HenryW Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 What was the basis for GB spots? Trying to work out how Newman and worrall were picked ahead of say Lambert and cook?I can't answer the question but I can say that Cook hasn't been overlooked. He is racing in Lonigo tomorrow.

barrow boy Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) I do not think that Robert Lambert was eligible due to the licence he is operating under. In previous years hasn't the criteria for SGP qualification been taken from the finishing order in the most recent British Final. If this was still the case then Kyle Newman should not have been chosen because I do not think that he made last year's final.

If this was still the case then Kyle Newman should not have been chosen because I do not think that he made last year's final. Used to be on finishing order in the previous years British Final, but so many riders turn down the opportunity, I think it just on nominations now. To be fair to Kyle he has always grasped the chance to do the qualifiers at junior level (afaik), so that may have been a factor. http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/speedway/piratesnews/12919804.Speedway__Newman_selected_for_Gorican_GP_qualifier/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Not a great showing by the riders from the English speaking parts of the world at Gorican Edited May 3, 2015 by uk martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Not a great showing by the riders from the English speaking parts of the world at Gorican today That is the thing though,d we have any riders(apart from Robert Lambert)who has any sort of GP future at the moment?Unfortunately I can't see any.So you just have a few riders who are going for the adventure and a bit of experience.They might get lucky,but that is unlikely with better riders in there..Might have been ok on a British track,but really they are just losing money.Kevin Wölbert pulled out of these meetings a few years back because he always got the long expensive trips while others always got the home meetings.And it sort of answers those who want to see all riders in the world able to enter the world championships.........

While I would agree with that, I think it better to encourage ambition than stifle it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
