Uluru Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Only three Aussies? Not good enough, you'd think we hadn't had three different World Champs since the millennium. I guess I can accept six Poles, Swedes and Danes and even five Brits......... Who will those five Brits be, though -- top five in Brit Final, or some sly seeding for the favoured ones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Aussies have one thing against them: Australia, on the other side of the world. This has been done before, but the fact is that a new (a fact that defines things) has been set and that is about the meetings any country hosts. Because there is a lack of organisers for quali meetings since nobody wants to see them and they cost the organiser money. U21 qualification is a good example, ten years ago it was 5 qualis, two semis and a final. Now its 3 semis. FIM has stopped publishing the number of allocation requests, but the last time I had that info I remember that the number of applications was still there, but with no meeting organisers what can the FIM do? For example, ACU will host U21 team final and a GP quali. I bet they both end up costing money for the organizer. The word was factor.

DutchGrasstrack Posted November 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Yes this is changed. No more wildcards, unless a Croatian rider failed to qualify (which is likely). Then only 3 from Abensberg. Pavlic will start in Abensberg, so he will have 2 chances to qualify for GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uluru Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Top five in British Final? Lambert, Bewley, Cook, Garrity & Nicholls. From the qualifying heats, it was Lambert, Cook, Bewley & Garrity (3rd equal) then Nicholls & Howarth (5th equal). Harris was 9th, Ellis 13th.

RPNY Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 The whole concept of a WildCard at the GP Challenge when there are so few qualifying spots is about as unfair as it gets in sport! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudtobeaBrummie Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 If Robert Lambert ended up appearing in every gp or almost all of them this year and was too finish in the top 8 would he then be guaranteed a permanent place in 2020 ? even though technically he was not a permanent 2019 rider .
