Dont want your kids hearing swearing from Nicki, but ok for their "pop star idols" to come out with it all the time.

Was it that, or a court case he had to attend first that had a decision in that

But give Woffinden a place just cause he's british, well thought out.

NZ'ers Sean Mason 18 not eligible for National League (Race no 21, blue black kevlars) Jamie Moohan 23 not eligible for National League (Race No 14) Ryan Terry Daley 17 eligible for National League born in UK lives in NZ (Race No 5) Bradley Andrews 13 (rides 250 only) eligible for National League in a few years NZ born with British Passport (Race No 88, Yellow, White, Black Kevlars) contact me if you want to get hold of any of them and I can pass it on.

cheers

what time does this meeting start?

why bother with the post

well that'll help attract them, think you need to talk it up not down

Yeah Sean Mason, 18yr old was second reserve in NZGP, just missed out going through to U21 semi finals in Netherlands round. Looking for a premier league place next year.

second half - 3 NZ riders on track. Most kiwis riders at a meeting in a long time.

It also gives a bench mark to all national league riders when they come up against Adam to see how much better they need to be to progress into the other leagues. Pretty much the same can be seen if you look at Bomber in the Elite league and the GP's

More British riders isn't always better, it's making the the ones you've got better riders

don't know but USA are

think USA look stronger

I couldn't make it either, had to stay in NZ. Everyone is raving about the place the set up, professionalism and the riders. Don't know why all the whinging about no british riders, There was plenty of talent there.

get rid of team averages, then yes you will have a couple of rich teams with all the best riders but the others will be competitive amongst each other. it will bring back loyalty both ways (rider/club/fans), more team riding. those couple of rich teams will boost gate sales when they travel away. Run a proper 3 league system with going up/relegation for top and bottom teams change back to 13 heat league matches with a proper second half as compulsory with development riders

one step at a time, but that may happen sooner than I thought.

And then in NZ we have a system, but even less riders than GB. 21 riders 8-15yrs in the whole country. Of that only four 250's 3 in the South Island and 1 in the North Island.I've had to fly my son 13yr old to GB just to get him some races against other 250's to see if we are on the right track and to see how he compares against others and see if he is as good as others say.

Its hard to know which is the right and wrong way I agree. The Danes dont let them on 500cc but there are 300 of them racing in 3 leagues. And 14yr olds in adult leagues may not be right, but a different system needs to be had so the superior rider is taken care of, instead of the average rider. But the worst thing is to sit back and do nothing and see what happens until he is 16. Then say if only we had done what so and so did. Dont think I criticise British Youngsters, Some British Fans yes.

dont think you get it. If you are at the top of the tree for your age, winning everything by half a lap is not what you need. Boredom from going around and around on your own, taking the same lines every corner, there's no pressure. You need to ride against riders that are better than you so that you can learn from having to chase, be in close contact. Waiting for 16 or for the rest to catch up is going backwards.His momentum is there to learn and keep improving. The Russians the Poles the Danes aren't sitting there waiting for riders to turn 16. The problem is Robert Lambert is at the correct level he needs to be, its everyone else that is below par and why British riders aren't in the top level in numbers. The good thing is his parents can see far enough ahead to know they have to explore other avenues to keep up with the real competition
