Perhaps gifted was a bit OTT but it was certainly heavily weighted in his favour and I said he can only beat what was is put in front of him and surely you can't argue that he's not up against the 15 best riders in the world... or even 14, 13 or 12...

F1 doesn't have 2 semis and a final, you know exactly where you are and what is required, there were just too many permutations going into the semis again and it'll be the same while this scoring system continues

The scoring system needs to be fan/viewer friendly first and foremost. You shouldn't have to need to have a laptop in front of you to know what the hell is going on.

Would much rather watch riders that wanted to be there than some of these big time Charlie's that think they're bigger than the sport. You'd expect better from some of them, just remember when it comes round to testimonial and farewell meetings though.

Well done to Rob & Bartek... but Zmarzlik is undoubtedly a class rider and easily the best of his generation, he could afford to miss Vojens last year and use Cardiff as a test session this year and still win with a round to spare. He was basically gifted the 2020 world title has had his 2 major rivals removed from the series and further still won this year's with the weakest line up for quite some time. I think there's quite a bit in what others have said about the money available in Poland devaluing the SGP series. You can only beat what's put in front of you though, so fair play to him.

Could only ride triangular shaped tracks... like Eastbourne

His bank manager (and wife ) will

I don't know, you don't know, nobody knows, there's thousands in attendance that don't know, nobody at WBD seems to know, even Einstein with a super computer wouldn't know... every year we have to go through this fiasco of not knowing who needs to do what with this ridiculous scoring system!

No

Great stuff from Foord, thought he was going to bin in a few times!!

Clearly was he was still going around turn 3 under power... according to Roynon next time a rider coasts home for a point or runs with the bike to claim a point they should be excluded? It depends how you define under power, if the engine is still running surely it's "under power"?

Terrible referring decision, Starke was clearly still under power! Roynon is talking cr@p

"Poole top 3 riding at GP level"

Captions a complete shambles... as usual. I don't know why they even bother televising quali.

There's clearly not enough riders of the quality needed to ride at PL level to sustain the RS system. Sam Hagon, the British U21 Champion, is barely able to score a single point in his last 9 meetings. You get the feeling if his name wasn't Hagon (bankrolled) he'd have probably quit by now. Reminds me a bit of how Lee Richardson started his career.

Big reduction in league strength between 2023 & 2024 though... so slightly inflated but an increase is an increase.

Says to me he should have been withdrawn from the last GP

Luke Killeen seems a tidy little rider, I've been impressed by him whenever I've seen him this season

Massive plus for Oxford... their manager is stuck in traffic

Yep and I'm doing requests... the Lion sleeps tonight? Ding Dong the witch is dead?

Just thought you were being a little disrespectful to one of the better sources of information for this forum

Hey @ShanoXtra come lately with your 152 posts @Phil The Ace really does know what he's talking about and generally with his 4,800+ posts what he says on here has a kernel of truth and more often than not happens

Yes, I was thinking of the poor Polish fans

What about all of the marketing and fans being able to make arrangements though? 'k'em I guess! I hope their trumpets and whistles arrive in time

For commercial reasons?
