No this is from the SGP website With this year’s SGP qualifying rounds cancelled due to Covid-19, national federations have been asked to nominate riders for the GP Challenge, with the FIM set to confirm the final line-up. Certainties Poland, Sweden, Denmark ,GB, Russia, Czech Rep, Australia, Germany plus 7 others.

HenryW Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) You can probably add Italy to the list. Armando wouldn't allow them to be left out, surely. Edit - To add, last years final also had representatives in it from Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine and France. One would hope they would all be invited to provide a rider.

erinil1 Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Wouldnt the following be reasonable Croatia Poland Sweden Denmark GB Russia Czech Republic Australia Germany Italty Slovakia Slovenia Ukraine France Latvia Finland My country nr 10-16 if I would guess based on which countries that have rider(s) with atleast a (slim) theoretical chance of qualifiying for the SGP and the info provided above. Tbh with country 10-16 we would probably cover most countries were their is atleast one decent rider (or better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Obviously Robert Lambert is a certainty for the GB slot, however if he wins the SEC on Wednesday i should imagine someone else will be picked. Whoever it is won’t have done much riding before going to Gorican !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
