woody-the-bee 0 Posted August 19, 2006 I agree Harris is a good improving rider, but its not fair to Simon Stead for people to say he is nowhere near good enough for the GP when there are worse riders than him who have taken part in the Series. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And they were nowhere near good enough either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salty 2,202 Posted August 19, 2006 I'd say the final will be: Andersen PK Jagus Holta A 2nd won't do for Harris - Holta has an easier final heat and will win it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Both off Gate 1, from where Holta just ran a 3rd. Up to Stead to do his fellow Brit a favour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted August 19, 2006 And they were nowhere near good enough either <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Absolutely. And that was probably back in the days when a GP had more than 16 riders. Stead will never, ever be 16-rider GP standard. Not ever. Never. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) Holta makes light work of gate 1 to claim a final place. Stead helps himself to another last place. Edited August 19, 2006 by Subedei Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Concrete Cowboy 0 Posted August 19, 2006 I wonder if this performance will get Harris a wildcard place ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickstart 0 Posted August 19, 2006 I wonder if this performance will get Harris a wildcard place ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its been a tough meeting for Bomber tonight and it might just earn him a wild card. He deserves it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frigbo 518 Posted August 19, 2006 If Britain are to get one, this should put Bomber in the box seat for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salty 2,202 Posted August 19, 2006 I wonder if this performance will get Harris a wildcard place ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If Gb gets a 2nd spot, Bomber should get it. He's not out yet though, Jagus could run a last!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted August 19, 2006 No wonder he's so popular (when he shows) at Swindon: "Gafurov tried a "wall-of-death-ride" to pass Laukkanen but didn´t make it." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's not out yet though, Jagus could run a last!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can't see PePe beating Jagus under any circumstances other than a Jagus fall or engine failure - the Poles will team ride if Jagus is in trouble.

scousedave 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Just so long as we have established Simon is better than some other Grand Prix riders, past and present.. Thats all... The same goes for Chris Harris too. He would do no worse (possibly better) than some previous riders in the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hazzman 72 Posted August 19, 2006 If Andersen gets in top 3, then Harris will get wild card slot as the 4th slot will be vacant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Just so long as we have established Simon is better than some other Grand Prix riders, past and present.. Thats all... Present? Erm, he's beat no current Gp riders tonight, as theres only 2 riding and they're only reserves, Hans Andersen and Ryan Sullivan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
