It’s quite ridiculous that someone who scores 6 from 5 rides could get 20pts for winning the final.🤔👎

I think the point is that it stops the usual suspects dominating the series as we know cream floats to the top, so if you introduce as much uncertainty as possible  it can yield  in an unexpected result . It's not the way I would like the series to be run as like many people I want the best rider on the night win ,in the case of this GP it should of been Bewley IMO  !

Agree with what you say, it was brought in to try to stop Bartosz winning every year😂Not really worked YET.The riders have sussed it out and ride accordingly .Woryna was worthy winner though gave it everything all night. Dan was different class on the night though.

Well done mr woryna , not sure he'll be wc this year but what a fantastic achievement for him to win on his debut in the series like smolinski did years ago. 

The way he rides it's a bit tense, will he lose control further or stay on? I think there's a high chance he'll have a few crashes.

Must admit I'm amazed more hasn't been made of it, although given speedway's constant fear of controversy,  perhaps I shouldn't be.

I think BZ may have been starting to turn left on him but i think it makes it good to watch, talking points are what we need.

Wasn't it something to do with the 'them' thinking that it was too confusing when the winner of the final wasn't the top GP points scorer. Especially when compared to other motorsports.

I didn't find it confusing and prefer the old system. I don't like how finishing 2nd in one Last Chance/Semi Final scores more GP points than finishing 2nd in the other. 

Of course the new system does allow the top two heat point scorers to avoid the semi finals.

Swings and roundabouts I guess but I feel that there was more competition in each qualifying heat when every point mattered.
