One round to go and IMO the top 7 of Rickardsson, Crump, N Pedersen, Adams, B Pedersen, Hancock and Gollob are safe. 8th place is between Jonsson, Hampel, Nicholls and Lindback while Andersen, Richardson, Sullivan & Chrzanowski are gone. Personally I think that no matter who is 8th, 9th, 10th & 11th, the 4 battling for thte last spot will be back anyway so the question is who are going to replace the remaining 4 riders???? IMO it will be Zagar, Kasprzak, Bjerre & AN Other. Suggestions please

I do not believe Nicholls should be safe, unless he hits the top 8. He got a charity inclusion for this year and he shouldn't be rewarded for serial failure. He hasn't looked like troubling a final this season. He's made and fluffed a few semis to be sure, but that's not good enough.

Hampel should be safe, he missed two GP's!

 

I hope Richardson remains but doubt he will, can't see Chrzanowski or Sullivan remaining.

 

I think Zagars permanent inclusion depends upon the result from Lonigo, if he goes well there then perhaps he'll get one of them.

But what about Lee's performances in the previous 7 rounds????

 

I agree, but to have one Brit in the G.P.'s is not going to go down well.

Either someone steps up or Lee is the obvious choice as sad as it may seem, he and Scotty have years on there side. Wish them well.

Why do you have to be top 8 to justify your place in the GP? Just because you're 11th means you're not good enough eh? Well excuse me but I thought the GP was about the best 15 riders in the World and a wildcard and for me, Nicholls and Richardson ARE 2 of the top 15 rider in the World so both should be back, regardless of thier ability to finish in the top 8.

 

What do you guys want from the GP riders?15 rideras who can all finish int he top 8? Well I have news for you, 7 rider will ALWAYS miss out, doesn't mean they're not good enough to ride in a GP.

And if they continually miss out? Nicholls and Richardson weren't in the top 8 last year. It doesn't look as if they're going to be in the top 8 this year. Thus, they should be moved out and allow fresh riders in. That's my view. Or are we going to continually reward failure?

But will the replacements be capable of finishing in the top 8? What BETTER riders are there that currently don't have a GP place?

 

Personally, I kick out Sullivan, he's past it now at GP level and I'd get rid of Chrzanowski. The rest should stay, replacement wise I'd have Zagar and Iversen in. Possibly Bjerre.

Well, we'll never know unless they get the chance. And they aren't going to get a chance if we continue to reward the serial failure of Scott Nicholls. Richardson showed some promise last night, but Nicholls just can't do it. Always fluffs the first bends of the semis.

The GP qualification tournament was discontinued after last season. And you can see why. BSI don't want riders like Chrzanowski crashing their party. Too much left to chance. The chance that a rider like Chrzanowski qualifies that is. BSI don't want that.

I can see what you mean, but honestly a qualifier would be much more fair than just some people choosing riders of political reasons (or money language).

 

The rider Chrzanowski did qualify but lacked the stability. In fact he has been very very poor in all the GP's. I would say that any of the Wild Cards would have done much better.

Not forgetting the first reserve Kenneth Bjerre either. Had he been in for all the GP's, he would probably have been scoring points enough for a placement around the 8-10 spot.
