New Science Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Well after the rigours of the GP challenge we still have 2 Dane's to find for wild card picks. Think they will go for the safe option of Pedersen and Iversen should Nicki wish to continue. Hancock and Holder for the other 2 should they not make the top 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Well after the rigours of the GP challenge we still have 2 Dane's to find for wild card picks. Think they will go for the safe option of Pedersen and Iversen should Nicki wish to continue. Hancock and Holder for the other 2 should they not make the top 8 Why do we need 2 Danes?? I know we have 2 Swedes and now likely 2 Brits but they have qualified on merit. In my opinion none of the wild cards will be new riders to the series. Hancock and Holder as past world champions deserve at least 1 wild card Iversen is now out for the season and should get 1 as well. This leaves 1 space which will either go to Nicki P, Lindback, Zagar or Pawlicki No Dane deserves a wild card imo, but he's got 10 years on Iversen who's basically finished as a title contender. At least Jensen still has time to improve. Why is he finished as a title contender?? Hancock went 13 years between titles, and even had to go through the challenge one year...............would have been easy to say he was finished. Who would have thought Lindgren would be doing as well as he has. In the last 4 years Iversen has been 3rd , 11th (when missing the last 3 rounds) 4th and 8th. Yes this season he hasnt been as good but surely he deserves a wildcard. And MJJ??? There are 3 Danes ahead of him in Iversen, Pedersen and Kildemand. MJJ hasnt kicked on at all and should not be in a GP series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Yorker Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hasn't been much talk about the August 14 Extraleaga individual that Madsen won. In the final he finished half a straight away in front of Zmarlick, Dudek and (senior moment). I know Madsen has been a bit erratic but if he gets his s... all in the same pile he can run with the best. Maybe someone can tell me why he has no sponsors on his bike. He gets my vote for the GP.

Madsen can be one of the fastest riders around when he's in the mood, as you say who beats Zmarzlik by half a lap? Unfortunately he's very unpredictable and just as likely to come last by half a lap! Saying that, I'd still put him or MJJ in ahead of Iversen and Kildemand just for a change if nothing else, as the Danes are all much of a muchness these days. There is always the Nicki option but that would just be a 'pity pick' based on past glories, and the fact he puts bums on seats...Personally I think he's mad to carry on riding, knowing that one more crash could cause permanent damage to his arm.

New Science Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Think we will need another Swede as a wildcard to add to the 2 Danes . Have a feeling young Pawlicki will take 8th spot in the series to leave us needing 2 Danes and 1 Swede to for fill the usual quota system . Could be bad news for Holder if Hancock wants a wildcard. Imagine 5 Poles in the series proper plus 1 wildcard making 6 for the Polish rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
