Over the years, there have been a lot of changes made that didn't need to be (and weren't beneficial), but I certainly don't let poxy things like the "Joker" stop me from watching and enjoying racing... Just remember, these people refuse to watch, yet still claim they are "speedway fans"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fienhage is 3rd in Heat 18 Levishyn is shown as disqualified. Thanks, that disqualification of Levishyn in heat 18 explains it, why Fienhage got one more and Levishyn one less than we thought.

More than that, it was possible to become World Champion without winning a single race during the season 3) Just a reminder, using the GP system from last year, it was possible for a rider to win EVERY GP, yet not finish in the Top 8 standings at the end of the year. No system is perfect, and just because something CAN happen doesn't mean it will... 16 hours ago, tyler42 said: Again, as proved yesterday you can score seven points in a world final and still become world champion. Where under an old world final could one have scored even ten points and become world champion?? Your getting qualifying rounds confused with finals. Whatever the points scoring system surely the point of a World Championship GP series is to find out who the best rider in the world is for that year. If you accept that then surely you must choose the best mathematical points scoring system to find that rider. You could run 20 "qualifying heats" and then just draw lots afterwards to award points, that maybe the rules for that season it doesn't mean you're finding the best rider though. Am I right in thinking that riders have made a semi final with 6 points in the past? if so taking things to an extreme 8 x 6pts in each round with 2nd in each semi and last in each final means 64 points, where as 8 last place finals using the current system bags you 112 points. I'm no mathematician and this is very much back of the fag packet stuff but 112 would have got you 4th place this year where as 64 would have gotten you 10th. The powers that be need to decide if they're trying to find the best rider in the world or whether they're trying to make each GP a world final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fienhage is 3rd in Heat 18 Levishyn is shown as disqualified. I'm stil nut sure about this. There is contradicting info on the official FIM Website. Initially the meeting results for Heat 18 show Levishyn getting one point, ahead of Fienhage, and both riders finishing with a total of 5 points each. See here http://speedwayu21.com/en/news/n/234/ Then the F.I.M. official score board (on the very same website as the one above) shows Fienhage with 6 and Levishyn with 4 ! See here http://speedwayu21.com/en/results.html I am confused ! Why and when was Levishyn disqualified from heat 18 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrs Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Really pleased that Lindsey won it, he's really progressed over the last two seasons and things are looking up for the Aussies with Max making his mark on the GP series as well.
