be 2011 when he's ridden all the tracks, and will be on an average he will have every chance of increasing.

I would agree from what I've seen. Great gater and pretty quick but no thrill merchant when behind.

Bless him, I know he is in talks, but he didn't say who with....thrown to the Wolves....oh no the Robins, poor lad. Actually if you can get him at reserve you will have a really strong rider, he just lacks a bit of confidence at times. |

, with him and Bratters
