Kubera must be in with a good shout, looked good earlier in the GP's. It would mean a 4th pole but surely we want to see the best riders in the world in the GP.

I would have thought it unlikely with Zmarzlik, Janowski, Dudek and Przedpelski already in place for 2022.

It would be nice, but unfortunately for young promising Polish riders  the fact there are already 4 Poles in the series almost certainly means it won't happen

Anyone other than Mads  Doyle Lambert Vaculik Thomsen that people think have a realistic chsnce? A token Swede instead of Thomsen?

If either Robert lambert or Thomsen score really badly in Torun they may not get one. Especially Thomsen who would be quite a few points behind Lambert on the old points system. Jack Holder could be worth a go, 15th in Polish averages. 

Who picks the wildcards? is it the new organisers or FIM?

The current best rider outside the GPs is probably Janusz Kolodziej, 7th polish averages and 4th in the Gp challenge. Although can't see him getting a wildcard unless there is change in policy from the new organisers/FIM.

Yeah, on merit a couple of Poles might get them, but can't see it happening.

J Holder and Nicki P are probably the next best options, but neither has really provided a compelling case.

I'm pretty sure Lambert will get one - young, British, improving, top ten in Ekstraliga. Of the five I've suggested, I believe only Thomsen is at risk of not getting one.

If Thomson has half good meeting x2 in Torun he probably deserve another crack at it. Conversely if Lambert has to mid-low meetings then he could be in trouble, Thomson has had a podium, that means something.

It is a pity for Kubera that he comes from a country populated with good riders. If he misses a pick then he has to be the series first reserve.

Bewley not good enough yet.

I think for 2022 we got good four between the Euro champion, three from GP Challenge, add the top 6 from this year plus Madsen, Doyle, Lambert, Vaculik, Thomson .

Those 15 give a good line up, looks a lot better then 2021 looked/is.

Indeed and in Summary

In Michelsen, Dudek and Przedpelski

Out Zagar, Kasprzak and Berntzon

Lambert 10th

Bewley 27th

Thanks. That’s what I expected. Dan is about the same stage as Robert was this time last year as far as Poland is concerned, but still well behind on the international scene. 
But which one will get the nod for the SON? The home specialist or the more experienced rider?
