Ned Kelly 41 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 After sticking to the promise of their Australian Championship winner and runners-up getting to the Etihad as wild card and reserves, MA (presumably, or maybe BSI/IMG) have disregarded Troy Batchelor and Nick Morris (the next finishers in the 2017 Title series) to pick 7th placed Brady Kurtz as second reserve for the GP.

DutchGrasstrack Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Watt will replace Puk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 If Watt gets 2 points he has done better than I expect, could be worse than Bunyan. He should have refuse to take a place in this GP as he retired a few months ago Very selfish of him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbackHalifax Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 What a shocking go line up. Gotta question the point of an Aussie gp when logistics rule out Milik and a retired (Watt) and injured and being covered by a facility as we speak (Sedge) get to ride when they cannot cut it in the alleged weakest league in Europe. See Darcy repeating his comms that Chris Holder will come good next year. Look back 12months and he said same then. Not worthy of a wild card because he won 5 years ago, but sure monster Joe will sort it for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) It is the problem with a GP on the other side of the world.In fact it is the problem with any international meeting.Argentina or elsewhere.Not many people will be willing to ride at the last minute when they have little or no chance,so you end up with riders who are already there.The same has happened often enough in Russia for instance for world or european competitions.I even remember someone who didn't bother to appear for a run-off to the next round of a competition as he knew it would be tooooo far to be worth it.

Who the hell made such a ridiculous decision inside IMG? Any young Aussie would be more worthy of the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customhouseregular Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Looking more like an Australia v Rest Of The World match than a GP now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 5 Aussies and 4 Poles - over half the field from 2 countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNY Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 World Title not decided yet, Doyle looking nervy, Dudek on fire. 3 riders going for the Bronze. 8th spot still up for grabs. For the locals it'll be great to have that many Countrymen in the GP. Little bit too much doom and gloom here surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 THE danger of holding a SGP in the Southern Hemisphere at the end of the season, rather than the beginning, has manifested itself in Melbourne. Four of the 2017 starters missing through injury and two of their replacements (Fricke and Millik) unavailable as well That scenario would be most unlikely at the start of the campaign.
