Warsaw 2019


Recommended Posts

The most enjoyable part was the jostling for a good starting number after the qualifying times were listed. It was interesting for the purist who enjoys riding styles and it was only a little less of an on-track boring spectacle than the average whole match in the PL. Also, it lasted a lot less time than they do and so retained it's interest better I thought.

Clearly, the first rider out ( Doyle ) and the first out after the grading ( Zagar ) do have an advantage, however minimal. The time differences were minimal anyway and I bet the three who will take pot luck are not last after the GP is finished. Zagar showed his intelligence by sussing out what you really had to do and smashed it on his single lap.

Do you think it would be better setting times over 4 laps from the tapes? 

Draw of riders dependent on current sgp position ? 

To be honest no as the first lap going from a standing start will be worthless. Maybe the riders could have one sighting lap then their minute could start but I thought last nights first attempt at qualification was a success, possibly they could look at sending out riders in batches of four then do a track grade rather than sending out half the field then track grade then the other half as there seemed to be an advantage to those going out early, Doyle and Zagar for example.

Sorry perhaps I wasn't very clear. I meant a timed 4 laps (same as race) so at Warsaw something around 56 seconds.

Two good ideas there. Especially if the order is reverse to current standing i.e. leader goes last.
