Hope I'm wrong but I reckon that could be spot on for Nicki

Also, Janowski at 15th but could easily win a gp

See i dont think Pawlicki will be top 8 which again highlights the strength as i can see why you put him top 3

Actually think you could pick any three riders as top 3 and make a case for it.

This is ridiculous and I cannot fathom the reasoning behind it Much prefer 1-15 for ease of identification / position in table from last season etc. Dudek 692 - Jesus wept.

Nicki is the only rider who agree`s with you, which is why last years 3 has been changed to his new ranking position of 12

Not a Nicki fan but I respect him for not getting involved in this random number nonsense.

 

Piotr Pawlicki-sponsored by 'Lucky Seven' casino. :rolleyes:

Its complete nonsense. If riders are given an opportunity they will use it in most cases. Whoever had this bright idea needs their brain testing. Riders get enough branding opportunties through sponsors, they don't need a stupid number on there back.

Dudek wanted 69 but Doyle already has that, so........ 692 it is.

 

Actually, I got used to the numbering last year. Its only like Moto GP and they been doing it for years.

I think what they're trying to do is allow the riders a bit of marketing "Branding" of themselves. I know their name is a straight forward enough brand (LOL), but a stylized version of their number becomes a very quick and visual representation of them as well. We see it over here in The States all the time. Started in Stock Car racing and has become a bit of the norm on two wheels, now, as well.

Hope ya'all don't mind a "Yankee" jumping in here with my thoughts. Some of this is based on recent performance, and some of it (admittedly so) is based on nothing more than a whim & a guess.

1.) Bartosz Zmarzlik

2.) Greg Hancock

3.) Tai Woffinden

4.) Antonio Lindback (if he can keep consistent)

5.) Jason Doyle

You identified the problem with Lindback - consistancy, or should I say lack of it. Zagar is the same - class rider when on song, but lacks consistancy.

 

Really tough to choose from 2017 line up, so good, but.....

in the mix at the top will be Sayfutdinov, Zmarzlik, Holder, and Woffinden.

 

If Woffinden can win it in 2017 it will mean more then the other two he got.
