Jonimac Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Was have a post GP analysis with my dear old dad the other night, and we both reckoned that Zmarzlik’s bikes seem to get faster as each GP meeting progresses. Almost seems to pull away from the field later on in the meeting. Clearly each rider is trying to “dial in” to the track but he does look to have quite a talent in getting the bike going. Clearly his ability on a bike and his bravery helps a lot too. What’s his secret? Or feel free to tell that it’s just my imagination Edited October 3, 2023 by Jonimac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bee Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 I think he plans what he needs to do to get to the semi finals and then it steps it up a gear. He's the complete package. He'll go on, I hope, to break all the records. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with CR, had Zmarzlik been in the Crump, Pedersen, Gollob, Rickardsson era he'd have been eating much much more plywood. Absolutely nobody want to ride him to the fence when he goes round them. When he dive bombs, nobody tactically jumps off their bike.

If a leaf blew up the inside of Laguta he would move over. Fast gater, fast bike doesn’t always make a good racer. Emil, though is a different kettle of fish. Jack Holder is one that won’t budge for him. Not keen on Jack, but he is the one of the three youngsters that can stand up to BZ.

Never said it's Zmarzlik's fault did I? It's the fault of the rest of the field. SGP has become to soft. I'd be riding him to the fence but it just doesn't happen much, if at all anymore at this level. Even in the Ekstraliga Zmarzlik is heavily protected. I desperately want to see a peak Nicki Pedersen type rider back in the series but there's nobody out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking someone to the airfence doesn't require contact, just take the space away, but to a point yes, it's always added to the sport throughout it's history. Of course, nobody WANT serious injuries but it's part & parcel of this game. Hard but fair should always be in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Lindgren is the closest thing to Pedersen. Doyle is extremely ruthless and hard charging but not in Pedersens mould. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
