Hard to see him being denied labour next year for that sole reason. And if he is riding surely he must get a pick if he wants it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So at the moment Robert is in, but its a bit crowded 6th to 11th. And Martin Vaculik was top 3 until his accident, and a GP winner this year. If Dan stats tip 6 I think that supercedes the GP Challenge, so the place would go to the rider who came 4th in the challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they deserve one ahead of Vaculik, who has a first and a second this year? I agree. And the fact that there are other Aussies and Brits makes them vulnerable. But they are former world champions and Tai is still a major star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The war doesn’t look likely to end soon, so neither will any sanctions Be a minor miracle if they are back next season There's plenty of Russians still competing in other sports so they may feel it's not achieving anything if others don't do the same. Take a look at the US Open tennis line up next week. Plenty of Russians and Belarussians in it. Meanwhile Djokovic is barred because he's not vaccinated. Personally I hooe they are back next year. They are Polish citizens after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthsayer Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Just now, THE DEAN MACHINE said: I don’t mind kelvin I find it particularly irritating the way he says 'number' before he says any, erm, number. Gate NUMBER one. Heat NUMBER two. Turn NUMBER four. Even semi finals. Semi final NUMBER one. You don't need to say number, bro! All. The. F***ing time! And that's before we have the perennial 'I have to say', 'Set fair' and all the other classics. Such a limited vocabulary. It's a shame because of his co-commentator's death but he's no lead, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is talk that they will be allowed a polish licence but unlike chugunov they will have ride under a neutral flag (like they do in some other sports), I think the authorities have meeting about it in September. Whether the FIM will give them wildcards is another question, I personally think they will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric i Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Bewley is 16 points clear of 7place so that means Fricke is likely to be back in. If Russians are back in there must be huge pressure on Jason Doyle to put in big performances in the last 3 GPs, already 2 Australians in.

Last week after the Challange False Dawn seemed pretty certain if Dan stays in the top 6 then the next rider to be included would be a pick from the FIM.
