waiheke1 4,295 Posted September 12, 2021 Is it 4 or 5 wildcards for next year? Top 6+SEC chsmp + top 3 GP challenge +? If 4, Madsen, Doyle, Lambert, Vaculik? Thomsen unlucky to miss out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panthers99 434 Posted September 12, 2021 Madsen, Doyle, Vaculik, Lambert and Fricke. My guess at the 5, I'd imagine the first four are nailed on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fricke doesn`t need one !!!!- nor does Dudek and Przedpelski and Michelsen Edited September 12, 2021 by racers and royals 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iand 133 Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Kubera must be in with a good shout, looked good earlier in the GP's. It would mean a 4th pole but surely we want to see the best riders in the world in the GP. Edited September 12, 2021 by iand 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be nice, but unfortunately for young promising Polish riders the fact there are already 4 Poles in the series almost certainly means it won't happen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waiheke1 4,295 Posted September 12, 2021 Anyone other than Mads Doyle Lambert Vaculik Thomsen that people think have a realistic chsnce? A token Swede instead of Thomsen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If either Robert lambert or Thomsen score really badly in Torun they may not get one. Especially Thomsen who would be quite a few points behind Lambert on the old points system. Jack Holder could be worth a go, 15th in Polish averages. Who picks the wildcards? is it the new organisers or FIM? The current best rider outside the GPs is probably Janusz Kolodziej, 7th polish averages and 4th in the Gp challenge. Although can't see him getting a wildcard unless there is change in policy from the new organisers/FIM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J Holder and Nicki P are probably the next best options, but neither has really provided a compelling case. I'm pretty sure Lambert will get one - young, British, improving, top ten in Ekstraliga. Of the five I've suggested, I believe only Thomsen is at risk of not getting one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,141 Posted September 12, 2021 If Thomson has half good meeting x2 in Torun he probably deserve another crack at it. Conversely if Lambert has to mid-low meetings then he could be in trouble, Thomson has had a podium, that means something. It is a pity for Kubera that he comes from a country populated with good riders. If he misses a pick then he has to be the series first reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
