I wouldn't say there has been any bad picks as wild cards, except maybe Holta for Sweden.
Everyone has been the in-form riders at the time, except Norris, Loram clearly wasn't fit and at the time, Norris' injury didn't seemn to be causing as much problem.
Zagar was a great pick of course but there wasn't really another option.
Now, Lindgren should be the pick for the scandanavian really, Pepe for Bydgoscz and I am hoping Zagar for italy, as much as seeing the old boy race again, he isn't going to fare well against the top class oposition.
