They each won a race, but Thomson had 2 seconds to Tais one,  does that do it.

Must be, I thought it was race wins then onto who beat who

Funny, isn't it? I spent the night listening to how Laguta is the best rider in the world right now, yet Zmarzlik has won his fourth GP in five, and increased his lead in the World Championship...

[Maddas69 21]

The new points system is not doing it for me. Zmarzlik, 8 points before the semis, Laguta 14. After the final, Zmarzlik 20, Laguta 18. In two heats Zmarzlik gets 12 points, Laguta 4.

Exactly...

It's not how you get there, its whether you get there...

Ivan Mauger spent years almost picking his riding number for the "big night" by ensuring certain qualifying positions in the previous rounds..

Pressure was on tonight and the lad came through without a second glance...

World Champs are born not made and have that level that the others cannot reach...

I agree the new points system isnt for me either.

[mikebv 10,273]

Bet there is no grip at the Russian GP...

Gaters paradise...  

[DJC 251]

New points scoring is pathetic, 8 points into 20 with 2 extra rides! And people ask why others aren't interested in the sport

I agree . I am losing a bit of interest it was for better when all the points in every race mattered.it makes the races 1/20 less important not as exciting . It was nt broken before so why try to fix.

And we miss out on Pearson telling us every point matters countless times each GP. 

So not all bad.
