All three players with wild cards were crushed in the IMŚJ semi-finals at Güstrow. Matthews Uednicki was seventh, Lucas Bowman eighth and Matthew Gilmore tenth, but the Australian only appeared on the track four times.

Players who will serve as a replacement for the series have also been appointed: Peter Chlobak (Czech Republic), Yevgeny Sgdolin (Russia), Philip Hellström Bangs (Sweden), Norek Blodorn (Germany) and Drew Kemp (Great Britain).

On behalf of FIM, I wish One Sport’s competitors, organizers and promoters a successful struggle – said Armando Castagne, Chair of the FIM Track Racing Commission
