Thing is, people say about Vaculik and Thomsen getting wild cards because of their injuries, but what about Woffinden? Granted, he didn't miss full meetings, but he was unfit at Cardiff, and missed a couple of rides. If it hadn't been for that, HE could have made top 6! Vaculik missed a whole round and only finished 2 points behind Tai, whilst taking 2 wins and a 2nd. More wins and more finals, although Tai did make more semi finals.

OveFundinFan 4,142 Posted October 3, 2022 Did I hear Fricke just say he is in next years GPSeries.? If he is in I would say definitely no Russians next year. If so, I won’t miss them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He didn't but Bewley did and he moves up as Bewley qualified from this years' gp. Or they could do what they did last year when they picked Holder and Bewley and ignored the next places from the GP challenge?

Thanks, forgot he was 4th in GPChallenge, and that was after I put him in my list for next year I put up on here on Sunday. Doh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Granted he's not the top dog he's used to be, but he's still getting to semis/finals, still has moments of pure magic, and if he can stay injury free (big if I know) is one of the few who can get close to Bartosz. Yet some on here go on like he's Scott Nicholls with the ego of Nikki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I said, he is clearly still one of the Top 15 riders in the world, and as you say, he knows how to match - and beat - Zmarzlik. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,228 Posted October 4, 2022 Well that's Zmarzlik's 4th world title already sealed. Terrible picks. Series will be even weaker next season with Kim Nilsson coming in for Przedpelski. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Series will be even weaker next season with Kim Nilsson coming in for Przedpelski. So Kim Nilsson will do worse than Przedpelski? The only missing rider that would have made the series stronger is probably Dominik Kubera, but there was no chance they were going to pick another Pole as well as Dudek.
