I was talking about next years GP challenge qualification.

Don't the FIM allocate how many nominations/place go to each nation, give the places which would have gone to Russia (pre war) to Poland on the understanding they give them to Emil and Laguta. Discovery then agree with PZM not to show the Russian or Polish flag or play the national anthems for either rider.

Was the rule introduced after the invasion? It dosen't really make sence that the FIM are happy for the riders to ride under a Polish flag but not a neutral one.

I don't understand why they can't ride under a neutral flag, why do the rules prevent this? Why can't the FIM just change the rules?

Track prep is disgraceful, get some water on and rip the outside.

Money talks

I agree, there are a few tracks that would benefit from bringing in the kerb on both ends, banking the track from airbag to kerb

Mikkel Michelsen (Wildcard) Maciej Janowski (Wildcard) Leon Madsen (Wildcard) Jason Doyle (Wildcard) Thorrsell first reserve

feel for Thorsseell, Fricke was very lucky

Mulford should be excluded for that

5 rides from the GPs, not many riders would turn down that oportunity down no matter how hard up they were.

When Scunny beat Poole earlier in the year MPT scored 13 he was bagging up every week at home. The last month or so his form dropped off a cliff.

I am surprised, there has been a lot of talk about the viability of the Cardiff GP. Some fans won't pay to watch 2 gps, I think this will be the last Cardiff GP.

He may make the GPs at some point but these young poles can suddenly find it more difficult when they are too old for the protected reserve berth. People would have said similar about Smektała, Drabik, Miśkowiak, cierniak, while these riders still have plenty of time on their side none of them look like GP riders at this moment in time. I think there has only ever been 4 riders that have gone on to win the world championship after winning the under 21's.

Przyjemski is good out the gate and is sat on rocket ship but I don't think we aren't looking at a future GP champ imo.

Assessment friday, they sound hopefull he will be riding. Not sure about MPT, Danny King? probably Dan Thompson. At Poole Anders Rowe for MPT, Mulford for Harrison.

I would be surprised if they went to Manchester and Cardiff, probably wouldn't make financial sense.

Source?

While I think the Russians should be allowed to compete under a neutral flag I can't see the FIM changing their mind. Bartosz Zmarzlik Robert Lambert Fredrik Lindgren Martin Vaculik Dan Bewley Jack Holder Mikkel Michelsen (Wildcard) Dominik Kubera (Wildcard) Leon Madsen (Wildcard) Andzejs Lebedevs (Euro champ) Jason Doyle (Wildcard) The Last 4 from the challenge, if Kubera qualifies from challenge and Fricke doesn't, Fricke will get his wildcard pick.

congrats Lebedevs

Lebedevs beats leon here he is champ

No excuse but kemp must have been a late call up because MPT was due to ride on friday morning. Did Scunny realise during the meeting as Kemp was taken out his 4 ride even though the tie had already been decided.

Pickering not riding for Edinburgh next year because he wants to concentrate on Poland and doesn't want the travelling. Sheffield to Scunthorpe is a lot easier than traveling to Edinburgh. Godfrey should put some big money on the table to get Pickering, he is a class act round the EWR.

I don't understand that either

Not sure Oxford has a huge home advantage, its not really a peculiar track. Oxford should bring in Rowe and Conor coles
