With a rumoured 38 points limit and with the usual British average percentage reductions of averages I can see something like: (Please note rough averages) 1) S Worrall 8.00 2) Jack Thomas 4.80 or A Foreigner 5.00 3) Zach Cook 6.20 4) Anders Rowe 5.90 5) Ben Cook 7.40 6) Joe Thompson 3.60 7) Sam Hagon 2.60 All riders imo have potential to improve averages.

Is there not a 5% reduction for British riders like last season? If there was than you could fit 6 of the team from last year. King 7.85 Worrall 7.85 Lawson 7.76 B Cook 6.09 Z Cook 4.92 J.MacDonald 3.51 N Ablitt 2.00 39.88

Back again and thank you again R and R for doing another competition. 200 More on Doyle please and will use the spread stretcher. Kind regards

Thank you and so glad I won this competition on my 3rd try after being knocked out straight away last year. Thanks to IceScot for keeping me on my toes and thanks to R and R for another great competition. If I don't win anything than my win goes out to remembrance of all the riders who have put on the overalls and have passed away this year and thanks to them for giving us entertainment through the years. Kind regards Joe

Zmarzlik 50 Less If pullout, Woffinden 50 less

I did this last year (or was it the year before) risking maximum total when I had a big lead to Susans1 near the end and in the end it cost me my lead and they put in small bets in the end to preserve their lead. Nothing wrong with that and I thought it was well played. It would be nice to win one but to be honest, I am not sure whose going to do well in this one. Thank you for the message and placing my bet on Holder. Kind regards

Disgraceful. How on earth did I know? I didn't do it on purpose and only do it for a bit of fun. I do have a life and I am not 100% following Matej Zagars in and outs or that bothered about winning. I am just taking part. Please do not accuse me of anything like that again.

Sorry, I had no idea Zagar had pulled out. 20 Less Holder... if he isn't in it than 20 less on Safutdinov. Cheers

Zagar 20 Less please

Holder 200 LESS. Thanks R R

Madsen Less 10 12 £2000

Pedersen 50 LESS

I actually agree with this to an extent and in terms of the track I think both Smolinski and Milik will do very well. I would also expect an experienced rider like Zagar or Iversen possibly even a Lindback on his day to qualify. Do the young guys possess the experience... possibly not but I would give the best chance to Robert Lambert making the top 3 but I will be interested to see how Jack Holder goes as he is very much a form man in the UK atm.

£200 More Janowski please.

Appreciate it RR. Edited _ Kildemand 400 more

Pedersen 200 Less

Dudek 200 More.

Hampel + 200

Pedersen £200 Less

Thanks again for the competition. £200 on Pedersen less please

If you want to be pedantic about a typo, than may I add your English grammar from reading your two posts is very poor. Almost like a teenager wrote it. It would be 'Or are you just jealous of THE Polish League'.

Interesting the Latvian getting second. Wouldn't​ have picked him to be most that field. Very suprised at Joel Andersson scoring 4. Just watched him the other day beat Bartosz Zmarslik and a few other top riders in a race. Sad at seeing Ellis miss out and knowing how much the FIM love British speedway and heir allocated GP qualifying places, I would be suprised if he got a wildcard.

Are these semi final draws done randomly? I would guess not looking how strong the Eskilstuna line up looks compared to the other two semis. You have far more of last year's finalists in that sense if I am being honest. Lambert, Berge, Lunna, Ellis and I think Jacobsen was wasn't he? Than you also have Andersson who should qualify and Smektala being no pushover with someone above mentioning Sorensen could be a spoiler and I have heard Moi and Kling are no pushovers. Very harsh on these riders.

Very interesting reading on this topic in regards to this issue that has been addressed and I thank Dutch Grasstrack for the allocation tallies being posted. In one way, I very much agree with the above post. GB has been very poor over the last few years in qualifying and don't deserve many spots but on average usually one Brit does make the Challenge final. 2 spots is absolutely dreadful in comparison to the same as Norway and the Czechs and Slovenians getting more would have me already question some kind of corruption or an odd motive in regards to selections. Does Castagna and co not realise we get to nearly every World Team Cup Final year on year and where some of these nations who have been allocated more, cannot even reach the semi finals of the WTC. Danny King was good in the Cardiff GP last year and he is worthy of a place as is Robert Lambert who is still young but made the challenge last year. So after that we have Cook, Harris, S Worrall and so on. Now surely those riders are beating the majority of those Eastern European allocations except for the Poles. Even the Swedish and Danish allocations are being beat by those riders on the day. I think the GB has been treated appallingly on this matter and sometimes it's not to do with the winning but the experience in the taking part.
