THE DEAN MACHINE Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, iand said: Does anyone know when the wild cards will be announced? Thought Kelvin/Nigel said it would be very soon during last nights meeting. Today around 6 , also the fixtures for next season too, if it not announced today it’s because they couldn’t decide over Pedersen or madsen Edited October 7, 2018 by THE DEAN MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for Dudek and maybe Madsen these are really really boring picks. Don't really see the point of Zagar and Vaculik.

Panthers89 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 No more Nicki P dive bombs Agree with the 3, only iffy one for me is Zagar, just yells out average to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zagar, fair enough average. Think the Danes refuse to put Madsen in the qualifiers , so it's hardly his fault he wasn't in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 No Lambert but from what I’ve heard I don’t think he’ll be too disappointed, plenty of time for him going forward to make his mark on the GP’s. Another good year next year and hopefully he will either qualify or get a wild card pick, meanwhile he has one last tilt at the World U21 and a first season in the Extraliga to concentrate on and gain experience from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They refused to put him in because he rode in the meaningless pairs(onesport) instead of doing the Danish qualifier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a riders doesn't do them then he won't get a nomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Fair calls... Vaculik, Zagar and Dudek all had injury hit seasons but showed their capability level to be in the mix for Semis and Finals... Madsen has been one of the stand out riders in the toughest league in the world for a few years now, and showed how good he is in the SEC.. Some of the old guard have been treading water a bit too long, with the odd cameo exception, therefore bringing Madsen in adds a new dynamic... Lambert I am sure will be in consideration the year next if he maintains his form.. Doing the SEC and W21 is probably enough for him at present, as is getting a team place in the Polish top division. That would bring him on quickly to the required top level I would suggest.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinMills Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 just wondered if WINNING a GP should up your chances of a wildcard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCookie Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Vaculik and Dudek name themselves, Madsen is probably the best rider not in it. Zagar? Does he have dirt on the FIM or something? Absolutely no hope of becoming world champion, the new AJ except not as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Now we will se what Madsen can do. Is he a racer or a fast starter (like Laguta). If he is a racer then he will add value, if he is a fast gater then he will be boring like Laguta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Boring picks. Wouldn’t have given Zagar a place. Just makes up the numbers. Down to having a home GP. Britain should have two. Lambert might not have set it alight but he would have done better than Cook.

As he only finished 4th when only the top 3 went through from the qualifier. Was only when Dudek finished in last years top 8 did Cook gain his place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Sad to see Nicki miss out, won't be the same without him. Glad that Zagar and Vaculik got in, but Matej's had 2 not so good years and really needs to step up next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Pedersen will be missed from a box office point of view - even though not always on the pace as before he still had people talking At some point though you have to move on to the next generation and Id say the time is right to say thank you but goodbye to Nicki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
