SCB 0 Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) There are two wildcards. The locally picked one and the FIM one. You can see why no rider wants this wildcards if it means no series wildcards!! Edited September 8, 2014 by SCB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
severnsider 197 Posted September 9, 2014 There are two wildcards. The locally picked one and the FIM one. You can see why no rider wants this wildcards if it means no series wildcards!! You could still get into top 3 and automatically qualify Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted September 9, 2014 Logic suggests you promote riders from the meeting the injured rider was from. Until such time that you have officially names the reserves. Thats how it has been done. Dont think it is written in the rules, just practise that has been carried through the years. I know it was not in the book when it worked in favour of a Finnish rider.

DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted September 10, 2014 What a joke.. Carpanese ?? Has he done any reasonable racing this year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted September 10, 2014 Carpanese? Just about understand Covatti as he's a local but Carpanese, even if he is local is crap and a waste of space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted September 10, 2014 So with Woodward out I guess Berntzon will come in on #4 with Miedzinski on #18 right ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted September 10, 2014 So with Woodward out I guess Berntzon will come in on #4 with Miedzinski on #18 right ?? Who knows but Smolinski seems to be ranked higher then Berntzon so I assume Smolinski as nr4, Berntzon as nr17 and Pavlic as nr18? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted September 10, 2014 I always thought that the 'next in line' rider is the one that ranked after the rider that will be replaced from their raceoff. So Harris is replacing Dudek (Czestochowa RO), and then Berntzon should replace Woodward (Czestochowa RO). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted September 10, 2014 STILL more questions than answers and I fully agree that putting in two Italians is a joke. Will Zagar actually ride or pull out as he did last year given that he has almost cemented his SGP place for 2015 and could do so on Saturday... will Pawlicki be fit, Woodward is already out.

P T Preece 262 Posted September 10, 2014 Sorry can I Just point out the nico covatti is argentian and only rides on an italian license, and birmingham have 5 former riders in the line up, Harris, Covatti, Carpenese, Doyle and Smolinski. What time does it start over here on the saturday and can you watch the fim-live feed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never been able to watch the challenge on the internet previously,and shouldn`t think this year will be any different. meeting starts 8 pm uk time. Live updates will be the best we can hope for I would suspect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
