arnieg 3,651 Posted June 25, 2020 Lenarduzzi and Goret seem to be rather eccentric picks. There must be about 15 young Danes/Poles better than those two. Even if this has been done as one rider per country (plus second Pole as they provided last year's champ) I'd have put Pacalaj (Slovakia) above those two. Slightly surprised that Kotlyar is the Russian pick over Saydullin. I imagine Chulpac will be the wild card. And only two Poles so no Chugunov. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goret scored well in the French league matches which were run earlier this year- could be an improving talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should have looked at your U21 rating to get a better idea. But as long as Castagna has a hole in his rear there was going to be an Italian in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good well be, but since all riders were selected by FIM & associated, not 100% sure that a FMN can just change their rider, even with injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poland putting Chuganov forward would be like the ACU pushing Rory Schlein into a GP as the British representative. It might be official and legal, but Poland is a very proud nation, and might fight shy of making such a move. Didn't Jason Crump get a wild card to a British GP at Hackney? Not sure who chose him though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were 6 Brits in the 96 GP series and no Poles..Those were the days! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunner85 603 Posted August 30, 2020 Looking at the list definite chance of a rostrum place for a Belle Vue rider Lidsey has had plenty of practice in Poland whilst Dan Bewley has the talent to be on the rostrum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racers and royals 8,737 Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) TV coverage has been confirmed- meeting starts at 4pm UK time. It’s live on Eurosport Poland but it’s looking very unlikely that British Eurosport will be showing it at all- live or recorded- reason French open tennis. At least there will be Polish links.
