GRAND PRIX CHALLENGE
 
EDDIE MENDOZA, JACEK KLECHA and ARNE KARLSEN all produced consistent displays in one of the toughest meetings of the year to fill the top 3 spots and seal qualification for next season's GP series - scoring in each rider on their way to double figure scores.  The other two automatic qualifying spots went to JAKUB BARAN and LEON JEPPESEN who picked up 9 points apiece to scrape through ahead of a pack of 8 riders all ending within 2 points of the duo in another fiercely contested GP Challenge.  For Mendoza and Klecha it was somewhat against the pre-meeting odds that they cruised through - the bookies had predicted progress for Karlsen and Jeppesen and expected Baran to be there or thereabouts.
 
For the rest all eyes then turned to the question of who the GP organisers would choose as wild card picks to add to the 13 confirmed names for next season's GPs.  In the end the decision seemed relatively straightforward with both ERLING TROELSEN and STEEN ERIKSEN having been unfortunate in the GP Challenge meeting and they were quickly confirmed as being the two picks.
 
The 7 from here will therefore join world champion Rafal Aranowski, Louis Joossens, Petr Marko, Ray France, Jack Hagen, Enzo Innacone, Boguslaw Kryznowek and Fillippe Chong as the permanent GP riders who will battle for next season's world title.
