As we now know the picks they would have never given Smektala the replacement place for Pawlicki as too many Poles.
Personally I think the picks are fine, likewise I’d rather have had Lambert in.
Pretty much agree that those are who I expect.
Smektala has no chance given that Dudek is already a given, Madsen deserves a pick as best rider outside of GP this year but will probably be ignored again and whilst I’d love to see Lambert in I think Zagar will get in ahead of any other options including Fricke.
2 and 4 have always been considered second string roles, and in years gone by 4th and 5th in the averages had to ride in those positions.
Less so these days as your 2nd heat leader can ride at 2 or 4 as well!
Fair points.
Of course injuries can and have wrecked seasons prior to the play offs as well.
I get the facts that some feel that the team that tops the table over a full season deserve to be champions as well.
However let’s not forget that there were several seasons when meaningless matches took place when teams had nothing to race for other than pride prior to the play offs as well.
swings and roundabouts on which is better I guess.
Can only applaud Bomber on that ride. Gotta feel for Somerset and that missing rider in heat 13 could have been all the difference in the end.
Well done to the Pirates on the win.
I had, someone wanted to dispute it.
Just pointing out that a certain Aces fan always goes on about Wolves fans cheering fallen riders when by your own admission it’s a hypocritical thing to do as all clubs have riders that do so. It was really just a throwaway comment but take your point.
