eric i Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 What happens if two riders finish on the same points? Is there a race off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monarchs2468 Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Happy for Laguta but how is he so far in front? I understand certain aspects of the set ups and he's a superb gater, but how can he be so far ahead after just one lap like tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 For all those moaning about the tracks in 2021( i thought last night`s was OK) i suggest you have a think about what was announced at the Discovery press conference yesterday. From 2022 onwards practice and QUALIFYING will be on RACE DAY starting at 1pm local- that means for 2 hours the track will get hammered for the equivalent of at least 1 meeting i estimate. The track staff will then only have 4 hours to get the track right for the main event in the evening !!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin bass Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Like many others prefer the old style scoring system but been having a quick count up using the old way of scoring where every ride counts and if my maths are right its summit like this, Artem 170/178, Bart 158/169, Emil 113/131, Freddie 110/122. First figure being every race counts, so the top 4 doesn't change, but still prefer old way of scoring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if the tracks are better, let’s be honest they couldn’t be any worse than the gate and go dross we have seen this year. I have been to Torun for. a GP and it was really good, last nights was very poor in comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As tracks haven’t started working until 2/3rds into a meeting, this could be a very good thing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Looks like it's all over, can't see Zmarzlik making up 9 points on Laguta for 1st. Lindgren making up 9 points on Sayfutdinov for 3rd or Madsen making up 16 points on Woffinden for 6th. Didn't think the racing was bad last night, watched 10 heats before going to the pub and the rest when I got back, but not as good as some Ekstraliga meetings I've watched from Torun this year. Can't understand why the FIM people take over track preparation/grading/watering, just let the guys that do it week in week out for the league meetings look after it, they clearly know it better. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on on the track prep. I’ve not yet had time to go through all the changes that will restore all the glory of the sport, but track prep will be a major disaster me thinks.

Forget the old scoring system, even a fifteen point max for Laguta will mean nothing as long as Zmarzlik also makes the semis, even with only seven or eight points. It now depends on just one race for Laguta, his semi-final. That is the only race that is really important for him. If Laguta finishes first, second, or even only third in his semi-final he is World Champion, but if he fails in this race, Zmarzlik has the chance to make up the nine point deficit with a win in the final. The first twenty heats tonight are only a warm up for the world title contenders, since neither of them will have any problems to qualify for the semi-finals (only eight or nine points needed to do that). They are well adviced not to take any unneccessary risks in the qualifying heats. For them this meeting only really starts with heat 21.

Laguta can still be classified in 6th place by finishing 3rd in a semi final, depends on how many he scored in comparison to the other 3rd placed semi finalist. A win by Zmarzlik would then put them level. Edited October 2, 2021 by Hilly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laguta under 13 (20 heats) at Evens with BET 365 looks a sporting bet to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Let's not also forget that this is speedway. Laguta could end up in the fence. Nothing is certain until it's over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into tonight, old way AL 169, BZ 158, ES 115, FL 103. MJ 102, TW 107. AL has done 69 races and won 45 of them, BZ 67 races 36 wins, then the nearest is woofy on 20 race wins. Biggest gainFL 19pts ES 16pts. Edited October 2, 2021 by Ajr 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Just been catching on yesterday's Grand Prix. What was the result of Heat 15 last night? I could swear that Thomsen finished 3rd, but SGP website has given it to Magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
