Silver Bee 57 Posted September 19, 2009 Technically Zorro only gets an 8 point average if a promoter applies for a re-assesment. Hampel, according to the rules, would have been 8 had this happened last season, but it didn't and he came back on his old EL figure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colincooke 0 Posted September 19, 2009 Did i read in the star that Zorro wants british racing next season....and does qualifying mean his average re-assesses to an 8 point figure?..if so thats gonna put paid to that altho one suspects he may want to change that plan now?!...btw good for him didnt see that one coming I find this a little odd don't you. This year he said no cos of too many meetings & now he has the GP on top. I assume he will have a new Swedish club next year ,so what gives way. Not taking anything away from his performance, he was magnificent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,862 Posted September 19, 2009 Totally crap post, if Zorro can win the meeting then he deserves to be in the GP next season,if you don't like it,don't watch it !!!!!!! All the very best in next seasons GP Zorro, I for won hope you do well. This is the GP series not some little veteran league for old boys go before they retire. Zorro is a nice guy and a good "team player", good to have in you team even if his scores isnt always that good. I think he was one of the reasons that my now folded team Smederna actually performed better then many expected and i liked that he was back where he belonged. But the GPs is no place for him or any other rider of the same standard/career position. He is already inconsistent in the leagues so how are he going manage a full season - Budgetwise, GP team wise and etc. I am pleased that we now might have 3 swedes in the GPs next season but not so pleased if Zorro's qualification means that Antonio wont get a WC. Zorro also intend to ride in all three leagues next season so he should realize his limits. he will hardly be a better rider next year or will he? Or perhaps we should kick all the young ones out and bring in more oldies like Hamill, Loram, Trick, Ermolenko, PK? That will surely increase the interest in the GPs. If you dont like younger riders in the Gps well too bad for you then but you dont have to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigFatDave 258 Posted September 19, 2009 We all safrican americaned at the images of Terry (Mr Security) taking on that Pole. If you know Polish speedway you would know that the Pole would have been surrounded by Men in Black if he was back home - but in in Blighty we have 'Terry'!!!! The Poles certainly know Security; the Big Fella in charge at Leszno for SWC was built like a Brick - erm - Outhouse! Mind you. I wouldn't have minded being manhandled by some of the Sheilas in Black - Women in Uniform - Beat me Whip me Spank me make me write bad checks - OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! Any of youse mob who haven't been to Poland yet and aren't too sure how to go about it could do worse than have a chat with the Girls and Boys from Know-All Tours, I hear their Brewery Tour has to be experienced to be believed!! Mine's a Lech, thanks very much. Oh, all right, better make it two, its a long way to the bar and I wouldn't want to wear you out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bazaar3 0 Posted September 20, 2009 QUOTE (bazaar3 @ Sep 19 2009, 02:26 PM) Got to be joking steve. Tai should be nurtured and given time. He is nowhere near this level yet. Plenty of riders who are above him and in better form like Zagar, JD, Richardson, PK, Protasiewicz, Watty and even Adam Shields. Plenty of time for Tai yet. Not joking at all. those rider you picked have nothing to do with who gets a BRITISH nomination tho! I agree there is plenty of time for tai and it might be a season or 2 to early, however think you will find him in the GP`s next season Richardson not a Brit then steve.... Harris is obviously No 1 but tbh I wouldn't put no other Brit rider in the GP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bazaar3 0 Posted September 20, 2009 This is the GP series not some little veteran league for old boys go before they retire. Wash your mouth out with soap and water.... Do the names Rickardsson, Nielsen and Nilsen ring a bell. Even Sam Ermolenko on half decent machinery would still be easily good enough for the series. Zorro has got better whilst the standard around him has dropped. He deserves his place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Is Zorro as good as those? Is other riders like PK, Max Screen as good as those just because they are the same age? 'Its different for different riders. I admit that Greg and Gollob and Adams (at least in the leagues for him) are still good but that doesant means all riders at their age is good too. or does it?

I think this needs some closure.It doesnt matter what you , me , or anyone else thinks.He qualified, with the likes of Lindgren , Bomber, et al in the field.How he prepares for next season due to the GP's is up to him , and no doubt he will do things the best way he sees fit.How would you like to be told in your job that you are too old , even though you have just seen off all the competitors ? Do you see what i'm getting at ? Give the man a break.At the end of next season , it might well be proven that he wasnt up to it.But , he qualified , whilst other riders with 'more ability/younger' didnt.You cant win the raffle if you dont buy a ticket, he did and good luck to him.

SCB 15 Posted September 20, 2009 A victory for Parsloes and his constant rants about the qualifiers should be more open. Zorro in the GPs after haing Ulamek and Walasek this season are a good arguement for nominations. Just dont let the person who picked Harris and Nicholls pick again!
