ladyluck Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Leaving aside matters of red buttons and gorgeous Polish presenters (she is stunning, by the way) and turning attention to the GP itself, this is the first time in many a season that the world championship is still alive after the SWC break. You probably have to go way back to 2003 since the last time as since then it has been more or less done and dusted since then. This series looks like going down to the wire and with said wire being the Polonia Stadium, Bydgoszcz, it could play right into the hands of a certain Tomasz Gollob. Gollob emerged from Cardiff in good shape, although it could've been so much better but for that engine failure in the semi-final. He won in Malilla last season and a good performance this time around is probably important in terms of confidence building. None of the remaining tracks should hold any fears for Gollob. I guess he'll be favourite for the crown. The only thing he really has to fear is fear itself. Jaroslaw Hampel currently leads the championship, but his lead should really be a whole lot bigger than the two points it is. Hampel should really have won the GPs in Leszno, Gothenburg and Cardiff to go with his triumph in Copenhagen, but he didn't and that could prove costly. That said, he's in a good position and another solid GP at Malilla will keep him ticking over. Jason Crump needs a big one in Malilla to force his way into the title race. At the minute he is on the fringes with quite a few points to make up on the Poles. He really needs to start exerting some pressure to see if they will crack. The problem is that Crump has never been convincing when defending a world title. Of the rest, big performances are needed from Andreas Jonsson, who has slipped up badly in the last couple of GPs and needs to take advantage of home track knowledge to show that he has more than just a lot of talent and ability. It's just not enough. Jonsson is out of the top eight and is just drifting around. He's drifted for years. Fredrik Lindgren also needs a "big one". Apart from the odd GP here and there, Lindgren has been rather a pathetic performer on the very highest stage. All three Danes are also in need of good performances and the same can be said for the British contingent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew666 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 A terrific preview there from ladyluck. Â When point she makes is how the points system tends to mean the championship is usually (though thankfully not this year) all over by about half-way. Perhaps the solution to this might be to divide the championship into three parts. Â There could be two parallel groups of sixteen in the first half of the season, opening up more tracks to the GP experience - then the top eight from each group would qualify for the second half of the season, starting from zero points once again. Â The winners of the two qualifying groups could be labelled World pennant holders or something so they have something to be remembered for.

Â I think he's better than Kus, but that's not saying a whole lot. The truth is that Sweden just isn't producing the talent that it once did and banging in Antonio Lindback was getting a little tired. That said, Lindback has a whole lot more to offer than Thomas H Jonasson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
