But then I guess One Sport know they aren't going to sell many tv packages in Finland on the back of him being in the series. Like the GP Series, the European Championship is another series, where you are selected if your face fits and/or if we can make money of the back of you being in the series.

It`s good that different GP riders will be WC`s for the 5 rounds. Don`t forget that GP riders are allowed to do the SEC qualifiers but not be series wild cards. So i reckon it`s an acceptable compromise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be better for the sport to have new up and coming names in the Euro's as wild cards. Cant see much benefits in this other than Zmarzlik should a have a relatively easy pay day by riding in the final heat... May be this is just me. And I wasn't after Lahti's inclusion. The organisers have him where they want him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 1,497 Posted June 23, 2020 Awful crash. I can't decide who was at fault. A racing incident but tough on Lebedevs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it could be said that Lebedevs should be more aware of what's around him. Constantly blocking his own, faster teammate all race & previous heat before that too. Lebedevs is a liability for Rybnik. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
