phillipsr Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) Boring Sunday Morning so heres my predictions for 2023 1. Zmarzlik 2. Madsen 3. Dudek 4. Lambert 5. Lindgren 6. Magic 7. Nilsson 8. Bewley 9. Holder 10. Woffinden 11. Laguta (Under neautral flag or Polish Citzenship) 12. Sayfutdinov (Same as above) 13. Michlesen 14. Fricke 15. Vaculick 6 Wildcards as i think Madsen will beat Kolodzei in Euro’s and i think Fricke gets picked over Doyle Edited September 18, 2022 by phillipsr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a gater. He rides like Laguta did prior to 2021…..get in a tight spot and he pulls out. That’s ok if you gate and earn a living, but that’s no good for GP’s. It’s like Berntzon said to Scotty last night “GP racing is a level above league racing”. Kolodzeij is riding for his pension pot. That’s ok, but not in the GP’s please.
