Russian's have been ruled out FIM confirmed.

Bewley, Holder, Lindgren, Kvech

Guess or inside knowledge? Kvech can only be in for political reasons. Anders Thomsen would be a far better choice but he was always at risk with MJJ and Madsen also in. Tungate, Nillson and Kvech might all struggle to make an impression.

Its a guess, Kvech has a better GP average than Thomsen and is younger. Thomsen's polish league average is bit misleading becuse his team mates are weak and he his so good on his home track Gorzow. Mikkel Michelsen would be better pick imo, I expect Magic to be high on the substitue list

Given the amount of posts about magic SGP pages have put out, I’d say he’s no 4.

fresh blood and all that 

 

Although I like Magic and he’s had a decent season, I doubt he’ll ever get back to his best (third in the world in 2022). Having said that, I still think he would out score Tungate and Nilsson

Kvech has scored more points on average / GP than Thomsen so Kvech is the better choice.

Apart from one important fact that the FIM have the final say  on accepting a Wildcard nomination and there is no way Laguta or Safytudinov would be given the green light.

Exactly, so little point in discussing their possible inclusion until and if restrictions are removed.

Freddie should get the 3rd WC on past GP form, he was World #3 or 4 at time of his injury, struggled with full fitness since his return, and given he would be the only Swede in the game.

As it stands, the prospects would appear to be Thomsen, Janoswki, Kvech, Jacobsen, and maybe Michelsen for the 4th wildcard.  Thomsen has been brilliant all season in the Leagues but has not produced his best other than on one occasion in the GP's.  Janowski has had his chances to qualify and fallen just short, and Mikkelsen until recently has been below his best.  I'm inclined to think that the FIM mentality still holds a trace of geography over form being a consideration which will leave me unsurprised if the nod goes to Kvech or maybe Jacobsen.

I can't say I'm too unhappy with Janowski. While he's hardly an inspired choice, and isn't the most exciting, he's no worse than Thomsen/Kvech/Michelsen, etc, etc. It's quite surprising how big the drop off is from Lindgren/Holder/Bewley to the 4th pick, usually there's some youngster or someone having an exceptional season that gets mentioned, but there's nothing out there.

Kubera mk2 though. Will do great on the polish rounds then disappear for the other 8.

If they wanted to mix it up, Dougy would have been a great shout for slot 4, especially with Aussie being added to the calendar
