Gp Challenge Final Gorican Saturday 29th September


Recommended Posts

GET it through your head ... the fourth placed rider won't replace Crump.

So you tell us, doesn't make it correct.

 

It'd be interesting what would happen if the rider who finished 4th this weekend takes this to court. Nowhere in the rules does it do much as hint at 9th place in the GPs getting the place.

The rules are simple - 8 riders from GP and 3 riders from GP Challenge will qualify to next year GP!!

No. The rules are the top 8 GP riders and the 3 from the challenge qualify. If anyone who qualifies doesn't ride in the GPs then the first reserve takes his place. The first reserve is the first non-qualifier (4th place) from the GP qualifier.

I would'nt be surprised to see 2 more retirements as well . the Winter is a very long time when you are over 40 , and a couple surely won't want to slip out rather than go out at the top .

THINK Hancock will try and hang on for a GP in the States (possibly 2014) and judging by conversations with him shows no sign of wanting to pack up.

 

Gollob? Who knows but what else would he do?

2014 ? even peter pan will be showing his age by then , Gollob will have to give up sooner or later so he'll have to find something to do

5 days to go ! lindback unsure whether to pull out-which would give peter kildemand a chance.Sadly Croatian TV don`t appear to be covering the meeting(even if we could have found a stream)still can`t believe the FIM can`t organise internet streaming for a meeting of this calibre-which we could buy.

 

 

meeting starts 6pm (uk time) and updates will be available.

 

I've just come on to ask if there will be ANY tv cameras present at the track. If so it would have been a nice little extra for Premier Sports to slot in. As they also do streaming in addition to their tv subscriptions they could gain one-off income for the meeting. Although i guess that would have depended what's on their schedule

 

UPDATE EDIT Went and had a glance and they have programmed a French rugby union league match between Toulouse and Toulon! I so had to resort to Wikipedia to find out what a 'Top 14' match was. I had presumed it was rugby's version of football's European Cup but nope nothing so grand.

 

As for the SGP Challenge there are some iffy riders in there and i also fear a rider who will be outclassed in the series itself getting lucky on the day. Shades of the considerable downside of the old one-off World Finals looming.

The only TV company that are at all likeky to be there are Croatian TV-as far as i can see they are not showing meeting live,probably will include a report in a sports bulletin.as i have already said i am most dissapointed we can not watch this very competitive meeting at all.

2 riders have to pull out-Mikael Bech is 1st reserve

 

Mikkel B Jensen have pulled out and Nen Barker is 1st reserve. Dennis Andersson is 2nd reserve.

However I don't know if Dennis' broken leg have healed yet.

So the current third reserve might be moved up to 2nd reserve.
