GP Top 5 name the riders


Recommended Posts

Think zmarzlik madsen Emil are favourites for top three

laguta and vaculik are good gaters so should be pushing for top five . Think doyle will also be in there he can mix it at the 1st bend. 

dudek could spring a surprise seems to have hit a bit of form in his last two meetings 

woffy will definitely have to raise his game if he's going to be anywhere near the top five 

with 6 of the 8 rounds in Poland and the way he's going at he moment I think only an injury will stop smarzlik

You named 8 riders not 5.     I should have made the question easier.

You say that, but it also means that a quarter of the rounds are in Prague...and Zmarzlik's results there have been less than impressive the last few years.

In the last 3 years he has failed to make the semis, with 9th in 2019 and 2017 and 15th in 2018.

With the revised points scoring system, if he fails to make the semis in a quarter of the GPs he'll have an uphill battle to retain his title.

Obviously, the fact that he DOES have a very good record at the other 3 tracks means that he could still potentially cover a bad couple of rounds in Prague, but it's by no means guaranteed if others can string results together.

I'll need to have a think about my own picks for top 5 :D

I think Zmarzlik is one of the reasons they've changed the scoring system, simply because he's so fast & wins most of his heats. 

Hate the new scoring system but what it does do is see which riders handle being under pressure the best in the semi & final.

I think Tai needs to up his game and be more positive, watching polish racing he is quick but seems to ride mid track and doesnt look like passing.. If he gets his racing head on will be in the mix for sure.

It’s difficult to figure Woffy out these days, he is obviously still a top man, but he is not gating or performing his 1st bend manoeuvres of old,but the other Night when he got to the front 1st lap he broke the track record.Definately a contender if he sorts his gating problems out.IMO
