Choose Fricke Doyle and Michelsen add them to the 12 and then tell me who will be the bottom 3 or 4 Add in the SGP 2 winner and a couple of young poles and you know they will not be competitive Those saying Doyle doesn’t deserve one should also be saying Fricke and Lambert are lucky to be in…. Doyle missed one and a half GP’s and rode injured for the 2 at Manchester … he only finished 16 behind Lambert and 13 behind Fricke …. And some say he doesn’t deserve it lol Well put, and accurate. Look to the Polish Ekstraleague Averages (Far and Away the toughest International League) for confirmation. The new faces/new blood concept is ridiculous if not franked by consistent form in the top League/s against the World's top riders. As good as some of these young kids are it's a huge step from U21 & U24 competitions to the World top 16 or 20. The only new blood that has shown enough to suggest competitiveness at GP level is Drabik, & not quite new blood but Piotr Pavliski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
