Funny, isn't it? I spent the night listening to how Laguta is the best rider in the world right now, yet Zmarzlik has won his fourth GP in five, and increased his lead in the World Championship...

Exactly...

It's not how you get there, its whether you get there...

Ivan Mauger spent years almost picking his riding number for the "big night" by ensuring certain qualifying positions in the previous rounds..

Pressure was on tonight and the lad came through without a second glance...

World Champs are born not made and have that level that the others cannot reach...

The new points system is not doing it for me. Zmarzlik, 8 points before the semis, Laguta 14. After the final, Zmarzlik 20, Laguta 18. In two heats Zmarzlik gets 12 points, Laguta 4.

I agree the new points system isnt for me either.

I agree . I am losing a bit of interest it was for better when all the points in every race mattered.it makes the races 1/20 less important not as exciting . It was nt broken before so why try to fix.

And we miss out on Pearson telling us every point matters countless times each GP. 

So not all bad.

The points system is fine..it’s actually much better than somebody winning the meeting, stood on top of the podium and actually losing ground on a rival….that was very hard to explain to a non fan.

I think it’s worst telling a non fan someone scores 8 in the meeting then gets 20 for winning one race .the gp in my opinion as gone downhill
