waiheke1 Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 OMG. It just hit me. There's actually no rider really good on the market who could actually add to the series. A sign of stagnation in speedway?No a sign that next years line up is really good.Kk and g Laguta could possibly improve the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipsr Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Greg Laguta on his day is better than Zagar by a long chalk does he show it anough probably not. Hes never proved that Zagar is now and always has been a better rider. Arguably not as exciting but better none the less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Who is Britains nominated rider/riders , Craig Cook mentioned names on Friday night but i did not hear properly, he didnt seem too happy that he was not nominated. Sadly it appears our lack of success in recent years has resulted in a reduced number of qualifying places given to GB. all I can find is 1 spot in Lonigo. No places in the Zarnovica or Abensberg rounds with only the Esbjerg qualifier to be published.So max 2 or 3 I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 1 in Esbjerg. ACU requested 6 spots by the way. Funny that the Czechs requested 6 and got 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f-s-p Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 USA have probably more !!!! AMA got the one they wanted. It is kind of weird that GB only got 2... I know I'm in no position to brag about our riders quality/quantity, but I do think that 6 riders is a bit much for GB. Still do after checking your champs final results from last year.

KN1 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) castagna the problem, for sure. apparently due to us not running an u21 rd/qu castagna has penalised us. AMA got the one they wanted. It is kind of weird that GB only got 2... I know I'm in no position to brag about our riders quality/quantity, but I do think that 6 riders is a bit much for GB. Still do after checking your champs final results from last year. why is 6 too much to ask when the swedes ask for 8, Germany 5, Czech 6, Italy 4 etc Edited March 20, 2017 by KN1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) Think we should give the FIM only a fraction of the free tickets they want for Cardiff Ok we don't hand them out Edited March 20, 2017 by iris123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
