moomin man 76 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 A pretty shocking day for the Brits - 4 riders in qualifying and 1 reserve place obtained. When qualifying places are allocated for next year's qualifiers, I wonder if this years and last years non-performance will result in a reduced allocation of qualifying places?

tellboy Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Shame for Lambert tonight.An e/f while a long way ahead which would have given him 11 points and an easy qualification.Some good racing tonight and Kasprzak was brilliant,if it wasn't for his off I'm sure he would have breezed to 15pts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Sounds like lambert was very unlucky to go out, and a fall cost Cook a possible spot. The bits seemed to have by far the hardest qualifiers, can't see it impacting on their spots for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T.

Is the lack of racing abroad a reason possibly and the fact in recent years Cook, Lambert and Garrity have concentrated more on doubling up rather than riding in Sweden or Poland or managing to reach the level to ride in those leagues. Good to see the four Wolverhampton riders easily getting through and carrying on their good form and all four are riding in at least one other country this season.

Gavan Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Well done both Hans and Brady on qualifying tonight at KL. you would rather Hans and Kurtz got through than Cook and Lambert???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Don't think you can really accuse lambert of only focusing on Britain? Cook has clearly tried to get polish speedway. And garritty arguably not good enough to get a spot in Sweden or Poland. Tnt you also left huckenbeck and lahti off the list of qualifiers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the ef Lambert would of qualified easily? very unlucky his time will come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) Lambert very unlucky, plenty of time on his side as you say sid. Would rather see him get a semi final wildcard than Harris. Cook unlucky to finish behind Kurtz tbf, Kurtz gained a point when kk fell I believe. And cook then fell in one heat. A point there, and the point masters gained due to Lamberts ef, could easily have had both brits through.

waiheke1 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Must be a chance I would say. Though where are the semis? Guess more likely to be a local rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 HOW many of these qualifiers do you think would enhance the current SGP line-up and, if so, who would you swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the lack of racing abroad a reason possibly and the fact in recent years Cook, Lambert and Garrity have concentrated more on doubling up rather than riding in Sweden or Poland or managing to reach the level to ride in those leagues. Can't really agree with the riding abroad part of this, this was held in Britain and the Brits still weren't good enough. Lambert very unlucky, plenty of time on his side as you say sid. Would rather see him get a semi final wildcard than Harris. Cook unlucky to finish behind Kurtz tbf, Kurtz gained a point when kk fell I believe. And cook then fell in one heat. A point there, and the point masters gained due to Lamberts ef, could easily have had both brits through. Lambert unlucky? Just not good enough yet, at least he has time on his side. Cook unlucky? a bad last after he looked like he was going to go through the card and a silly fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB252 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 HOW many of these qualifiers do you think would enhance the current SGP line-up and, if so, who would you swap? It would take more than a couple of rider swaps to enhance to morbidly dull SGP series, what with it being 5 rounds longer than it needs to be and largely on crap tracks. I'll have a go though. Lindgren and KK would probably have a better stab at it than Bomber on last night's form. Even Andersen might get his elbows up in a couple of heats and make a dangerous move or two. Karpov and Vaculik would also be welcome additions in place of some of the old dead wood. What's the point of the question though? Should World Championship qualifying just be abolished and the crooks at BSI just pick their favourite 16 riders for each round? That would make it more of a dull, boring closed shop than it is already. Lambert unlucky? Just not good enough yet, at least he has time on his side. Cook unlucky? a bad last after he looked like he was going to go through the card and a silly fall Lambert was half a straight ahead in his fourth ride and the bike packed up. He would have scored 11. That's pretty unlucky. Cookie blew it of his own accord I agree. Garrity's equipment isn't anywhere near the necessary level to succeed in World Championship Speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 HOW many of these qualifiers do you think would enhance the current SGP line-up and, if so, who would you swap? this year's line up is pretty good to be honest, in terms of the form riders of last season making it in. You'd want Emil in for Harris obviously. Otherwise Vaculik maybe ahead of Jonsson? There's no rider on the qualifiers that stands out as being missed in the series, though I'd have loved to see Lambert qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
