Gp Challenge

Recommended Posts

Was really looking forward to this meeting but following the demise of Zagar, Pedersen, Schlein and Lindback I am not sure whether I will bother now, as SCB has already stated all 4 would have been in with a great chance of qualifying at Brandon :angry: .

 

Thats is the beauty of the qualication system. Whoever does qualify will do so on merit and therefore good luck to them

Perhaps its finally sinking in with some peple that Bjarne hasn't been manipulating his average at all this season and has dropped by a two point standard.

 

He has never got close to the form of recent seasons this year and being dumped out of the semi final was totally predictable. A shame that Lindback and Zagar went the same way though.

 

Write off Adrian Meidzinski at your peril. The lad has come on leaps and bounds and could easily qualify over soeone like Holder who has never really mastered the Brandon track.

 

Harris ( extremely unfortunately, doesn't deserve a berth) and Lindgren are nailed on. If walasek has his gating boots on he could easily make it, as could Bjerre.

JD is the dark horse here, he's always a far better rider when riding for himself, or for his country.

League Averages @ Brandon with Bonus Points (without Bonus Points)

 

Kenneth Bjerre 7.14 (6.71)

Grzegorz Walasek 5.60 (5.40)

Jonas Davidsson 4.31 (3.84)

Kauko Nieminen 6.40 (6.40)

Chris Harris 8.21 (7.31)

Lukas Dryml 5.30 (4.87)

Magnus Zetterström 5.84 (5.14)

Dave Watt 6.21 (5.42)

Jurica Pavlic 6.50 (6.00)

Jarosław Hampel 6.91 (6.42)

Fredrik Lindgren 7.48 (6.90)

Maksim Bogdanow debut

Chris Holder 8.00 (7.14)

Adrian Miedziński 5.78 (5.78)

Piotr Protasiewicz 7.13 (6.78)

Martin Smolinski 6.66 (5.60)

 

For me a top-3 of Lindgren, Bjerre and Davidsson if the latter brings his World Cup Brandon form with him, with Harris, Hampel, Holder and Zetterstrom in double figures.

 

Cheers

BK

And why did these riders have a divine right to be at Brandon? They didn't quality - 16 other riders did. Simple as that.

 

It's about the time the same happened to the GP, with no seeded riders. Would stop the dull closed shop. The Russian have stirred things up to a certain extent, but otherwise it's the same old same old in the GP.

 

All the best

It`s someting to ponder on , what if by the time this meeting comes around freddie is a cert for a top 8 finish dosen`t it seem a little unfair even though he probably deservers to ride at coventry that someone could`ve had the opportunity to ride alas making this a 15 man field rather than a 16 man field in theory??????

T. Kroner should be his replacement as Lindback was at the Motala semi not Daugavpils

Why sadly? Wouldnt you LOVE to see the Zorro in the gps? :blink::lol:

no because he would be like the drymls or karlssons and do all the hard work and get there by riding well then do absolute nothing in each round

I find it hard to agree with you Rob, you know that, but your first line is spot on.

This divine right to be anywhere should be taken away from them all except the defending world champion.

Is it not feasible to get all the qualifiers out of the way by the end of May and then run the GP's every other week thereafter?

It's called qualification for a reason dopey!

So if you qualify you deserve the place :rolleyes:

At least with a line-up minus true world class, should mean a chance of riders all beating each other....could be one of those meetings where 11 or 12 points wins it.

 

Could actually turn out to be a cracker
