NICKAT Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 An early call for the wild card to be Hans Andersen. Cant really think of anyone else myself. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Turner Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 VERY early call...it's 6 weeks away ! It should of course be Hans that's chosen. Can't really see anyone arguing against that one. Fan or official. But let's get past the World Cup and the Italian GP first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I'm pretty sure they'll have a Swede as it's in Sweden. Isn't that the way they normally do it? They certainly have a Pole at the European GP. Also, would they really want to risk Hans Andersen winning another one and being hailed as the 'true' champion?

Yet they have Englishmen at the British GP, so they should surely have a Scandinavian at the Scandinavian GP (not just a Swede as its in Sweden).

Silver Bee Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Also, would they really want to risk Hans Andersen winning another one and being hailed as the 'true' champion? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is this not his home league track in Sweden? Where Luxo race? Also, Lee Richardson has been the european GP wildcard in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Perhaps there is a non-English rider you would like to suggest has deserved it more. Erm, my point was there is a Scandinavian who deserves it more than any Swede. in much the same way there are non-Welsh Brits (English) riders who deserve the British GP wildcard more (tho I still think Phil Morris should have a wildcard/reserve slot!!)

Jools Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hans might already be in it as first reserve if Rickardsson retires early or is ruled out with injury - he's not in the Swedish SWC team & there's still no news on the Lonigo wildcard despite the draw being tomorrow. Intrigue!!!! Doesn't Peter Karlsson ride for Luxo at Malilla - he could well get the wild card as he's qualified for the final & is going well at the mo. The Swedes need someone to cheer as Trick has not been going so well. Hans should get it though - Zagar got a 2nd go last year & he only came 3rd as Krsko wild card- Hans won one!!!

T.N.T. Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Peter Karlsson will get the Wild Card if he is fit enough or Mikael Max if not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be among top 3 in the GP qualifications final i Vetlanda (Swe) or hope to receive a permanent wild card rom BSI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Prix points will be awarded to the each rider according to his race points scored during the Main Event (Heats 1-20), or according to his placing in the Big Final (Heat 23). Race points scored during the Main event will be awarded on the following basis: • For first place – 3 points • For second place – 2 points • For third place – 1 point • For fourth place – 0 points • Riders disqualified or failing to complete a race for any reason score no points The total race points scored by each rider at the conclusion of Heat 20 will be credited as Grand Prix points in the overall classification. However, no additional race points will be awarded to riders participating in the Semi- Final races (Heats 21 and 22) but those riders taking part in the Big Final (Heat 23) will be awarded the following Grand Prix points in place of (and not in addition to) the race points achieved during the Main Event: • First place in the Big Final – 25 Grand Prix Points • Second place in the Big Final – 20 Grand Prix Points • Third place in the Big Final – 18 Grand Prix Points • Fourth place in the Big Final – 16 Grand Prix Points In the case of a dead heat, the lowest riding number jacket will be the betterplaced rider.
