eric i 610 Posted September 22, 2020 If Jack Holder puts in a decent performance he must have very good chance of getting a 2021 wildcard spot, 9th in Polish league averages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If GP challenge was after the final GP maybe a ruling that if you finish outside of top 6 and don't qualify from the challenge then you cannot get a wildcard. Unless you missed X percentage of GPs through injury Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H20 48 Posted September 23, 2020 This series has shown the riders constantly in the semi finals and the riders not getting to them. Fresh faces is what's needed to give others a chance to up there game unlike the current riders that have had there fair chance, Lindback, Iverson, Zagar, Kaspezak all had their chance get some new riders in.

It certainly doesn`t mean if you don`t reach the semi`s you are not among the best 15 and deserve to be there. Zagar and Kasprzak are in it in 2021 and rightly so because they finished in the top 3 in the challenge( i know because of Covid they were nominated instead of qualifying). Lambert winning the SEC has gained his spot. I think the changes they have introduced are about right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pogs 0 Posted September 23, 2020 I have 2 free tickets for Torun GP on the saturday. They are row 1 sector 0. we are unable to go so if anyone would like them let us know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H20 48 Posted September 23, 2020 I think the GP Challenge should always be after the GP series is finished and then we would not get riders like Zagar going through the motions knowing he is it it nest year. How Kasprrzak was even nominated was a mystery he must have friends in high places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fullmax 79 Posted September 23, 2020 Finally decided today that were not travelling to Torun next weekend. With the current restrictions I don't think it'll be the same experience as in recent seasons. Plus were still unsure about the ticket situation as our Saturday tickets when we looked at booking the same seats for the Friday night that section was closed!

Looks like tickets selling now as they were not moving before the last round. Massive battle for a top 6 place too. I think thats a bit of PR by BSI. After the top six there is another five wildcard picks. I can't see them picking outside of the GP boys even though there maybe a few deserving of a pick. so in effect It's eleven who qualify for next season plus Lambert and the three from the GP challenge. So that gives' us a total of fifteen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
