Kim made the semi finals in MÃ¥lilla this year. I don't think he will be top 6-7 but he will for sure make some good rounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enotian Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 (edited) Are we saying that the 2027 SGP series could be Zmarzlik, Kurtz, Lambert, MJJ, Woryna, Madsen, Lebedevs, Tungate, Nilsson, Jakobsen, Harris, The European Champion and 3 wildcards from: Bewley, Holder, Lindgren, Fricke, Dudek, Thomsen, Doyle; Kubera, Kvech etc Probably not that much worse than the 2026 series tbh 😃 They definitely need to rethink the GP Challenge Edited July 25 by enotian forgot the wildcard per round 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 (edited) Tungate getting in means Doyle & Fricke won't get a wildcard. Bewley, Holder will....suspect Lindgren over Dudek. Although after winning a GP maybe Thomsen rather than Lindgren. Bewley & Holder will be in.

Col Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Lebedevs isn't finishing top 7 unless he has a stellar Riga and his form improves elsewhere. Hasn't been as good this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Happens every year an absolute shocker of a rider makes it through 🤣 It's the reason I'll repeat again. The Speedway Grand Prix Series should be a closed shop. The best rider's in the world should be hand picked. The top 12 automatically qualify & the best 4 rider's with the highest amalgamation of averages from at least 2 leagues from:-  •Ekstraliga  •Elitserien  •Speedway Ligaen  •Premiership 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teijahn Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Far better meeting than I expected. Congrats to all 6 or maybe 7 qualifiers, and to Dave Goddard and commentary team for good coverage. A pleasant change from Kelvin and his parrot. The downside of the system of knockout comps that lead to the Challenge is that better riders can left behind due to injury/incidents/mechanicals (or in stronger countries lack of initial qualifying allocations) and thus enable a weak field and lower standard of qualifiers as has happened this year. Thomsen missed his qualifier due to injury, Piotr Pawlicki had only two rides in his, and Jan Kvech three in his. They are far better riders than many that made it here tonite. And for example Lidsey, Becker, and Rohan who all had blinders (for them) in the qualifiers continually prove that they cannot perform consistently at the top level. To my mind a better system to determine the top 15/16 riders for GP's would be use the seasons top riders from the league comps as the starting point for qualification. No rider under a 2.0 point heat average in the leagues (maybe 1.8 in Polish extraligue) is going to be competitive for a GP season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewley, Holder and Lindgren are rock solid GP riders who always qualify on merit. Fricke only has 1 good GP a year that puts him into Wildcard contention (Shouldn't be the case) but you can't give him one in 2027 as too many big consistent big hitters need one after missing most of the series through injury. Doyle's days are numbered at GP level and his GP talking points are the crashes and exclusions tbh. Kubera is bang average outside of Poland tbh and does nothing in the GP's. Kvech has had his chance and done nothing. 50/50 between Dudek and Thomsen and you'll have to give the 4th Wildcard to the latter if Dudek doesn't win a GP.
