Triple.H. Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 If Debrecen round is completed then just give the four riders on 6 points in this round places in the finals. They all had a win, second and third. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoundTheBoards Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Surely the FIM new method of race times instead of countback, should give Tate Zischke the 4th qualifying place. (Although the fact that race times were affected by rain shows how silly this idea is). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie4388 Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Mencel wins a ballot to qualify or as we call it in Speedway you're Polish you win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, so that's how Janowski got through to the semi finals at Cardiff last year then (or did that not count). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was decided on FIM rank. Not sure why they didn't do that tonight - would've gone to Nagel on that basis, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be a really bad idea, a 16 year old in his first season would be hindered if ranked below riders who were old enough to ride last season. I'm not sure how I'd decide it, but a ballot should NEVER be the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why when Lambert and Janowski had beat 2 of the other tied riders and Vaculik and Bewley had only beat 1. Head to head was in the rules last year.

Head to head was in the rules last year. Exactly and as you wanted 3 you then went to who beat who between Vaculik and Bewley. Sorted in 10 minutes at the most !

Kujawa was an anomaly but imagine looking back at Tomas Suchanek as a World Champion? Kasprzak flattered to deceive a lot but dear lord.

Bavarian Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Let's talk about Patricia "Paddy" Erhart! Here is a facebook reel of her SGP2 performance last night in Glasgow https://www.facebook.com/reel/1643640163021869 I like the opening picture of Paddy with Dan Bewley. What a lovely couple What do You guys think about her? She scored two points, she beat Alex Adamson and Otto Raak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a lovely couple What do You guys think about her? She scored two points, she beat Alex Adamson and Otto Raak. I thought she did herself proud. Her gating was the main thing that let her down, once she was racing she seemed pretty competitive, and certainly not afraid to race/pass. It makes more sense after reading that she was somewhat hesitant due to the conditions. There have been worse U21 riders in the past. Hopefully she gets more chances to improve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
