Kurtz did all he could to be number 1 this year. Nobody good enough to help him out by topping Zmarzlik. We need possible challengers. Doyle top class in his day at the top level but those days are now gone and he’ll know it deep down. He may challenge once or twice but over 10 rounds. No chance. Wild cards must be possible challengers or it will be the same predictable results on boring circuits. For what it’s worth I’d go for Laguta, Emil, Madsen and woffinden ( box office )

No chance you can have 15 riders as possible challengers … whoever gets i someone has to finish 10th and someone 15th

Is Doyle one of the top 15 riders in the world? 
Is Fricke? 
Is Michelsen?

Answers are yes…… doesn’t mean any of them will make the podium

Madsen has already qualified.

Yes put them all back in . Same old same old. Laguta and sayfutdinov are better than the 3 you’ve quoted. Woffinden brings character and interest. And who knows, may reach top levels again. Maybe not consistently but then your 3 don’t either.

Woffinden is only box-office at the Disco these days.

Before the illegal invasion. And the Ukraine Constitution does not allow elections in a time of war.

Yes that’s right and very convenient too, Zelensky the dictator (by definition) will be outed when the time is right and his purpose has been served

The 3 you mentioned bring nothing new . 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.

Please, no, he's had about 5 wildcard picks over the years, let's have someone new, worked with Kurtz.

Kurtz qualified but I take your point about new blood. Bewley & Holder came in with the exclusion of the Russians and this year Lebedevs looks to have also stepped up a notch or two

Kurtz was a revelation,but for me Lebedevs made the big step this season,was in the mix all year. Lambert was poor ,to me if his gating lets him down he can’t produce.

Polish media are reporting that UK based Mayfield Sport management are poised to be the GP promoters from 2026.

Richard Coleman and his wife seem to be the 2 directors, and it was Mayfield  Sport that ran the 2023 Cardiff GP presumably on behalf of WBD. They are based in Brackley.

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.
