Ghostwalker Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 If Lindbäck continues like this, Lindgren will overtake him, Bjerre will be in and Lindbäck will be in a need of a wild card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReturn Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Emil should be in the GPs im sorry not even an argument It is an argument (or debate) if somebody disagrees, and I do on principle, he walked away from them so he can jolly well qualify. But that said, he's a top rider (I don't think he's quite good as people think he is), so if he is selected I would be fascinated to see how he does. Not read thread fully. Nicki Emil (reluctantly) Hampel if he wants it. One other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks123 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 I agree that Sayfutdinov will be an added attraction to SGP but he chose, for what ever reason, to leave the series, I think now he has decided to return he should do the qualifiers as I think it would be unfair on other riders who have tried season after season to qualify. I accept that at times the qualification system can be a mine field but that applies to all the riders competing. Remind me if Tai qualified or got a wild card. I seem to think he received a wild card having been in the series (failing to qualify), missing the qualifiers in subsequent season's and BSI decided we needed another Brit in the series alongside Harris. If the beer hasn't clouded my memory are you saying Tai shouldn't be in the series (or has been an added attraction to SGP). Back to the beer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 If Lindbäck continues like this, Lindgren will overtake him, Bjerre will be in and Lindbäck will be in a need of a wild card. I don't know how pally Lindback and Lindgren are, but hopefully they can sort something out between them to spare us all a year of Bjerre in the gp's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 PLEASE NOT BJERRE I guess for the sake of the GP series we're all Antonio Lindback and Puk fans for the next two GPs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 ZAGAR as a wild card at Krsko only would satisfy BSI regarding Slovenia. Don't sense any great appetite to put him back in. Lambert far too inexperienced and would do his career more harm than good. Harsh on zagar if he makes top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Has Iversen had wildcards before? Seem to remember him always around 9th/10th? Could be my memory though. Also, don't want to see Kildemand in there again, don't rate him. Pedersen is certain to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moomin man 76 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 PLEASE NOT BJERRE Hardly an asset to the GP series, but no worse than having Chris Harris in the series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Hardly an asset to the GP series, but no worse than having Chris Harris in the series.I agree, I don't want either, Harris has 0 chance of getting one though where as Bjerre is looking very likely right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Do the rules cover the situation of Lindgren being a replacement rider from outside the permanant 15 qualifying in the top 8 ?

Ghostwalker Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Do the rules cover the situation of Lindgren being a replacement rider from outside the permanant 15 qualifying in the top 8 ? No, the rules changed a few years ago and anyone that finishes top 8 will count as top 8 regardless if they are a reserve or not.

PHILIPRISING Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 OVER 300 people at the TravelPlus fans forum in Torun this morning and when posed the question should Sayfutdinov get a wild card if offered and not go through the qualifying rounds it was a unanimous yes.

Don't mind Sayfutdinov back in SGP but I don't think he should get a wild card pick from BSI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytsejam Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Don't mind Sayfutdinov back in SGP but I don't think he should get a wild card pick from BSI. Of course Emil should be given a wild card if he wants one. The GP series is supposed to be about the best riders in the World competing to be World Champion, so riders like him NEED to be in it rather than utter jokes like Harris and Bjerre!
