teaboy279 1,038 Posted April 20, 2021 I imagine if its national seeds it would be one each from UK (Bewley) ,Poland, Sweden, Denmark,Russia, Germany, then the best 3 available riders from the pool of Slovakia,Slovenia,France,Ukraine,Finland,italy,Croatia,Holland and any other nations I ve forgotten. To me that seems the fairest solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teaboy279 1,038 Posted April 20, 2021 if we are faced with the fact of behind closed doors series again this year, it kinda makes the whole reason for a local wildcard a mute point. But in response to my maths malfunction just add the extra seed to the pool of "minor" nations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moomin man 76 171 Posted April 20, 2021 On results from last season's SEC; Timo Lahti should be included this year, if the organisers are simply going to pick/nominate riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fully agree- Lahti and Bellego will be the 1st 2 on the list- hopefully Vadim Tarasienko will be one of the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
