9 out of 10 ice dancers in Bratislava are Europeans, which is quite obvious due to logistics reasons. I think it will be the first direct competition between both British duos. And although everyone seems to assume Vika and Nikita will be the winners, I'm curious about the judging and the point gap between them and Betina and Sergei (assuming both pairs skate clean).

When will the other Polish team make their debut?
Yup, the first time since nationals. Tweedale/Buckland haven’t yet beaten Fear/Gibson (who have never beat Coomes/Buckland) but a new season is always time to improve! Tweedale/Buckland got 146 at Lombardia and came 5th, which is much higher than what Fear/Gibson got silver with in 2016 139.6.
Unfortunately for Tweedale/Buckland, they weren't able to beat their team colleagues at Ondrej Nepela. Although they won the SP, they were clearly behind Fear/Gibson in the FD. They'll have to wait until the next direct confrontation.
According to Justyna's Instagram, although the answer was given by Jeremie, it will be Warsaw Cup in November:

I checked the Fan Fest and Justyna Plutowska & Jeremie Flemin don't have their own thread there, so I think I will create one in the afternoon. For those who are interested, some months ago they left Barbara Fusar-Poli and moved to Montreal. The couple is very active in the social media. Below some links:

I hope this year they will move in the ranks and can't help to see Montreal programs performed by a Polish couple
As for Justyna and Jeremie, I hope they have improved enough to fight with Natalia & Maksym for the National title and the post at Worlds. I am excited Poland has two duos in the same discipline that push each other and are eager to improve and develop. Let's hope one day we'll see them medal at a major ISU event (Natalia & Maksym have already won some CS events).
I am hoping the European dance teams can showcase a style distinct and different from Gadbois and Russia this quad. Ice dance is nicer with diversity.
Does Zoueva have anyone??

Even in Gadbois there is diversity!
