Wee Eck Posted Saturday at 05:02 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:02 PM I’ve just been called by a usually reliable source who has said Laguta and Sayfutdinov both said it would be unfair for them to be seeded back into the GPs so they are looking to get a slot in the GP Challenge qualifiers. Meanwhile, WBD contacted Hancock to see if he would consider a return as they need a USA representative. He declined but suggested another American. So the wildcards will be Blodorn (because they want a German) Tai because of the Monster connection, Berge because of the French Eurosport connection and Manzares. But, like LagutaRacingFan, I might have just been listening to the voices in my head. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only beaten by the wally in the headset. I wonder what they have in common?…. most sensible people recognise that hes good enough to be included in what should be the best fifteen riders in the world its not a popularity contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted Saturday at 09:07 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 09:07 PM Let’s say Doyle didn’t make another semi final which was unlikely given his form at the time of unjury and only got 8points from the remaining GPs he would of still made the top 6 on 111 points, I think that should guarantee his wild card spot, same goes for Michellesen and the other 2 are laguta and sayfutinov, only really madsen who could feel hard done too, woffy shouldn’t even get a sniff, his GP form this year from 6rounds were dreadful 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s dangerous on the track, doesn’t have a chance to win the world champs realistically so don’t understand the clamour. 8 hours ago, Bojangles said: Neither do any of the other 14 to be fair - maybe they shouldn't bother.

szkocjasid Posted Saturday at 10:10 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 10:10 PM (edited) What if there were guidelines for the reserve rider selections? Basing it off achievements rather than age / nationality / sponsor etc. For example reserve riders would be: highest Extraliga average (Laguta / Kolodziej) next in line from qualifiers (Thorsell) next in line in GPs (Huckenbeck) Top scorer in SON (Huckenbeck) SGP2 winner (Przyjemski) next in line from SEC (Woryna) Obviously Huckenbeck, wasn't the top scorer in the SON, but everyone above him is already in the GPs.

KIRKYLANE Posted yesterday at 01:51 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:51 PM Now the SGP challenge is over expect announcements within one week Hopefully they give some younger riders a chance rather than riders who are passed their sell by date like Tai Woffinden for example.

E0F0 Posted yesterday at 06:10 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:10 PM Haha. I do like the idea of SGP 2004 without Coalition Nations. Only 7 of 24 full time riders left. From a grand total of 3 nations. Sweden, Czech Republic, and Finland. Including number 19-22. Tony Rickardsson beating Andreas Jonsson in Prague and Krško.

Gavan Posted yesterday at 06:24 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:24 PM Idiots on here saying Doyle shouldn’t be in lol Won a round and cane second in another before injury Then I read some moron saying he isn’t likely to be world champion!!! As statements go that’s pretty hilarious as I would say the only only likely world champions this season would be the top 5 from this season Does that clown think Fricke Kurtz Thomsen Kubera have more chance then Doyle lol ….. I certainly don’t think Doyle will win it but with no Emil or Laguta is he in the top 15 in the world …. Yes quite easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted yesterday at 06:43 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:43 PM (edited) Kai Huckenbeck Jan Kvech Mikkel Michelsen Jason Doyle Those are your 4 wild cards. Official announcement is tomorrow. The FIM wanted to nominate Emil and Artem, but this was blocked by the PZM. Emil and Artem would have to ride under the Polish flag as FIM rules do not allow neutral athletes. Speedway fans need to boycott the GP series. I would love to see the GP section of this forum closed down. That would send a strong message to the FIM.

Love you, Gumbo......😀 There's a real possibility that next years SGP series could have the greatest line up we've seen so far (in its current guise)......... I wish there were 5 WC choices available ha...... but will 'politics' play a part? Disclosure, my ideal choices would be Doyle, Michelsen, Laguta, Sayfutdinov...... However, that would only put 2 official Poles in the series..... would Poland accept that? Does Thomsen getting in, mean only 1 of Michelsen / Madsen get in? Does the fact there are 3 Aussies in, mean Doyle may not get in? Will there be a German / Czech (or both?) be put in for appeasement? I hope my 4 get in (and I wouldn't cry too much if Madsen got in over Michelsen)....... But I fear 'people pleasing' will stop this...... Cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already agreed to host next year's GPs, so what if they only have 2 full time riders? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
