To explain the championship points.... The Speedway A group always need to have 16 riders, so they can use the GP format. A couple of riders got the A Status so they will always ride in the A Group. If there are not enough A riders the Dutch Federation will select B riders to complete the field. If you win the A Group you will score 50 points, second will get 49 and so on. If you win the B group you will score 34 points, second will get 33 and so on. The rider with the most points after the 5 rounds will be the Dutch Champion Speedway. For the B riders it's also possible to become Dutch Champion, the top 10 B riders will race at the end of this year in Veenoord in the support races of the Golden Helmet meeting. Current Top 10 B Group: 1. Henk Koonstra 2. Bernd Dinklage 3. Maurin Vochteloo 4. Randy Oldenziel 5. Richard Koppies 6. Jesper Veldhuizen 7. Ramon Steenbergen 8. Jan Meijerink 9. Kelly Velda 10.
