Losthammer Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) Max Fricke is definitely in for the GPs. That’s great news as he’s done really well in the GPs he deputised for Greg Hancock this season. The other two are pretty dull, already in, not fresh blood. We might get to see Anders Thomsen and Pontus Aspgren, if someone is injured which will liven it up more. We definitely have the best group part from a couple like Michelsen, Bjerre who do well in the leagues. Shame Lambert got injured but I think he would still have struggled, Edited August 24, 2019 by Losthammer Added more ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only fresh blood that would have been any better is possibly Michelsen and he seemed to choke tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Wow Bjerre fell apart. Although he wouldn't have added anything to the series. He makes Hampel look exciting. Fricke will be a worthy addition. Be nice to see G. Laguta in there but not very likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) What happened in the run off with Vaculik and Fricke ? Overall result - better the devil you know. NKI and Zagar will perform better over a GP season then Asperger and Locatev Edited August 24, 2019 by OveFundinFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCookie Posted August 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Sad for Aspgren to get so close and be robbed by an engine failure. As for the qualifiers, less said the better. Thank god Fricke got through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) So if Iversen or Zagar have a storming finish and end in the top 8 ( or one of the top 8 withdraw from next season) Anders Thomsen gets the place that opened up on countback?

I don’t like Laguta’s aggressive riding, he doesn’t leave racing room, and also barges his way through regardless of the possible consequences. Like Tai getting badly hurt when Laguta left him nowhere to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Vaculik currently 4th in the GP so unlikely to have needed a GP Challenge place. Iversen and Zagar well below 8th so will probably need theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losthammer Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Should current GP riders be allowed to ride in the GP challenge? After all they’re already in it. If they’re good enough they’ll qualify. I think it robs potentially excellent additions from getting a real shot at the GPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't add anything anymore imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Well done Max Fricke, great to have some permanent new blood in. Hopefully Robert Lambert can follow suit this time next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zagar can be brilliant, but that tends to be the exception rather than the rule. Nicki would be a good addition again, he’s still doing the business in the leagues, though not as dominant it could be argued. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
