New Science Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Personally I want to see a top three looking like this; 1. Lindbäck, 2, Lindgren and 3. Sundström. It will save BSI having to seed 2 token Swedes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 It will save BSI having to seed 2 token Swedes To be honest, IMO if Lindbäck is the sole Swedish rider qualifying, there is no need to give a wild card to another Swedish rider but I do think it will happen despite that there isn't anyone who deserves it. If Lindbäck does not qualify he will get one wild card and then it's less likely that they give a second Swede a wild card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a minimum 2 Swedes in the GP from the start.As long as there are 2 GP's in Sweden this will continue .BSI will be praying Lindback makes it through the qualifier,Hampel will be praying 2 Poles don't qualify as that will be his wildcard up in smoke.

Bruiser McHuge Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 There are not many of that field that would be great assets to improve the GP's....most would significantly weaken it, the odd few would be ok, hopefully those will get through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. I couldn't see any out of that lot that could finish top 8, apart from maybe Anton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPNY Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Does that mean the SGP Challenge will be able to view live?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Does that mean the SGP Challenge will be able to view live?!! that`s what I`m asking-it all depends on who they have managed to sell it to. Edit I have emailed Dorna will post if I get a reply. Edited August 25, 2015 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Dorna sold the Moto GP rights to BT, it was on Eurosport until 2014 started. Big money to Dorna. All we get now of Moto GP is ITV4 think it is on the MOnday after the GPs and then only the Moto GP race with very short highlights of 2 and 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we get now of Moto GP is ITV4 think it is on the MOnday after the GPs and then only the Moto GP race with very short highlights of 2 and 3 With it being the last year of the British Eurosport GP contract-BSI will be hoping BT/Sky are interested in taking it on.

customhouseregular Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 No!...I don't have Sky or BT. If Eurosport don't show GP/SEC my live viewing days are over . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEC should be ok as it`s pan-European coverage-however I suspect that BSI would get a better deal from SKY or BT if they were interested in the British coverage of the GP`s.

Edit I have emailed Dorna will post if I get a reply. I have received a reply from Dorna- the meeting will not be televised live anywhere-however a 52 minute highlights programme will be put together, however it`s not been taken up by a British broadcaster as of yet.

stratton Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 With no Darcy now is there an extra wild card place going? i certainly think Lindback is the only swede who should be in it.I hope both Pawlicki brothers and Kildemand qualify i also think Pawel Przedpelski should be around the series he is that good i believe.
