I think he's a classic case of just doing enough. Look at last night, none of the other finalists managed double figures in Landshut, but he just keeps getting to the final. I'd love to see him be truly tested but I don't think he will be this season.

I agree, this was the most unfair part of it all. I know we've always had this rule that a crash/EF is considered worse than a straight zero, but Fricke scored more than him in the heats. It wasn't even like they were tied.

I wish they'd replicate MotoGP/F1 to an extent and group some of the further afield ones together. Start the season with Australia & NZ and then back to Europe. Probably easier said than done admittedly.

You don't get a chance to score an extra point, you get the extra point if you've scored higher than the same finisher in the other LCQ scored in the heats. LCQ1 - 3rd, 6th, 8th, 9th LCQ2 - 4th, 5th, 7th, 10th. I see the argument that if you've finished 3rd on points, and are in LCQ 1, then you'll get more points for finishing 2nd than whoever finishes 2nd in LCQ 2 does. That's just the advantage of scoring the 3rd highest points score though. If the 5th placed rider from LCQ2 finished in the same position as the 6th placed rider did in LCQ 1, they'd get more points because of their score in the heats.

I'm not sure he could, the aim is just to score as many points as possible in the heats to give yourself the best chance. It's not as if there is any advantage to choosing to finish 2nd (as opposed to winning) in the LCQ either, if he had scored the most points, as he'd miss out on the final. Mind, don't take any of this as gospel, my days of keeping track of speedway rules are mostly in the past!

Yeah, but that's cos Holder scored 11 in the heats while Woryna scored 9. I think it's fair that Holder gets more in what's essentially a tie? Woryna couldn't have engineered anything.

I must be missing something. The riders from each LCQ get the same as their counterpart in the other, just ranked by their heat score.

Holder scored more in the heats so gets more points for his 2nd place finish. One of the (very) few things that mKe sense tbf!

Good financial decision those golden racejackets, they'll only end up making 2 of them.

That was superb full stop, never mind for Prague! Excellent stuff. Go on Leon 💰

He had a golden opportunity on lap 3 when MJJ made a mistake, only to then make a worse mistake himself.

"do you think he did anything wrong?" as he hurtles towards the fence sans bike.

Thanks. Absolutely ridiculous. If only every rider faced each other once or something to make it a bit simpler.

What rule am I missing re. Madsen/Holder? Holder faster in qualifying, beat Madsen, same scores, etc.
