Some Top riders had bit of falling out with Polish authorities ( over a dodgy track I think,they refused to ride).So they never got picked for challenge.
Agree,it is noticeable the Tatum mentions how fast Madsens bikes are nearly every race he is in.Madsen said in SS interview before GP started that he is in it to win not Top 8 stuff,good on him.He is doing the business up to now,
Excellent GP ,Freddie deserved that win.Madsen still up there with the best,he certainly can get the bike to drive while riding the inside line of the bends.
There can still be a significant delay when there is a crash where riders need treatment.I sure you have witnessed some even with double medical cover.Here is hoping it runs smoothly.
