RPNY Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 (edited) This years line up was very poor. Lambert (who I am fan of) was very lucky to qualify for next year. His form was terrible. Hope I'm wrong but it'll be almost impossible for Kurtz to repeat that form of the last few months. We hoped Holder Lambert and Bewley could put up a title challenge but they are way off that. Simple fact is that last time BZ didnt win a world championship the 2 guys either side of him on the podium were the only 2 that would have given him trouble for the next few years. And despite the fact Russians can compete in Tennis, The Olympics, cycling and comically other Motorsports, they have been banned from the SGP. Its pathetic and we've been robbed of a decent series Edited September 16 by RPNY 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several things are on Companies house including information that this company was only incorporated in August this year, however there is information in the public domain about previous companies and even a winding up petition. Let's hope they can bring in Emil and Artem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 I mentioned certainly do but as you know they won’t be in , lets look forward to another exciting gp year. Thank god for Kurtz and Bewley to add the interest the rest sadly lack. Why do they have to bring something new Yes I’d have Emil and Laguta but it won’t happen So ruling them out who would you have ? I want the best 15 riders not just new riders for the sake of it On 9/16/2025 at 7:21 AM, SPEEDY69 said: Please, no, he's had about 5 wildcard picks over the years, let's have someone new, worked with Kurtz. Who? Who is better than Doyle , Fricke and Michelsen and Vaculik apart from Dudek Someone new will get in if they are good enough … I think you forget that Kurtz qualified he didn’t have a wild card Woryna is new this year because he deserved it and qualified Look at the riders who didn’t qualify through the challenge Cierniak, Wolbert , Gusts and Pollestad are the only riders who have never ridden a GP season….. you want one of those over a Doyle or Vaculik …. Seriously?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously?? I’d have Parnitskyi , Cierniak or Kowalski before Doyle . All young up and coming and hungry. Wanting to show they can mix it at the top. As good as Doyle was , he’s had his day and brings no new interest. Also he likes a fall so is likely to miss gp’s too. Nothing wrong with freshening things up to re energise the competition. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with freshening things up to re energise the competition. Just my opinion. But Doyle beats all of them in Ekstraliga meetings so why make the competition worse? If they can’t even get it via qualification they aren’t good enough yet, how many people paying to fly to different countries to watch those? I know for a fact lots of Witches fans travel purely because of Doyle. But I respect your opinion and I’m not saying either of us are right or wrong.

WookieboyDon Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 The three wildcards will be Luke Becker, Mikkel Michelsen and Max Fricke…so the whispers say. 😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 other than being an American I am surprised to see Luke Beckers name. I like him as a rider but dont rate him that well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have just about made a case for him being in the 2025 series based on his 2024 form but he's spent most of 2025 on the injured list, not for the first time it'd be baffling if he got a pick.

Col Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Wouldn't bother giving Doyle another PWC, all he is likely to do is injure himself or another rider... Fricke is worth another PWC. If no Laguta & Sayfutdinov... I think I'd give Parnitskyi & Cierniak a go, they'll finish 14th & 15th but so would Kvech & Huckenbeck. Woffinden got a pick in 2011 and struggled badly was frankly uncompetitive... dropped out in 2012 but qualified for and won 2013. Who's to say Parnitskyi couldn't do the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 Becker as a pick is utterly terrible, obviously it’s financially beneficial in some way having him in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 They are supposed to be 'wild' cards and not simply the next three after 7th in this years' competition so I have no problem with Becker if he was picked. New faces I'm all for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
