    Understood and I also agree with him on that as you will see from my previous posts. But PA was probably the best rider on the night in the challenge and if he (or anyone else) had qualified fair and square you can’t take that away from them. 

     I think I just felt so sorry for the guy after he was a relatively easy ride away from qualifying and his bike packed up 

    well, he was also lucky to even be in positon for a GP spot. he won heat 7 from second start. at first he was easily last and then start marshall finished the race after 3 laps. so yeah I would´t say that he was the best rider of the night.

    Can anyone shed some light on Krsko. As in what airport and what the journey to track is like  Places to stay etc???  

    thanks.  

    I would suggest you to fly to Zagreb and hire a car because train conection with Krsko is not so good and then you can stay as R&R said in Terme Catez or Terme Paradiso. Both, Catez and Paradiso are 15 minutes from Krsko. If you fly to Ljubljana you can also stay in Ljubljana. With a car it's an hour drive to Krsko. You can also go with a train (1h50m) but you will have to run from stadium after the race to catcht it. Krsko is near a highway so it's easy to get to, either from Zagreb or Ljubljana.

    We shall see- thought the crowd looked well down this year. I personally don`t think we have seen the last of Stockholm- and I can see the Tele 2 arena being a new venue for 2018.

    We had problems with weather whole week ahead of GP plus we had holidays that weekend so a lot of people went to sea. I think september is better option for Krsko.

    I see from these results of the Italian Championship round, that Italian Speedway is down to ten active riders (inclusive of the Argentinean Nico Covatti). Some have switched codes and are now racing in the Italian Flat Track Championships.

     

     

    And the speedway riders situation is even worse in the other southeastern European nations, such as Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, and Bulgaria. There were only four Slovenian riders in the opening round of their national championship, and there is now only one rider in Croatia (Jurica Pavlic). Teh Alarm bells must ring! How long can it continue like that?

     

    Bad injuries in last few years caused that we have only 4 riders. Matija Duh died on track in Argentina in 2013, Samo Kukavica was in a coma for a month after crash in Ljubljana in 2014, Maks Gregoric was also in coma for almost a month after crash in Italy 2015. A few riders stoped riding because of money and now we are here, with only 4 riders, but on Saturday we will get a fifth one, a young rider from Ljubljana. Also in Krsko last year started speedway shool and I hope at least two of them will race this year. But yes, I agree, it doesn't look good.

    As I remember, Jurica Pavlic rode as wildcard once or twice? Although he is no slovenian but croatian, what's going on with him? He isn't riding anywhere in the leagues for last 2 or 3 years.

     

    As Ghostwalker said he had few injuries and some problems with bikes and he really droped in form. Last year he was in Grudziadz but rode only few races for the team if I remember correctly. He decided that this year he won't race in any league and only race qualifications for GP and SEC, Slovenian/Croatian/Hungarian championship and invitational meetings.

    Just awaiting the wildcard to be named-think it`s a shortlist of 1 - Denis Stojs.

    If Jarek Hampel doesn`t make it who is 1st on the reserve list ?edit answer is Lindgren

    looks like we have a new ref on the GP rota- Polish ref Artur Kusmierz

     

    Next Saturday we have second round of Slovenian national championship and second best Slovenian rider will get the WC. After first round in Krsko, there is one point between Stojs and Ziga Kovacic so it will be close.
