Czech GP Prague Saturday 23rd May


Recommended Posts

What I'll never understand is how Jack Holder scores 11 race points, Woryna 9 & Kurtz 9 yet the GP points awarded are 12, 11 & 18 respectively. Even if I can get over riders getting more points in the final both Holder & Woryna came 2nd in the Elsie Kew's, one gets 12 points the other gets 11... could Woryna really have engineered his finishing position to make sure he finished in Elsie Kew 1 to secure more points than appearing in Elsie Kew 2 🤷‍♂️

If he'd scored that extra point he'd be sharing the Golden (ish) race jacket. And we all know the Championship was only settled by a single point last season. 

It's all just too random for me!

Who ever it was they told Morris to calm down with the track his flooding escapades.

Phil must have been devastated...

Heat one was perfect, drowned in water...

Then from then no one seemed to care...

And where were the 35 laps of the track with the tractors every four heats?...

And, we got to see hardly one "push off", and we also only got see him once ..

And that was the back of his head!!!

Speedway GP needs to give its head a wobble...

:D

Who ever was doing the track deserves a pat on the back, they got it spot on by far the best Prague GP in 30 years. If that was Phil you have to give him credit.

 No way that was Phil’s choice of track prep.He maybe prepared it but was told what too do.IMO

Slick on the inside, heavy on the outside...

A perfect track for  racing...

Those who cannot handle the "deep stuff" can ride the slick inside and  those who are more brave, can take those risks and ride the faster dirt line up against the fence ...

How Speedway should be...

He must have been tempted to jump in that full water bowser and drive it himself...:D

Holder scored more in the heats so gets more points for his 2nd place finish. One of the (very) few things that mKe sense tbf!

Yes, but... if Woryna had engineered his points and scored less in the heats, 7 or 8 like Lebedevs and Fricke he gets into Elsie Kew 1 and has the chance to score an extra point... crazy!

I must be missing something. The riders from each LCQ get the same as their counterpart in the other, just ranked by their heat score.

They both finished 2nd in their Elsie Kew's and Holder gets 12 GP points and Woryna 11.... If Woryna had scored less points in his heats to make sure he appeared in Elsie Kew 1 and came 2nd he would have got 12 GP points instead of his 11... or have I got that wrong?
