WHAT about Doyle if he stays outside the top eight?

You've probably got to give Doyle at least one wildcard based on his recent past but I have a suspicion he might be beginning to chart the same path as Holder and won't be a GP rider in 2-3 years from now.

I think Doyle is a great rider and definitely deserved the world title he won (and probably the one he didn't), but given his turnaround from PL rider with no application to World Champ, I wonder just how difficult it is to maintain that level of dedication/application once you've achieved what you set out to do? He's also a rider who's had terrible luck with injuries which must surely catch up eventually.

SOME suggest he rides too much ... might cut out a league.

He rides far too much. All that racing and travelling he must be goosed

I think he still has a SGP title in him. He was top of the averages I think in Sweden last year but dropped off a bit in Poland. Most likely a new team in Poland next year might get the spark back.

As a slight aside I can see more riders riding Poland, SGPs and SEC

Same with Lambert, rides too much but probably didn’t expect to be getting rides in the GP series.

Last I heard he was planning to race in Poland on Friday and then head for Gorican.
