Frankly, Bekker & Hernandez deserve a place in the GPFinal. They're only behind the top 2, Peter & Nadiia, yet another wonderful icedancer GBR has lost, and the Czechs.
IMO the Germans FD is overscored. It's a rehash of Fear & Waddell"s FD last season which he commentated on at Nebelhorn 21 and was very complimentary. They're using exactly the same 3 pieces from Nutcracker, and I don't feel it's as good an FD as Phebe & James' Vivaldi, who also have a very strong RD. I can't believe people are discounting them. I would have them 3rd at Junior Worlds.
