Another interesting stat would be what order of gate picks the 4 named riders had in those 33 semi’s ? Edited October 2, 2023 by racers and royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shockster 402 Posted October 2, 2023 You earn the gate picks. So if Freddie and Bartosz have first picks, they earned them. Not sure that is the case though for Freddie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He really didn't seem to enjoy someone else winning six titles too and couldn't resist undermining the GP system. Then again, being at the very top level in most sports requires a certain level of ego and unwavering self-esteem. It's a big part of what made Mauger who he was. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's also why I think Dan and Robert are probably going to be the closest rivals to Zmarzlik in the coming years. Just need to be a little tougher, and mentally stranger in the crunch heats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
