Woffinden is finished as a serious challenger for the world championship. Gating horrendous these days and then no aggression in his riding whilst also being slow!

I think we have to accept that Tai Woffinden isn't the main man anymore.

Sarcasm alert: He's not been the same since breaking his neck... can't think why...

Any idea who was higher Lambo or Vaculik? And Lindgren or Madsen?

According to TV pics Lambo and Madsen. But official SGP site the other way round. Confused now.

We'll have to wait until racers & royals logs in, he's the only one that truly knows what's going on :lol:

Cool story bro. Laughed out loud at your sarcasm. You are correct by the way. However, given he is in the series and commentators continue to shower him in adoration that in itself carries an expectation so I thought I’d just comment solely on what I seen in front of me. Would be a bit weird if every time he has a sub standard meeting we just said ‘Tai isn’t a patch on the rider he was before he broke his neck’.

Yeah, so true. R&R will find rules for sure. There might be something in the rules about riders not finishing semis due to exclusions. But not sure about it.

I would have thought there was still gate position choice still to race for and the one or both of the remaining 2 riders could have blown their engines or got injured. I thought that was the whole point of not awarding races.

There certainly is:

The 2 Riders who finish 3rd in each of the Semi Finals will be 5th and 6th in the Final Meeting Classification, with the higher ranked rider from Intermediate Classification 5th and the lower ranked rider 6th. This rule will apply if both riders complete, or fail to complete the Semi Final. If only one of these riders fail to complete the Semi Final for any reason, he will be placed 6th in the final meeting classification.
The 2 Riders who finish 4th in each of the Semi Finals will be 7th and 8th in the Final Meeting Classification, with the higher ranked rider from Intermediate Classification 7th and the lower ranked rider 8th. This rule will apply if both riders complete, or fail to complete the Semi Final. If only one of these riders fail to complete the Semi Final for any reason, he will be placed 8th in the final meeting classification.

As Lambert was excluded first he is deemed to finish 4th, Madsen 3rd in the first semi-final.
