krompa Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 One of the most important meetings every season and most of them not o TV. Don't understand why. Will any TV show it live this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 One of the most important meetings every season and most of them not o TV. Don't understand why. Will any TV show it live this year? Likely the company that bought the rights are asking for too much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Would make sense if BSI buys the rights Now Dorna got them I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Beevers Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Could be anyone's but the safe bets would be Pawlicki, Lindgren, Dudek and Kasprzak. Good luck to Robert Lambert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I wouldn't count out Ljung either, he knows the track very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Britain should have two riders in the comp minimum, so give Lambert a wild card in place of Harris if he fails to qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarkens Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 and why exactly Britain should have two riders in the GP series minimum? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Britain should have two riders in the comp minimum, so give Lambert a wild card in place of Harris if he fails to qualify. Loads of potential but until he does something on a world stage he does not deserve a wild card. How can any sensible person say he is in the worlds top 15 riders.

SCB Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Britain should have two riders in the comp minimum, so give Lambert a wild card in place of Harris if he fails to qualify.If he qualifies then brilliant. If not it's probably a year too soon for a wildcard. First reserve would be nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 If he qualifies then brilliant. If not it's probably a year too soon for a wildcard. First reserve would be nice though. Peoplevsaid the same about Woofinden. In his first year he struggled but it was a learning experience. and why exactly Britain should have two riders in the GP series minimum? Because even though speedwy in Britain is struggling at this time, we are still one of the major nations. One rider out of 16 is not enough. What would be the point loading the GP with 5-6 or more Poles, who are all good but rarely outstanding on the world stage? There has to be a variety of nations and Britain deserves more than one berth IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Dudek, Pawlicki and Lambert/Fricke would be nice. Just hope it's riders who will do something in the GP and not a bomber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beevers Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Well to be fair to Bomber, he did climb upon the rostrum this year and I don't think a few others like Iversen have. Peter Ljung is a dark horse but I cannot see him making a dent in the GP's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 No more Poles would be preferable. Three is enough. Having half a dozen Poles out of 16 would stifle the competition. Variety is the spice and the more different nations the better Imo. Poland produces good riders that seem to lack that killer edge and consistency on the world stage. One race a world beater, then next at the back. Of course its my opinion and many will completely disagree with me. A top three next week of Dudek, KK and god forbid Jedrzejak would not be good for the series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Peoplevsaid the same about Woofinden. In his first year he struggled but it was a learning experience.Woffy had been an 8+ EL rider and was riding in Poland. Lambert has a near 7 point EL average, no polish experience and is averaging about 4 in Sweden. Id he makes it he'll get my full support but he's still a little short of GP level of he's relying on a wildcard IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I have emailed Dorna to ask about TV coverage of the meeting- either live or whole/ highlights being shown later. Hopefully I will get an answer- I did last year when I asked the same question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
