Great stuff from Cookie. Having won both of his GP qualifying meetings so far this year, let's hope he can do it again in Russia!

Looking at that list and the possibility of at least 3 of those being in the GP top 8 anyway, a real chance for Cookie there.

 

Also really want him to win on Monday now as that experience in Cardiff would do him good.

Out of the line up id say dudek is almost certain for top 8, and probably one of vaculik/pawlicki as well.

Hopefully the top 3 come from any of the above who miss out on top 8, zagar cook fricke milik and pawlicki. Ideally cook zagar fricke.

Worst case scenario would be something like smoli miezinski and either of the challenge wild cards.

I would definitely think Laguta is in with a wild card. Looks like he started slow last night but his last ride could have took him through. Sadly he was injured and the other rider excluded, so that was his wc picked, and doubly so cause the final is in Russia.

Not really on top form this year judging by results I seen so would really have to improve if he was to be a worthy entrant in to the 2018 GP series.

The reserves will by the way be provided by the MFR instead of the numbers 8 from Olching/Terenzano. FIM changed this rule, just like in the semis.

I have long thought Cook, is the most underrated Speedway rider around. People over the years have not fully appreciated him, I hope now he gets the recognition he fully deserves.
