For it to be a tie, at least one of them would need to fail to get to the final plus the other would need to come fourth.

And plenty of scenario’s if both fail to reach the final.

What if they were both to finish much lower down in the points with Kurtz 3 points higher than Zmarzlik, Kurtz 13th and Zmarzlik 16th for example, or 12th and 15th, 11th and 14th etc. etc.

I know it's not likely, but I kind of want the following to happen to show the flaw in the scoring system to the organisers (so they fix it).

What if Zmarzlik & Kurtz meet in LCQ1. Kurtz is 2nd which means 11 or 12 points, Zmarzlik is 3rd (9 or 10 points) or 4th (7 or 8 points).

The world title would then be decided in LCQ2, the finishing order of 4 riders who cannot become world champion, would determine wether Zmarzlik or Kurtz wins the title!

I challenge anyone to explain why this scenario is the best way to score the GPs.

It’s just farcical

Would you give Doyle or Tai get one  ? 

Doyle yes, still has the hunger and ruthlessness to mix it up,tai no, I’m no fan of woffinden but I am happy to see him back after injury but I don’t see him as a world force anymore, maybe a wild card for a round to show appreciation for his contribution to the GPs like they did with Gollob

I tend to agree although I'm not a fan of either I believe Doyle should get one more W/C

Top seven qualify , all the rest have to go to challenge

This so:

7 from SGP

1 from SEC

5 from GP Challenge

3 WC's

The wildcard is to counteract injuries that put people out of the GP Challenge. Imagine if Fricke and Lambert collide in Heat 1 in Vojens, both out of the GP & the challenge a fortnight later as Thomson makes the Vojens final. Suddenly two guys would be out of 2026 through a matter of timing. 

Admittedly, most of the time those WC's would end up going to the Huckenbeck's & Kvech's of this world but it helps prevent the above, or Zmarzlik being out of the 2026 & 27 World Championship if he get's carted into in an Extraliga meeting in May next year and is out for 2026.

This seems good - I much prefer people who qualify for the series than wildcards.

I went on Saturday and from where I was (3rd bend) it never looked overly wet.  See a lot on social media and on here about it, but to my eye it looked ok?

Love Wroclaw for the weekend, love the track and the atmosphere was fantastic. 👍

I agree.

 

We were on the first bend, row 9, and it didn't look overly wet to us.
