Possibly because last night Katharina Anderweit was the Jury Secretary- not a name i recognise- maybe her 1st meeting doing it and she understandingly didn`t wan`t to make a mistake - Gambo might know.

I guess it's up for debate if that gets the honour of an asterix, but if it does then that's another Zmarzlik asterix win. He deserves better.

You have a route to make it to the GPS if your good enough..The old system. One off world finals was a complete Joke and rely on luck most of the time.. 4 hours ago, DazS said: yes mauger, rickardson, fundin, briggs all very lucky. I was just about to make a similar comment, Gundersen & Nielsen won 6 years in a row between them because they were lucky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does. Because the original comment that he is a generational rider could well be right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Yorker Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 Emil even though he didn't win a lot brought an excitement to the gp's that seems to be missing for me anyway. A true sportsman and a gentleman. The series also needs Laguta for his riding abilities alone. Just not the same without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was her first meeting as Secretary. She is sharing the role with Mike Poss. To come to the decision regarding 8th place you first have to trace the races where the riders met. Then you would discover that, as per the SGP Regulations (9.2 Page 22), A beat B, B beat C and C beat A. Thus bringing in the rule regarding lowest SGP number. It all takes time and you want to be sure that you have got it right! KanDysoft no longer provides FIM with Software. I agreed to step aside due to the fact that Baansport can provide a far better on-site support. They have similar software but I believe that the change in software (for Referees & Secretaries) takes a bit of getting used to, as is to be expected. KanDysoft software gave a quick look up guide to the heats, but I'm not aware as to whether the Baansport software does this. Glad to say that my own copies of SGP software (Just £12 for the whole series, and you can do a print out with the Rider names for each SGP!) gave the correct S/F line ups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchGrasstrack Posted May 1, 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 The reason of the delay was that not everyone was aware of the ranking number rule in this unique situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every Mauger you get a Muller or a szcakiel ..Of course the best riders could still win but overall a one off final is never the best way to see who is a World Champion .Gp series cuts out the luck element.

You always need a bit of luck. I'd also say it makes it a bit boring because apart from the tired old wildcards it's the same faces each time.

IainB Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Was mentioned during commentary on Saturday night that the bikes have Rev limiters set to 13,000(?)... has this always been the case? And is that being applied across Speedway? (BL?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
