2016 Euro's - Live On Tv
customhouseregular replied to Mark's topic in International World of Speedway
I first visited Germany in 1960...my uncle was based there with BAOR. I first went to Austria in 1965...my father was stationed near Klagenfurt after the war. I then revisited Austria in 1968, 1971, 1973 and 1976. My sister moved to Austria in 1973. Having toured Tyrol and Bavaria I have an interest in things Germanic, having also studied German at school so your posts on Germany are always welcome. -

2016 Gp Riders
customhouseregular replied to Col's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
One of our esteemed forum members posts rankings showing the World top 20 at the end of the year. Why not seed the World Champion plus the next 15 from the list to make up the 16 for the next year's series. No wildcards, no GP Challenge where one bad ride can knock a rider out of contention. World ranking 17-20 are series reserves so no no-hoper Finn or Latvian trailing in half a lap behind in a re-run heat, A common complaint on these threads is that there are better riders out of the GP than some that are in...Jonsson/Vaculik for example. If the field is made up of the World top 16 by ranking there can be no complaints. (some hope). -

Problem is, as not every rider competes in all the same leagues or the same competitions, comparing averages to find the top 15 is nigh on impossible. Foe example Tai does not do EL and Emil does not do GP, so how do we compare the two?. -

How many World Champions were actually the World's best rider over a full season?. Muller and Sczakiel certainly weren't but they were still called World no.1. I do accept your point though. -
For me it has to be Ronnie Moore...no finer team man in my opinion.

My point is that SCB maintains AJ is no longer in the Word Top 15 when he clearly is. Until he competes in a 12-round series with all the riders he asserts are better than him, and they all beat him, then that can't be contested. If Hampel had completed the series or Kildermand been in from the start AJ would still be no.10. -

Hampel would certainly have finished above AJ had he not been injured. The others did not either make the GP's or enter the qualifiers so can not be compared to AJ in 2015. He was World no. 2 only 4 years ago. It may be that over a 12 round series all the riders you name would finish higher than AJ, but the fact remains that AJ is currently World no. 10. -

Unless my abacus is broken AJ finished 2015 as World no. 10...so how not in top 15?. -
I believe it was Costa Mesa, Irwindale, Ventura, Bakersfield and one other.

Not sure about Holland but league racing has been tried in the others, albeit on a very small scale with mini-leagues. From memory the USA tried it in the 80's with a 5-team league.
