They are quite right to decline after the last 2 Saturday debacles, thought there would have been a Monday debrief on the website about changing the weather apps they use 😂😂😂

Regulate the engines to max 10,000 revs is the answer but don’t do it by putting the rev limiter set at 10,000, it needs to be so the engines won’t get up to 10,000 revs, limit cam lift to 10mm,maybe smaller inlet ports or a 2 valve head which isn’t actually that costly, sealed engines could work with cooperation but only to ensure only homolgated parts can be used, no 2 riders have same engine characteristics so a standard one size fits all wouldn’t work, gearing also wouldn’t work because although they may use a similar ratio they all use different configurations to achieve it, if you look at someone like MJJ he uses really small back sprockets probably in high 40s but will be using 13 on countershaft to achieve it but it will still be same ratio as others

You sure he was going to be riding this evening?

Not a fan of him kicking out at Bartosz like that in the GP

Horse power. Farmers used them years ago on the land.

Correct, we both mean the same thing, it's 2 fold. Rider's & engineers are constantly looking for more power & speed. While at the same time, rider's want less & less dirt & water on tracks, in the name of "safety". Both are counteractive hence the lack of broken track records. In fact, most races are now 2-4 seconds slower than 15-20 years ago. If seeled engines are not an option, the FIM could introduce a rear sprocket regulation, max of 57-58 teeth. This would force riders & tuners to look for torque rather than horse power, this would make bike that more adaptable for all conditions.

And me too.

I’ve got a decent alarm clock if they need waking up.

Rushen rested, Charlie Southwick rides.

I could join the crew if voted in

Is there a problem then?

Well volunteered

While disappointing that Dan Thompson and Tom Brennan aren't in the draw proper, it is absolutely correct that the British Final finishing order is used for GB nominations.

I'll respectfully disagree, if they're good enough, should've finished ahead of Harris in the British final. Glasgow promotion will likely be pleased. You could argue Robert Lambert is the one "taking opportunities away" as he's almost guaranteed a wildcard if he doesn't finish in the GPs top 6! But he earned the right to choose.

Making a rearranged meeting on that night a no-go. The previous week (next Saturday) was offered to both Scunthorpe and Redcar -- both declined. Week after is Belle Vue GP. Roll on June 13th!

Correct British final places decided the qualifiers.

Really it’s a compete joke and a farce Harris been given an opportunity while you’ve got Dan Thomson and Tom Brennan as meeting reserves. Two guys who should really be in the meeting. Harris just as bad accepting the gift.

The GB picks appear to be in the order of British final positions, which is exactly how it should be imo. Robert Lambert (1st), Chris Harris (4th) Adam Ellis (5th) & Anders Rowe (6th) in qualifiers. Reserves Dan Thompson (7th) & Tom Brennan (11th). I'm guessing Wright (2nd) misses out through injury, Bewley (3rd) thinks he'll finish in the top 6 of the GPs & King (8th), Cook (9th) & Flint (10th) didn't want to be 2nd reserve?

Now it is confirmed that Thomsen replaces Lindgren.

Any discount wouldn’t be good enough for me. Don’t want to miss any races for the price

Dare I ask how the GB picks were made?

Palovaara & Fredriksen riding in GP Qualifier at Glasgow May 30th

And that address is 10 Downing Street london

How intriguing, thank you

Back in the day if you put your leg over the bike it meant you were pretty much gaurenteed to put your leg over the other meaning 😂
