Not impressed that Holder got one.....figured his time was done after such a poor performance this year....
But three EX-World champions should tell you something....hopefully they won't be picked every year until they are 55 years of age!
To be honest (IMO) I cannot see any of the three EX-World champions being in the top eight next year and frankly that has to be the end!
Hancock may make it....but I think Nicki will be a shadow of his former self, he cannot afford another neck injury so very unlikely to mix it like he used to.

surprising wildcard picks,I would thought they might have gone with younger riders like drabik and fricke,I think nicki is taking a big risk in this level of racing

Dont see why Holder should get a pick, If a GP rider falls short of a top 8 spot due to injury, he should get a pick (NKI) over any that race a full season & fail ! Nicki puts 'bums on seats' as the panto villan, IF he races, it should be as a last chance WC |

Can see a lot of changes to speedway in 2018, Major changes in UK (?)
& with the 'strike' in Poland, could be a lot of changes in Poland & more riders freed up to race in UK (?)

They tried to put many restrictions on the riders, from how many personal sponsors they could have to how many stickers from sponsors they could have on their helmet to no name on the neck brace...and of course everything in and around those..they went overboard and the riders, well most of them, said go to hell........
I think it has all been resolved now but I don't know the results of that. Maybe tell does......

The translation from the meeting is'nt great !
But PZM new rules stop riders from getting sponsorship unless its approved by the club first, any sponsorship not approved, 1/3 gos to the club 1/3 to PZM
Injured riders will have there wages docked by 25%, (up to 50% if its a 'non speedway injury') & riders must pay for any medical tests
Polish clubs can recall a rider riding in any other country at any time.
Other limits that will cut/stop riders earnings or what in effect are 'fines'
12 rules, overall riders are not happy with.
At the riders meeting it was said NO riders will sign contracts untill these 12 points are revised
No other statement will be made untill talks with PZM on Monday (13th Nov)
