I had written him off and thought he was hardly doing anything. Having an Indian summer in his career or has he got s dodgy engine from somewhere? Two brand new ones exactly a year ago. He's been flying since. Not necessarily dodgy but brand new. Like he said he felt the difference and after a couple of good performances his confidence sky rocketed. Good for him, he's been struggling or almost making it for 15 years now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the SEC website Five spots in SEC 2019 are alredy reserved for Leon Madsen, Jarosław Hampel, Robert Lambert, Mikkel Michelsen and Antonio Lindbaeck (TOP 5 of 2018). Next five are secured for SEC Challenge's top. Last spots will go to permanent "wild cards" and a single "wild card" for each round. Edit therefore 5 wildcards(can`t be GP riders) Nicki Pedersen is a cert to get one. Edited May 13, 2019 by racers and royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes all the 4 finals are on Eurosport- it remains to be seen however if the whole meetings will be seen on British Eurosport as they have plenty of other live sports they cover in the summer. All meetings will be fully live on Polish Eurosport. Edited May 20, 2019 by racers and royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teaboy279 1,038 Posted May 25, 2019 Potential wild cards looking at previous one sport events. Pedersen Smektala A Pawlicki bro. Huckenbeck or smolinski Lebidevs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted May 25, 2019 It's hard to make a case for any other brits, maybe Harris just on the back of his name. I think given a shot Bewley or S Worrall could do a job, but niether have enough club form let alone international level form to spark much enthusiasm for either outside of the UK.

James Carter 62 Posted May 26, 2019 Laguta was on another level in that match. If I was Anders Thomsen I'd be calling WADA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I woudl dearly love to see him ride as a wild card in one or other of the upcoming SGP rounds. He would ruffle a few feathers there, for sure ! Thomsen could rather challenge the referee's verdict when Woryna came down and he go the blame for that in the all deciding "last chance" heat. That was a harsh decision, that went against Thomsen.

I'm only kidding about WADA. Then again I am a bad loser so I'd still do it. He was so good though especially in his 5th race. Hope he gives Lublin that extra fire power they lack and they can avoid relegation 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
