Gp Challenge Vetlanda Sep 3rd - Any Tv Coverage?


Recommended Posts

Great ride from Lindgren. But we can expect KB to be in the GP at some time in 2017..

 

When was the last time 4th place didn't get a ride ?

The reserves for the season used to come from the GP challenge but they are now selected. There is no guarantee that Bjerre will be on the reserves list despite finishing 4th today.

Lindgren will be in next year no matter what. He will be either 8th, a wild card or qualify from tonight. Pawlicki will either be top 8 or wildcard as well. If Bjerre wins he deserves his place as he has qualified by right.

If 2 Poles qualify by right through the top 8 plus Dudek there wont be any wildcards for the Poles.Regardless of ability the GP will have to have to have 2 Swedes and 2 Danes

I think you are wrong. Its how Lindgren and Kildemand got GP rides in 2015 and 16

When you watched Lindgren on Monday night it was hard to believe it was the same rider as today.Think it really shows what they think of GB just topping up earnings.!

Yep. KK should have bought his British bikes along this afternoon!

 

With three Poles already in the top eight, and possibly there to stay, and another Pole in next year with Dudek, will BSI award Hampel a one of the wild card picks for next season, probably not IMO.

 

Doubt he will get a wildcard. 5 Poles is too many and there needs to be riders from a selection of countries. Lambert completely outclassed. Expected him to score 6-7 so that is disappointing.

 

We do need two Brits in the series. Just who, is the issue.

Marky is correct. Riders placed 4-6 in the GP challenge are used in order, if more riders

are needed then BIS/FIM can select anyone they want.

This is the second time in a row that Lindgren finished top 3 in the GP challenge on this track.

Not so sure why we need two Brits, apart from Woffinden there isn't another credible alternative, maybe Lambert one day will be good enough but as today shows he is a long way from mixing it against these sorts of riders.

You're going to have to put me out of my misery. I can't think who the other is

Michael Jepsen Jensen is 2nd reserve for this season despite not racing in the GP challenge last year.

 

Edit - Of course he was maybe selected to replace PK who got a wild card. That would make sense from the way you describe it.
