So I could imagine Nicki is in line for a wc if he fails to make it.Iversen will probably be a flop yet again and a not too popular flop at that,so Denmark and BSI need Nicki Expand Iversen is slowly getting there and i believe he can still be a top eight rider he still wants it and can still mix it at the top level.

Much better options out there. Expand Who? do you just go on Wimborne Rd appearances? you must do he is knocking on the door now with Lambert and Jack Holder is another who is not far behind.Holder and Fricke are quite a way in front of Kurtz now and if Fricke can get consistently he will make the series the ability is there for all of us ( except you) to see.

Steve Shovlar Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I would put Milik, Jack Holder and Lambert before Fricke. I could well be wrong but don’t think Fricke is going to make the big step up. Guess we will know in the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woofers Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Am I alone in thinking that Zmarzlik is a throttle jockey and isn't really in control of his bike? I agree that he is very fast and has a lot of bravery in riding high and wide, but I'm not sure he has the all round skill levels that the commentators were on about. He gives the impression of having an 'on/off' or 'stop/go' switch rather than throttle control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he does tend to get himself in a muddle when he misses the start, as was the case on Saturday..He goes too fast for his brain to keep up! He's like a young Zenon Plech who seemed to be out of control most of the time in his early years, but he calmed down (a bit) as I'm sure the Bart-man will.

For Denmark, we have a qualified rider in Iversen. As for Nicki, I'd think that he would be considered for a wild card if he finishes 9th but not if he finishes 10th or worse. It depends on how much FIM/BSI feel that they need two danes. I personally hope that Nicki finished top 8 but I don't think he will. Both Nicki and Greg received wild cards for this season and I am not fond of giving out wild cards to the same riders two years in a row. Expand I think it will be 3 in/3 out, unless there is a voluntary withdrawal in which case BSI will be tempted to invite Lambert. Along with Pawlicki and Cook, I think that Holder is likely to make up the three departures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand No, there have been quite a few incidents with aggressive pit crews, eg Sayfutdinov, Holder, Masters to just three. If riders want some handbags, then let them get on with it, but third parties have no right to get involved. Do that in any other sport and you are in hot water, and rightly so.
