Before that 2015, Bartek & 2013 Dudek. Scoring system proves itself to be not for for purpose again, absolutely shambolic at the end. What was shambolic ? Straightforward i thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but you're, erm, special and I mean that in the nicest possible way. I do miss the "as it stands" caption in the corner of the screen. People can instantly add 3,2 & 1 to it, not 20, 18, 16 & 14! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 48 minutes ago, THE DEAN MACHINE said: He is already the best reserve in the polish extraleague and if rumours are true he is one of the highest paid too, he will get to the top if he stays injury free, world champ well that’s a one in thousand but a future GP rider and round winner I think yes He may make the GPs at some point but these young poles can suddenly find it more difficult when they are too old for the protected reserve berth. People would have said similar about Smektała, Drabik, Miśkowiak, cierniak, while these riders still have plenty of time on their side none of them look like GP riders at this moment in time. I think there has only ever been 4 riders that have gone on to win the world championship after winning the under 21's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Kelv understood and repeated what i had said this morning that if Meldrew reached the final he was World Champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatum (or Louis) didn't have a clue what was required going into the first running of the final for medal positions, they said as much and quite frankly with all their on air arithmetic neither did I. Do you think there's a reason why they don't award 20, 18, 16 & 14 for heat scores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all about a thrilling climax to every round ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes... some of them ride pretty extreme for ones so young. Dan Thompson looked like a real steady Eddy in that company, will be interesting to see which ones of this crop go on to make it to the SGP series.
