THE DEAN MACHINE 4,727 Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, iand said: Does anyone know when the wild cards will be announced? Thought Kelvin/Nigel said it would be very soon during last nights meeting. Today around 6 , also the fixtures for next season too, if it not announced today it’s because they couldn’t decide over Pedersen or madsen Edited October 7, 2018 by THE DEAN MACHINE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Except for Dudek and maybe Madsen these are really really boring picks. Don't really see the point of Zagar and Vaculik.

Panthers89 1,922 Posted October 7, 2018 No more Nicki P dive bombs Agree with the 3, only iffy one for me is Zagar, just yells out average to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zagar, fair enough average. Think the Danes refuse to put Madsen in the qualifiers , so it's hardly his fault he wasn't in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,750 Posted October 7, 2018 No Lambert but from what I’ve heard I don’t think he’ll be too disappointed, plenty of time for him going forward to make his mark on the GP’s. Another good year next year and hopefully he will either qualify or get a wild card pick, meanwhile he has one last tilt at the World U21 and a first season in the Extraliga to concentrate on and gain experience from. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They refused to put him in because he rode in the meaningless pairs(onesport) instead of doing the Danish qualifier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think the Danes refuse to put Madsen in the qualifiers , so it's hardly his fault he wasn't in them. In Denmark the qualifiers are based on Danish qualifying meetings. If a riders doesn't do them then he won't get a nomination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,226 Posted October 7, 2018 Fair calls... Vaculik, Zagar and Dudek all had injury hit seasons but showed their capability level to be in the mix for Semis and Finals... Madsen has been one of the stand out riders in the toughest league in the world for a few years now, and showed how good he is in the SEC.. Some of the old guard have been treading water a bit too long, with the odd cameo exception, therefore bringing Madsen in adds a new dynamic... Lambert I am sure will be in consideration the year next if he maintains his form.. Doing the SEC and W21 is probably enough for him at present, as is getting a team place in the Polish top division. That would bring him on quickly to the required top level I would suggest.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCookie 753 Posted October 7, 2018 Vaculik and Dudek name themselves, Madsen is probably the best rider not in it. Zagar? Does he have dirt on the FIM or something? Absolutely no hope of becoming world champion, the new AJ except not as good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,136 Posted October 7, 2018 Now we will se what Madsen can do. Is he a racer or a fast starter (like Laguta). If he is a racer then he will add value, if he is a fast gater then he will be boring like Laguta. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Boring picks. Wouldn’t have given Zagar a place. Just makes up the numbers. Down to having a home GP. Britain should have two. Lambert might not have set it alight but he would have done better than Cook. Edited October 7, 2018 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
