PHILIPRISING Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 FIRST response from an FIM official is that the fourth placed rider in Gorican will replace Crump but there remains some confusion about whether that is actually the case. On the case... CONFIRMED by FIM this morning ... Jason Crump will be replaced in the 2013 FIM SGP series by the rider whose is ninth on the official standings at the end of the 2012 season.

On the case... If that is the final decision-BSI will be really sweating on the challenge result-it could really seriously have a big impact of the quality of the 2013 series.Nothing against Pavlic,Ljung,Smolinski,Walasek but if they all qualify it would be a disaster(and a miracle) Edit just seen confirmed as top 3 only.

JT Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 THERE may be another retirement before the 2013 SGP line-up is confirmed folks. Hancock or Gollob are the only two I can think of. Sadly one of these retiring would see Andersen in the GP series again, or even worse, if he has a half decent round in Torun, the dreaded Chris Harris returning for another season of ludicrous press releases after every crap meeting. Hopefully Hampel will score well in the final round and overtake both Andersen and Harris, thus freeing up a wild card slot for the organisers post season. The fact that Vaculik and Hampel are so close to Andersen and Harris, having missed so many meetings, shows how rubbish Hans and Harris have been this year and why they shouldn't be anywhere near the series next year (unless Andersen qualifies by right in the Challenge).

spook Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) JC's retirement & unlucky Davey Watt's injury should be a massive help for IMG ..... if it's 9th place that gets his spot then thats the AJ issue sorted...... JC stepping down along with Watt pulling out of challenge means now Darcy is assured and it gives more possible room for AJ ...... If it ends up being 4th from the challenge that gets JC's spot then it is more chance for MJJ & Vaculik to make it through without using a WC................. sadly this also gives IMG a bit more Tai/Bomber room.. although it is really going to test IMG's stubborness with including a Brit, to place one above Darcy, Jarek, AJ, MJJ & Vaculik................ my guess is that they are crossing everything that at least one of MJJ or Vaculik qualify as they will then squeeze all the riders in that they need to Edited September 25, 2012 by spook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_minall Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I think one thing rings true about this - we're set for a cracking GP series next year. Lots of potential new riders of which all are capable of winning GPs. Bring it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) THERE may be another retirement before the 2013 SGP line-up is confirmed folks. Maybe Chris Harris will announce HIS retirement from SGP....although to be honest no one would really notice bless him Edited September 25, 2012 by pandorum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backless Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I thought Pearson announced Harris retiring from SGP.... no hang on, that was retiring IN an SGP, and he usually does it two or three times in EACH SGP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Know Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I think greg and gollob should also look at turning it in. Nothing to prove any more and they are not young men anymore. Both have been fantastic for the sport and great great riders. Best to bow out while still very good than hang around like some do for to long and look bad. ( ermo and havy ) Then again if means harris and hans in then hope both ride for another 10 years AS FAR BETTER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 SPEEDWAY riders face a long retirement with no assured income. Of course it remains to be seen for how long Gollob can command match fees close to twenty grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason is 37 which means he has about 28 years until official retiring age? Edited September 25, 2012 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are very naive with their finances I cant imagine the likes of Greg, Tomasz and Jason needing to worry about having to earn another penny again.
