JCookie Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Not long now until one of the biggest meetings of the year, this could make or break next season's GP given the (poor) standard of the line-up. I've been able to get the following together based on posts on here, seems very little considering it's a fortnight away. Martin Vaculik Matej Zagar Niels-Kristian Iversen Craig Cook Peter Ljung Chris Harris Robert Lambert Pontus Aspgren Anders Thomsen David Bellego Mikkel Michelsen Max Fricke Martin Smolinski Kenneth Bjerre Aleksandr Loktaev Jurica Pavlic Will Lambert be fit for this? Will Harris manage to get back in? Fricke, Bjerre and Vaculik will go through for me. Edited August 5, 2019 by JCookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cj69 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Fricke/Lambert apart don't see anyone in that line up that will add anything to the GP line up. Most had their chance and surprised to see no Poles in line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 On 8/5/2019 at 10:53 AM, SPEEDY69 said: They didn't qualify Expand That was because the Polish qualifier(goldenhelmet) at Pila was called off in controversial circumstances and the PZM seeded the riders and left out the more likely to qualify- who they blamed for the cancellation.

SPEEDY69 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) They don't let their riders rule the roost! Hampel, Smektala, Wozniak, Przedpelski, Buczkowski & Niedzwiedz all rode in the qualifiers but failed to get through.

He will take the opportunity to qualify mid season, get to the end and who knows what injuries they have that prevents them scoring enough to be in the top eight. Was it Dudek that relied on a wild card to be in, due to injury. On 8/5/2019 at 12:53 PM, RPNY said: Some new young blood hopefully.

Milik and , Levbedevs for example but. Either is in the GP Challange final this year. Fricke ,Drabik, Smektala, Lambert still at least another full season away. Don’t want them in too soon and flopping ie Artum Laguta. i said it before, those young guns I mentioned can be on the mix and be a spoiler in any gp, but to do it 10 meetings in a season is tough. Look at Kolodzei this year, wins a gp then flops, and he is a mature rider. It is really tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, I can't help but think he should never have entered the qualifiers. Edited August 5, 2019 by norbold 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
