If the 15 GP riders stay in Poland name your 15 for a UK series. Take any rider and assume the rider will come to the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hacksaw Jim Duggan 199 Posted April 28, 2020 I really don't see why it wouldn't be seen as a "credible" win, In this day and age the majority of riders have pretty equal exposure to the tracks, the British GB hardly offers someone any form of "home" advantage if it was removed from the calendar. A Championship won over 3/4/5 rounds would be a perfectly reasonable way to judge a World Champion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted April 28, 2020 Maybe some of them would come? Like Emil Sajfutdinov who is now in the press saying he might skip PL this season. There are about 20 riders that have been banging their head against a brick wall in the challenge for years. They keep getting there but miss it by a narrow margin for one reason or another. The racing could actually be better than in the gp’s with a little top speed missing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the Polish border closed its the only way Ekstraliga riders could take part in the GP series. Could 5 or 6 GP's with no crowd be run at tracks around Poland. What if a rider is in the GP but not riding in Poland? That would make it impossible to ride elsewhere. Indeed any GP held in Poland would put unrealistic restrictions on their movement for non GP racing. No GPs in Poland I say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC2 11,150 Posted May 2, 2020 Just now, Grachan said: Why would the winner not be a true champion? Agreed. They used to be in one off finals so why wouldn’t they be in a six leg series, regardless of where it’s held. Let’s face it, all of those taking part will be familiar with the Polish tracks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
