German qualifyers ??? Bjerre , Smolinski(Past) Millik,Sundstroem,Przedpelsi,Bech, wright (new ones) Cant see anyone else doing anything. What do people want next season? 3 current ones to qualifer Any past GP riders Or brand new faces The best three riders who will enhance the GP series next season is who I want to see. Not someone who flukes a top 3 place in the final and who will be an embarrassment when it comes to the GP's next year and there's certainly a few names in there who have a history of that too!!....(sadly, two of them are British!!)

Welwyn 62 Posted June 10, 2019 Lambert surely has a chance of top 8 as well. Can't see a situation where he doesn't race almost all, if not all, of the GP's (barring him getting injured himself that is) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiles 7 Posted June 10, 2019 My 3 for today are Kenny Bjerre, Vaclav Millik and Smolinksi will get through on home shale with Pavlic going through wherever he finishes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,855 Posted June 10, 2019 Can anybody explain what the deal is with Pavlic, and why he's expected to get a wildcard to the final anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A little bit of a joke if he flops today and then turns up at the final and walks into the GP series. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you 'fluke' a top 3 place in the final? Surely you must 'fluke' your way through the other qualifying rounds as well. That's a lot of fluking. If riders can't beat those you deem to be an 'embarrassment' then they don't deserve to qualify anyway. Edited June 10, 2019 by BWitcher 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 849 Posted June 10, 2019 After 3 rides each in Abensberg 1 Paweł Przedpełski - 3 - 3 - 3 = 9 2 Martin Smolinski - 3 - 3 - 3 = 9 3 Kenneth Bjerre - 3 - 3 - 2 = 8 4 Aleksandr Lokoksiev - 3 - 1 - 3 = 7 5 Timo Lahti - 2 - 3 - 1 = 6 6 Linus Sundstroem - 2 - 2 - 2 = 6 7 Vaclav Milik - 2 - 0 - 3 = 5 8 Jurica Pavlic - 1 - 2 - 2 = 5 9 Charles Wright - 1 - 1 - 2 = 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 849 Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) After 4 rides. 1 Martin Smolinski - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 = 12 2 Aleksandr Lokoksiev - 3 - 1 - 3 - 3 = 10 3 Kenneth Bjerre - 3 - 3 - 2 - 2 = 10 4 Paweł Przedpełski - 3 - 3 - 3 - 0 = 9 5 Timo Lahti - 2 - 3 - 1 - 3 = 9 6 Jurica Pavlic - 1 - 2 - 2 - 3 = 8 7 Linus Sundstroem - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 = 8 Milik & Wright no longer in contention, both failed to score in their fourth rides. Edit, sorry Milik finished 3rd in his 4th ride, but still not in contention despite a rather easy looking heat 17. Edited June 10, 2019 by Col 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heat 19 will decide allot. Expect Bjerre to win heat 18 comfortably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The quality of that field was in my opinion far higher than the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
