Firstly, where Zagar gone?

Secondly, I love Chris Harris but what the hell?

[Little-End 4]

Ah well , Thats like a double edged Sword for Bomber , I would have liked him to duck out for now and get his Career back on Track , something has gone amiss over the last Season, And I think it would have done him good to concentrate on his League stuff etc ....

 

He may not want a Wildcard anyway , Especially if you have to miss the EL this year ?

(If you suffer from GP itis ?)

 

 

Lucky

why is nicholls still in it hes never done anything good in gps, harris deserves another chance but this should be his last chance

[Red&BlackAttack 0]

Zagar wasnt in last year and they obviously thought he wasnt worthy of a place this year.....

 

And Harris is..... lol!!

 

The may aswell of put Lukas Dryml back in!!

[SpeedwayTShirts 308]

Nicholls outshone Harris at every opportunity over 2008, Harris is living his Speedway Career on the repuatation of the one win at Cardiff in 07. If anyone deserves to be dumped out it was Harris, and thats coming from someone who doesn't even like Nicholls !!

[Adder 94]

I thought Zagar had already been confirmed as a Wildcard.....and Harris hadn't got one.

 

Something smells about this sudden change.

Why does Harris deserve another chance,yes he has won 1 more GP than Nicholls but that has proved to be very much a flash in the pan.He performances this year have been patchy to say the least.At least Nicholls was in with a chance right up to the lasp GP so there is an arguement for his inclusion.Might be wrong but wasnt Harris a GP pick this season,Nicholls on the other hand got in on merit so he deserves a GP pick.

the 2 brit wild cards should have been Kennet and Woffinden!

Have you anything to back up that their worthy of GP spots?

 

Kennett was rather poor at Cardiff when leading and being passed with ease, so imo he isnt anywhere near ready for the GPs. As for Tai, he's only a boy, he wouldnt even be able to fund it let alone be up to the standard, as shown in the World U21 final.

That's one Brit and an Aussie.

[D.I.G. 0]

We Brits should just think ourselves lucky to have two riders in, could so easily have been only one.

Should only be as one Harris scarcely deserves another go,interesting to see if he takes up this offer although one would presume that he has been sounded out but with the no GP rider rule in this country it will be interesting to see if Harris makes another failed attempt to ride in the GPs.Would he not be better becoming our no1 first then look to the GPs.
