Cheers, in that case, I can't argue with the wild card pick.

Seems unfair on Blodorn who missed the German Championship because it clashed with the SEC. [And why does Grobauer get second reserve when he finished below Celina in the German Championship?

Blödorn had the wild card at Landshut last year.

Riss, Wölbert and Grobauer all ride for the Landshut Devils.

By the way, Grobauer only had bad luck in last year's German Final, otherwise he would never have finished below Celina in the results. Grobauer had to retire from the meeting after his fourth outing, having blown an engine in his second ride (when he was leading Riss for nearly three laps) and shedding a chain in his fourth ride. Grobauer scored five points from only two completed rides, and was in the class of Riss and Wolbert, while Celina scored seven points from five rides and was never in the hunt for a top position.

From the Speedway GP website

  • At 2025 rounds in Landshut, Warsaw, Manchester (R4 Friday), Gorzow and Wroclaw, the riders who record the fastest lap time in their Q2 head-to-head advance to a four-rider sprint race.
  • The winner of the sprint race earns four Speedway GP World Championship points, with three for the rider in second, two for third and one for fourth place. The sprint race winner will also earn first choice of starting positions for the evening’s SGP event, with the second, third and fourth-placed riders next to select.
  • There will be no sprint races at the events in Prague, Manchester (R5  Saturday), Malilla, Riga and Vojens due to these four venues staging racing on Friday evening. 
  • There will be no qualifying session ahead of Saturday's R5 in Manchester. For the other four, the Qualifying session will culminate in Q3, with all four riders taking to the track at the same time for 60 seconds, bidding to set the fastest lap time.

German GP is live on TNT Sports 2 - programme comes on air at 5.30pm with 1st race at 6pm

We will have a wait a few days before we can find out how we can watch qualifying/sprint race.

For Virgin Media customers that should read "If"

Think I will just watch and see what happens rather than trying to understand the rules.

Going to this one. Do you know if spectators are allowed in for the sprint race?

99.99% certain they are- presumably tickets holders only, or a purchase of separate ticket. You could find a contact email for Landshut and ask them- most clubs are helpful.

So someone could get an extra 20 points which could help them win the GPs, because of a sprint race, what a farce
