Being a Brit I`m sure you are as happy as me. 3 Brits through to the u19 Final. Whichever jokers at u21 level picked the wildcards should be ashamed of themselves. But like much decisions you never get to know who makes them. We should have had at least one Brit in the u21 series yet they went with Matt who? 5 pts in qualifier. Oh and a German. Kemp 6th choice. What a disgrace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a disgrace. Maybe the FIM thought the Brits should have made more effort to do the qualifier in Gustrow- not saying i agree with them just possibly why they did what they did.

Yes and none of them qualified? Do you really think that the qualifiers were even? Or should I say that the Holsted one was the hardest, since that got the most spots 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I totally agree. But 10 days isolation is hard to take. Especially as Goret rode there having ridden at Plymouth earlier in the week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the FIM should have made more effort to accommodate Brits into their series? They saw how well Kemp done in the pairs competition and chose to ignore it, Kemp, along with Brennan and probably Rowe, Palin and Flint, all capable 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty even between Holsted and Divisov( and Daugavpils) in my opinion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That makes more sense 6 did go through from Holsted -that`s because a Latvian qualified by right- i suppose they pick one of the semi`s beforehand to say 6 will qualify unless the home country in the final doesn`t have a qualifier.
