MARK246 Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Why was King picked to do a round? Complete waste of time and has probably had 8 goes at the qualifiers over the years and been crap every year. Knowing British speedway, it wouldn't surprise if King was picked over Lambert. As Danny King is the current British Champion, he is the obvious choice for a place. There were 15 other riders that had the chance to win and claim a qualification place.

Chris Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 No he's not the obvious choice. He's had plenty of previous goes and done nothing. The lad can't ride foreign tracks, pointless sending him. Lambert has a chance in the future, he should have been used over someone who won one meeting on a rain soaked track. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the British speedway champion isn't the obvious choice for a qualification spot, fair enough. Perhaps the best thing to do is select the the top averaged British rider over the season, top two Craig Cook and Danny King. Maybe the best thing for the ACU track racing committee is to use Mystic Meg to select in future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been drafted into the British Final as well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think from memory it is for FIM events so guess no Huckenbeck for Lynn on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers89 Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 You have to question the race offs there, whoever ended up picking last ended up with the death gate (white). Few surprises there but apart from Pawlicki and Vaculik, none of those are GP quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Madsen is second in the Polish averages. Whether he's coming of age or simply having a great season remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPHEN 333 Posted June 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Bjerre should qualify for the Final, cannot see Vaculik and maybe Pawlicki finishing outside the top eight in the GP's, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
