frigbo 518 Posted August 19, 2006 Heat 16 is looking a bit tasty. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Poor old Gaffer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted August 19, 2006 To be honest he would be slaughtered in every GP, he wouldn't be doing himself any favours. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course he would - he'll never, ever, as long as the sun is in the sky be GP standard. So why the hell do the Sky duo of Millard and Pearson keep talking about him as a GP star of the future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is also better than some of the others that have featured in the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickstart 0 Posted August 19, 2006 WOOOO HOOOOOO 13 [66.9]: Chris Harris, Kaj Laukkanen, Simon Stead, Piotr Protasiewicz GO BOMBER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Harris is looking handily placed for the final - 9 points after 4 heats. Only cloud on the horizen is, he's up against Andersen in his final outing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
salty 2,200 Posted August 19, 2006 Even that hope has gone now, another win for Bomber! giving him 9. Steady languishing on 5, bad last for Pepe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott0311 94 Posted August 19, 2006 3 more points for Bomber. 2 points from his last race (heat 17) behind Hans should give him a final spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwineTown 4 Posted August 19, 2006 "Gafurov was on his way to pass the entire field on bends one/two but got a long trip to the boards. Gafurov fought like an animal to gain a point but Kosciecha kept his cool for the point. " Good old Renat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) Can Gafurov throw a cat among the pigeons here? I think Holta will struggle for the final unless he gets a 1st or 2nd in Ht 16. Edited August 19, 2006 by Subedei Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Cat 0 Posted August 19, 2006 Even that hope has gone now, another win for Bomber! giving him 9. Steady languishing on 5, bad last for Pepe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Everyone goes on about Stead.. but Harris always out performs him at international level.. Bomber steps up..

Subedei 0 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scousedave 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted August 19, 2006 And it is 11 points for Harris - a worthy and noble performance from him. I don't think he'll make the final, but he's given a good account of himself. The competition was very tough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
