SCB Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 SAYFUTDINOV and the Laguta brothers have refused to ride in the SWC because they have no support from the Russian federation. But then what support do the Russian federation get from BSI/IMG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Is there an Australian gp next year? If so, will rory schlein get a chance to ride in a gp as a wildcard? Surely would be darcy or batch assuming one misses out on next year's series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Last time they had an Aussie GP at the end of the season a few riders who had nothing to ride for become injured anyway. So you might find they need a few replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 But then what support do the Russian federation get from BSI/IMG? AS the Russian federation are members of the FIM, maybe that question should be aimed at Geneva Last time they had an Aussie GP at the end of the season a few riders who had nothing to ride for become injured anyway. So you might find they need a few replacements. A few? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandorum Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 SAYFUTDINOV and the Laguta brothers have refused to ride in the SWC because they have no support from the Russian federation. So basically exactly what they did last time and I think the time before that. I don't blame them to be honest. They have said it's not just for them but for Russian riders who are up-and-coming and I believe them. Russia could have won two world cups if not for a bigger bunch of imbeciles in charge than we have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noggin Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 My Ideal pics would be: NKI, Kildemand/MJJ, Jonsson/THJ & Zmarzik........ possibly Smoli for his fanbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would probably have been for the best if Grig had carried his wish to become a Latvian citizen through,although that obviously as far as i know got dropped because of his inability to get to grips with the language.And nobody knows more than me how difficult learning a foreign language can be Edited September 23, 2014 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Is there an Australian gp next year? If so, will rory schlein get a chance to ride in a gp as a wildcard? Can't see Rory getting a wild card as he hasn't donned the Aussie colours in the WTC for a couple of years. Edit: I mean a one off wild card in Melbourne not as a permanent nomination.

OveFundinFan Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Little off topic, but nice comments from Majic Janowski on speedwaygp.com re his dream of being in 2015 gp's - all hangs on whether Zagar stays in this years top 8, which he should.

Shockster Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 If Politics had nothing to do with the wild cards, my 4 would be Niels Kristian Iversen, Emil Sayfutdinov, Grigory Laguta and Martin Vaculik. However, not likely to happen so I would go with NKI, Martin Vaculik, Jarek Hampel and Peter Kildemand. I definitely think they should announce it before the last GP and the riders below 8th would know what they have to do, unless of course they intend to wildcard them.

OveFundinFan Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Those below 8th know what they have to do anyway, they shouldnt need telling. They should put 100% effort in - every gp they go to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THINK Hampel needs to put in a strong performance tonight or in Torun. Deserves a wild card on his record but not if the Hampel we have seen in the second half of the year is the one who will ride in 2015. That would be a waste in my opinion and I am a big fan of the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Eye Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 But then what support do the Russian federation get from BSI/IMG? Having worked for a rider in the Russian team in the World Cup I can assure you their federation is useless at providing support to the riders. The riders are lucky to even receive their prize money from the events. The FIM pay the money to each countries federations who then pay their riders. The Russian federation like to just keep the money. As for getting any help with travel expenses, forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
