No, I would assume not. Russia are still attacking Ukraine. In any case, do either of them want to do the GPs? Tied up to the issue of riding as a poles in the Polish league as well innit. And given there are only 3 wild cards, given that two of which must go to Holder and Bewley, that only leaves one for someone else anyway.

Would have thought Holder and Bewley are certainly in 

what happens if the Euro champion is Madsen /Mjj or Dudek does another wild card become available?

Bewley for sure, he showed last night that even when not 100% he can win races.   Sadly you have to assume Monster riders will get a pick, even if they have not done enough.   I am still not over the fact these people gave Woffinden a wildcard after his serious injury and relatively poor form for the previous two GP seasons,  ruining the opportunity for another rider, perhaps a rider with a long term future in the sport.

The top 7 are now decided and you can add Tungate Nillson Woryna and Lebedevs from the qualifier. Add Holder and Bewley leaves 2 places. The SEC winner is likely to be already qualified but there’s no entitlement for anyone rose from SEC to get a place so that leaves 2 picks. Not the Russians because of continuing contract terms so who else is worthy? Anders Thomsen maybe?

Lindgren? If he wants one, he should be in. He'd have been comfortably top 6-8 if he'd been fully fit all season, and is still entertaining.

One thing Tatum and his sidekick overlooked (perhaps not surprisingly) is that last night was probably Freddie Lindgren's last ever GP.  With Kim Nilsson in next year and no round scheduled for Sweden, little chance of Freddie getting picked.

Freddie is fairly popular plus he was injured most of the season so makes me think he'll get one with Bewley and Holder (if Holder is fit for next year). Think it could be between Thomsen and Jakobsen for the last one though knowing how the choices have gone in previous years wouldn't be surprised if Kvech got one.

Freddie's injury last season might save him given his level of consistency over the last 4-5 years.

 

Its a poor indictment of speedway in Sweden though

Bewley holder will definitely be picked 

Would not be surprised if Lindgren gets a pick .He s always raised his game when it s come to the gps and I think he s still can mix it at this level .

Thomson has won a gp so would imagine that will stand him in good stead 

Michielsen could be in with a shout 

Kvech i personally he s below the standard of the above riders but they could throw him back in 

Will be interesting who gets the picks
