eric i Posted yesterday at 09:00 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:00 PM While I think the Russians should be allowed to compete under a neutral flag I can't see the FIM changing their mind. Bartosz Zmarzlik Robert Lambert Fredrik Lindgren Martin Vaculik Dan Bewley Jack Holder Mikkel Michelsen (Wildcard) Dominik Kubera (Wildcard) Leon Madsen (Wildcard) Andzejs Lebedevs (Euro champ) Jason Doyle (Wildcard) The Last 4 from the challenge, if Kubera qualifies from challenge and Fricke doesn't, Fricke will get his wildcard pick.

LagutaRacingFan Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) You're wrong about the Russians. Eurosport have told the FIM that they are not happy with the viewing figures. The lack of title race has led to a sharp decline in viewership across Europe. The FIM reached out to Emil & Artem a few weeks ago and an agreement has been reached.

Don't want to see Madsen anywhere near the series in 25, he's done at this level now. I'd prefer youth brought in. I'd like to see a mix up next year, bring in some kids.

Daniel Smith Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago 55 minutes ago, racers and royals said: What !! This is the World Championship not some benevolent society. It's turning in to a benevolent society when grandad rider's with no chance of title challenges keep getting wildcard picks. Why not give youth an opportunity to build up their standards rather than constantly declining the standard. There has to be a way of bringing youth through & the GP Challenge is flawed in that the qualification standard & tracks used are poor. I absolutely believe the best rider's should be in the SGP, absolutely, but rider's like Woffinden, Madsen & Doyle need leaving out to further develop the series & find challengers to Zmarzlik.

There are only two realistic challengers to Zmarzlik, and neither are in it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An argument for SGP2 winner could possibly be made. That would leave 3 wildcards, most likely 7th. and 8th. from previous year and one worthy pick. Personally I would prefer a regular field of 16, not 15, no one-off wildcards for each venue. That way I you have 4 permanent wildcards.

Daniel Smith Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago It's just an idea, how bad of me 😂 Looks like everyone would fit in well with the BSPL model of Speedway 😬 For me, the SGP desperately needs a freshening up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the "best", then Doyle certainly should be there. Or was that just a fluke the way he started the season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was that just a fluke the way he started the season? At the time of his injury, Doyle was third with 47 points, only just behind Holder on 48 and Zmarzlik on 50. If you rule Doyle out, I guess that means ruling out everyone else below him. So 13 new riders needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be Michelson surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
