You may end up with 3 riders who really shouldnt be there. Fresh life will be breathed into the competition when riders are good enough to qualify. Maybe top 4 in the Challenge go to next years GP, and only 3 wild cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billywamill 32 Posted October 6, 2019 Hancock, was fifth in 2018 and would have ridden this year but for circumstances most people with a bit of empathy would understand. But for injury in 2017, he has been in the top six since 2002, including three world titles since 2011. Think that means he adds something to the series and to insinuate he only came over to Cardiff to get his face on screen and make sure he got his wild card place is a bit low. i think a year out the sport means he’ll probably really struggle, but if there’s one rider who can overcome it, Hancock is the man and he deserves the chance.

Thanks for mentioning this, wouldn’t have known otherwise. So along we went and enjoyed some close racing with lots of passing. A couple of withdrawals during the meeting meant some races were run with three riders as there were no reserves, but overall well worth the visit. Jaimon Lidsey won the meeting with 14 points from 5 rides, beaten only by Andreas Lyger who eventually finished third following a run off with Dimitri Bergé after they finished tied on 13. Meanwhile back at Toruń the racing again was excellent. Leon Madsen’s performance was top drawer and beyond, but of course overshadowed by Bartoz Zmarzlik winning the whole shooting match. Madsen next year will take some stopping if he returns fit and remains injury free. Congratulations to Zmarzlik though who Is a worthy champion. Would like to see Sayfutdinov or Madsen win next year, and see Woffinden back to his best. As for the Greg Hancock debate, to deny him a wild card after all he has put into the sport would have been a travesty in my humble opinion. I get the young blood argument, but I’m just a sentimentalist that enjoys watching experience. Edited October 7, 2019 by Tactical Joker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,333 Posted October 6, 2019 Zmarzlik is a worthy Champion,but Madsen is the rider of the Championship for me,the number of passes he made during the series was fantastic.Wildcards will be interesting. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mothorsen 39 Posted October 8, 2019 Zmarzlik is no doubt a deserving champion. It was only a question of time with him. But my favourite was Madsen. Stunning riding and second with a two point gap to number one on his first year is nothing but impressive. My money was on Lindgren at the start of the season, but I am far from disapointed at the outcome. Too many boring rounds, though... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
