The toughest event in World Speedway, Every point counts, A single bad ride & it could all be over.

A fantastic advert for speedway but I feel at least the top 5 of these should be allowed to qualify.

There are better riders lose their place in GP than any 5 riders from Challenge.IMo

I like Kolodziez as a rider, but no, not after his last effort, he was like Lindback and KK, you didn’t know which Kolodziez was going to turn up.

Didn't he win a GP that year?  Much better than Lindback & Kasprzak!  He was 5th in Ekstraliga averages this season when I last checked.

He did, but that is what I meant by you didn’t know which Kolodzeiz turned up. Too many meetings he only scored a few points. Just like KK and Lindback, fantastic to watch when they are riding well, really fantastic, but so often they just not turned on. Throw statistics all day, but in speedway go you got to nail it meeting after meeting. They is where the GP series is different to the days of one off finals (and I loved them too). The machine and the man has to be on top to last a multi GP season, and that takes some doing.

I wouldn`t write off Chris Holders chances - he has some quick engines at the moment. Zarnovica have announced this morning that a deal has been done for Polish fans to watch on Eleven Sports.

15 riders can’t show up and nail it meeting after meeting in a GP, whats so difficult to understand about that? There’s a massive difference between KK and Lindback, and Kolodziej, but nevermind. Someone has to come last in the gp’s,  doesn’t mean he’s not deserving of being in them, as it’s about getting the best 15 riders in the world in the series? Which he is this season.

Correct, that's one of the links I have. It won't be geo blocked. There will be another from VK too.

Hopefully he and Zagar won't get onto next year's GPs I'd rather Ellis get through time for some fresh blood in GPS for me

Zagar definitely won't be in the 2022 GP series. He's not in the Challenge meeting today.

Won't qualify automatically either.
