Colinspeedway Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago 4 hours ago, LagutaRacingFan said: 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. I've just been on the phone to an official source from the FIM and they say if you close down your forum account in protest then they may consider putting Laguta back in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see the GP section of this forum closed down. That would send a strong message to the FIM. It would be great if you could stop publishing your inaccurate Propaganda. The FIM as the governing body of all motorcycle sport globally does not need permission from any organisation under their banner on any matter, only compliance. (The tail does not wag the dog) Riders aligned to one of the motorcycle sports under the jurisdiction of the FIM ie MotoGP, Speedway, Trials etc need to be registered with their appropriate recognised national body under the FIM as per the ACU for speedway in the UK. Having been duly registered, no rider(s) require the permission of their national body to enter a world championship, they must however be compliant with the competition entry criteria as authorised/approved by the FIM. Thus if either or both of Emil & Artem are not included in the 2024 GP series it will be because the FIM (or initially the series promoters) do not feel it appropriate to do so.

Doyle & Michelsen as they were in the top 6 before injury. Laguta & Sayfutdinov, because they were in the top 6 before being banned. Then Madsen with Janowski or Thorsell. Madsen wasn't far behind top 6, Janowski would have been closer had he completed in more rounds & Thorsell almost qualified from the GP Challenge. I don't think age or nationality should come into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY69 Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Shame that Madsen is back in, if true, would've preferred Thorsell, he was very unlucky in the challenge (to Fricke's advantage). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from whinging a lot and occasionally clearing someone out I don’t see what Madsen offers now either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) I don't get all this anti-Madsen stuff, he's finished 2nd, 5th, 7th, 2nd, 5th & 9th (with all his "problems" this year) in the world. He's shown far more over the years than any of the other Danes Edited 5 hours ago by IainB 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) Anyone who buys a ticket for a GP is not a fan of speedway. They are a fan of politics. Emil and Artem are being politically persecuted. The same thing happened to Nelson Mandela. I thought we had moved past the idea of judging somebody on their ethnicity.

psycho3a Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Thats an awful decision... Both Kvech & Huckenbeck failed to make top 10 with a full season and didn't make top 6 in challenge finishing 9th and 13th... Thats tick boxing putting kvech and huckenbeck in rather than best riders... So now to be in worlds best 15 you just need to pick a country with poorer riders who host a GP to get a call up 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
