tomazpozrl Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 (edited) Congratulations to the winner Miskowiak and a big well done to Rory in getting third spot Those Poles are sure hard to beat on their tracks Yeh . But we also win in Duvgaplis and gain three top places . We'll see what they can do when they meet the big boys like Bjerre, Zagar, Lindback, Lindgren ... and on neutral tracks - Wiener Neustadt and Vetlanda.

Triple D Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 rezerwowy............i guess this means hes a reserve??? if so.........why is Jamie Smith the reserve and not Legault??? well done RooBoy!!!!! Legault is the reserve not Jamie. The system was that whoever had scored more points during the meeting between the two guys who finished fourth in the semis went through as reserve. Real pain the new system as Jamie had some bad luck during the heats with engine trouble and clutch failure causing him to flip at the start in his fourth ride. With a good engine and clutch problems fixed he beat the eventual winner in his last ride and i believe he was the first non pole to beat a pole. Unfortunaly cause of his bad luck during the heats he had the outside gate in the semi due to his low score and was forced wide on the first turn. After that it was game over. Such a harsh way to go out as he, rory and the two poles looked the best riders on display but hopefully he will bounce back with a big score at hull on wednesday night.

Triple D gate positions for semifinals and the final are balloted and are not determined based on rider's points in qualifying heats. Matej Zagar scored 15 points in qualifying heats in GP qualifier in Krsko on May 8th, but had to start from gate 3 in the semifinal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were based on points scoring in the semis and on a ballot in the final. Highest scorers on the inside gates and lowest on the outside.

tomazpozrl Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 (edited) No Triple D, both semis and final are balloted. Go to FIM website and check the official rule book for U21 WC !!! Here is quote from the rule book : "Start positions will be balloted for the two Semi-finals." "The riders placed 1st and 2nd from Semi-finals 1 and 2 will have their start position balloted for the Final." And I just don't understand your explanation - how did Zagar then get gate 3 when he was the highest scorer ??? He would then start from gate 1 in the semi !

Gate positions for the semis were definately decided by points rather than a ballot system. That was what we were lead to believe although no one really knew what was going on and the people in charge were not to helpfull in passing on information. Although i am sure it was in the program about the gate positions just our polish wasnt 2 good so we didnt understand it when we originally read it.
