Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted June 21, 2014 Batchelor touched tapes in last ride ! That could cost him dearly. THJ won his final heat and booked his ticket to Italy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy robin 2,966 Posted June 21, 2014 Can anyone tell me who gets the last 2 places at the Grand prix challenge final?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bostonian 188 Posted June 21, 2014 How did the Brits do? Seen only Harris got a reserve spot but were cook etc close to qualifying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy jimmy 298 Posted June 21, 2014 No, Bridger 4 pts, Cook 1 point, King 5 points . Won't see a Brit in the GP Challenge until Robert Lambert gets there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT 167 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) How did the Brits do? Seen only Harris got a reserve spot but were cook etc close to qualifying? It's safe to say Harris will be in the meeting proper. Barring a disaster, Zagar will be firmly entrenched in the top 8 come the Grand Prix Challenge, and will probably pull out of the meeting again, promoting Harris into the meeting proper. King, Bridger and Cook scored 5, 4 and 1 respectively and are all out. The Italian pick will inevitably go to Covatti and the FIM one to a Swede. As we know from our own wild card picks, the desire to satisfy national quotas far outweighs the desire to get the best riders in the series. Given his 8 point haul, I'd give it to Berntzon, but the BSI and FIM are obsessed with familiar faces, so expect Lindgren or Jonsson to get the nod. Again. JT.

Bruiser McHuge 589 Posted June 22, 2014 Cook scoring 1 just shows how little experience British riders have on the European circuits...it is virtually a different sport from a lot of British tracks and getting 14 or 15 at Edinburgh each week is no great preparation for meetings like these and certainly won't get a contract for the Polish and Swedish leagues I fear for Britain at world level over the years...the moment the young riders step outside of Britain on the European tracks they will continue to struggle and never have enough meetings on them to actually get better 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We already have THJ and Sundström in the GP challenge so I doubt that AJ or Lindgren will get the wild card maybe Kasprzak will get it but the most likely candidate is Harris.

Skidder1 7,658 Posted June 22, 2014 The FIM nomination will probably go to someone like Bech or MJJ!!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
