Jacques Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Does anyone know the plans of Emil for 2015 re the GP's.? Is he going to contest? is there a way for him to contest? I've wondered much the same myself. I suppose much depends on whether he still has the "influence" in his camp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hes not done the qualifiers. So it's not really up to him is it? Will BSI give him a wildcard? They should really tell him to take pee off if he expects a wildcard and qualify himself. Saying that, Id love to see Emil back in the GPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 FORGIVE the plug ... had an exclusive one-on-one interview with Emil in Bydgoszcz on Saturday. It's in Speedway Star this week. Quite chuffed actually... he has been refusing to talk directly to the media but told Armando Castagna after meeting him on Saturday morning that he would come to the Polonia Stadium en route for Tarnow and talk to me but nobody else. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

severnsider Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Even though he wasn't in qualifiers he could still be in Lonigo as one of the wild cards I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Mic Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I have to be honest, much as he seems a very nice young man and is clearly an excellent rider, I don't see why he should be offered a place in the GP in 2015. He turned down a place this year, and chose not to contest the qualifiers, whatever the reason doesn't really matter. Plenty of riders would have liked his place in the series and they have contested the qualifiers this year to get in for next and he would get a place handed to him on a plate having put two fingers up at the SGP on two counts. It probably all boils down to money and if thats the case I'd rather have someone in the series who wants to be in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillipsr Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Really hope hes back for 2015 hes the sort of rider i could watch ride on his own!! Best style out there IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Blue Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I would also like to see him back in the GP's as he is without doubt on of the top 15 riders in the world, but I think he should have to show that he wants to be in the series by trying to qualify and not just be given a ticket back. If he had entered the qualifiers there is a better than even chance he would have qualified and the question would be irrelevant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best style out there IMOIf he rides he will win the title at some stage,for me Emil and Ward are the two biggest talents the sport has with Tai,Greg,Niels upsides who are all as we all know great riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 EMIL won't ride in 2015 and declined the chance of a wild card place at Lonigo but plans to do the qualifying rounds and says encouragingly that he still wants to be World Champion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratton Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 A crazy situation really surely a compromise can be met? again the supporter misses out.Seeing a real talent test himself against the best it's like football missing out on watching Messi play football.

OveFundinFan Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) So if he has decided to do the qualifying rounds that means the earliest on the GP scene will be 2016 and that is not a certainty ie he has to keep injury free. Its not as if he can have a single GP wild card as GP's dont go to Russia. If I could I would give him the 2015 Cardiff wild card (cause I am going but I know it can't happen) but that will already have a name on it Edited August 7, 2014 by OveFundinFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Dave the Mic, I said re Emil.... If I could I would give him the 2015 Cardiff wild card (cause I am going but I know it can't happen) but that will already have a name on it and yes, if the powers that be want more then 1 GB rider at Cardiff then the obvious choice is go for the current 2nd best rider in GB and that isChris Harris, nuch as it pains me.
