Forget box office etc, on ability/scoring potential alone,should Nicki be in next year? Was very unlucky with that early injury, he'd started the season like a steam train in Poland. Not my favorite rider but cant help but think the series is better with him in it. The series is 100% better with Pedersen. He won a GP two rounds ago so he's more competitive than someone like Sayfutinov who is riding poorly. Emil needs 15 points to over haul Dudek but on current form he won't manage that. Last four GP's he's scored 8 6 3 and 5 Zagar needs 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNY Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I hear you. Very Odd with Emil. I thought he was going to walk it as soon as he was back in the GPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might we get no new riders in as WCs next season? Dont think it adds a headache at all. If he needs it he is nailed on for a wildcard. As are Doyle and Emil.

Imo the current top 10 will all be back next year and 2 from..... N.Pedersen M.Vaculik R.Lambet L.Madsen I think Lambet will be a GP rider in the future but next year maybe too soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 It is difficult to make a case for Madsen over Pedersen for a Wildcard. As it stands I'd say the current top 11 + Vaculik and the 3 qualifiers will be there next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedersen and Vaculik have won a GP to prove they are very much in the mix. When you have the best 12 someone still has to finish near or at the bottom of that 12. This does not mean a rider should be replaced. If Pedersen had not broken his hand early in the season he would have got the points to be top 8. Same for Vaculik as when fit he scores very well.
