Best of luck to Adam if he rides, love to see him breakthrough and give some of the more fancied riders a real shock . Be brilliant to qualify as a bonus to add to his British title.

If he does qualify that means he is in all the GPs next year. Would he sustain a very high standard in all the rounds, or would he be fighting to be clear of no15 spot.ie like Berntzon and KK this year.

It would be a brilliant experience for Adam if he got in the GPS and a big challenge machinery and set up wise.But he could take it as a learning curve try to enjoy it and he could surprise .It is great we have another Brit in the mix hope to see him again at Swindon in 2022? pigs might fly !!!! as Fraser said we are DOOMED.

Adam has made valuable steady progress over the last two or three years and whilst the GPs would be a baptism of fire, all GP riders have to start somewhere. Maybe next year might be a year too soon , but I believe he has the talent to expand his already considerable European experience and develop further. Obviously sponsorship and making the correct calls mechanically are vital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 When I said would Adam "sustain a very high standard in all the rounds" I was including in that statement his riding ability, his sponsorship package, his fitness, his machinery, his mental fitness, mechanics.......the whole package. In the line up for tomorrow, there is a few that I could see giving it a good go and ruffle a few feathers in the gp's, whether they would sustain it for a full year. If 3 good ones get the GP next year, thats fine, but its not always the case and a full GP season (hopefully 2022) is a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this stage in his career I don't think it will be a disaster if he doesn't qualify, but I hope he'll be having a serious shot at the SEC next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping he does well, but remember it was this meeting a year ago when he was taken out from behind which resulted in 3 fractured vertebrae and a couple of months in a back support.

IronScorpion Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Best of luck to Adam on Saturday. It was nice to see him get it together on Friday showing us what he could do at the EWR & seeing his performance at the NSS in the British Final, awesome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technik Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 The toughest event in World Speedway, Every point counts, A single bad ride & it could all be over. A fantastic advert for speedway but I feel at least the top 5 of these should be allowed to qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SEC is better producing worthy GP contestants at the moment and that competition only has the winner going through. Putting the Challenge top 5 through would be ridiculous IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he win a GP that year? Much better than Lindback & Kasprzak! He was 5th in Ekstraliga averages this season when I last checked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 5th in Ekstraliga averages this season when I last checked. He did, but that is what I meant by you didn’t know which Kolodzeiz turned up. Too many meetings he only scored a few points. Just like KK and Lindback, fantastic to watch when they are riding well, really fantastic, but so often they just not turned on. Throw statistics all day, but in speedway go you got to nail it meeting after meeting. They is where the GP series is different to the days of one off finals (and I loved them too). The machine and the man has to be on top to last a multi GP season, and that takes some doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 I wouldn`t write off Chris Holders chances - he has some quick engines at the moment. Zarnovica have announced this morning that a deal has been done for Polish fans to watch on Eleven Sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
