Mark 1,497 Posted July 24, 2020 5 hours ago, racers and royals said: He won`t want to be bothered- if he finishes outside the top 6 in the GP`s he`s guaranteed a FIM wildcard. Can you be sure ?. Injury played its part last season but he didn't pull up any trees. He got double digits once in a GP. I'm a big fan of GB's Woffy but he has a big task to stay top 5 this season.

customhouseregular 1,651 Posted July 25, 2020 Surprised at the choice. Becker has more experience and is a more accomplished rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welwyn 62 Posted July 30, 2020 I can't see (& don't trust) the BSPA to have either the foresight or ability to pull this off. But with Lambert qualified, Tai surely having no interest in traipsing to Croatia for a meeting he will, at a bare minimum, expect to not need and the only other British rider currently riding (Bewley) injured and back home. This presents a brilliant chance to salvage something from 2020: A one-off, behind closed doors, 'British Qualifier' for the spot in Gorican, which can be streamed online.
