a4poster Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 During a Grand Prix do the meeting reserves points count towards the overall standings. For example, if for some strange reason a reserve ends up in the top eight of the qualifying heats (1-20) would they go into the semi-finals? If not would the 9th placed rider do so? Also, if this were to happen worth the reserve rider get the Grand Prix points? I.e, 1st, 25pts etc. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Drejer got 8 from 4 reserve rides in Vojens and went on to the semi (and final) scoring 16 GP points for finishing third Edited October 19, 2023 by arnieg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a4poster Posted October 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Thank you very much for your reply. I wasn't sure if it was possible or not. My next question then, if one of the top eight scorers after the twenty qualifying heats has had to withdraw from the meeting, would the semi-final they should be in run with a rider less (i.e, three riders only) or would the rider in ninth place be promoted to that spot. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
