British Final 13th May 2013

[Coventry_Bee 467]

It's all about people having there time, Carter, Tatum, Wigg,Smith, Loram, Nicholls, Harris and now it's Tai's turn. The main worry is that for to long Nicholls really didn't have much of a rival, Harris pushed for a few years but now Tai has well and truly established himself this season as top dog and will it be another spell of domination or will a young gun rise to the challenge.

[glasgowmicktiger 142]

cant see him ever winning it to be fair. Tai could dominate and think others will improve past Cook

who will improve past Cook? the lads only going to get better and he's proved he can ride any track and wins races on any track im looking forward to his rise up the ladder and wild card next year would be a good start.

It doesn't matter what track you have the meeting it, Harris/Nicholls/King/Woffinden vs Schramm/Howarth/Haines/Birks is always going to be a bit crap.

 

As for Cook, he may be older but he's go so little experience that at his current rate of improvement (4 point Pl average after 12 months on a bike, 7 point average the year after, 9/4.5 the year after, 9/7 the year after and now about 10/7), he's heading for the GPs in 2 or 3 years time, ok he'll be 28 or 29 but he'lk only have the riding experience of a 21 year old.

In fairness it's not showing his lack of experience, those around him have much more experience but are no where near his level. Quality not experience is what matters !!

The meeting results were about right!

Tai looking on good form again and very fast, even his motors look top notch, still impressing me loads this year.

Nicholls did well to pick himself up after a dodgy start.

Harris can still race.

Cook wow was impressed what a gater. (Please give Harris & Nicholls your gating gloves or some gating lessons)

 

The field did look lacking in quality in depth but that made it mildly entertaining and gave some newer guys experience.

but the maturity of a 28/29 year old who will understand that its not all about going out on the pull or on the p*ss and that the chance is there to be grabbed and not his right. That could make a very big difference

Funnily enough I wasn't being specific as imo there are (and have been) a few younger riders who have hit the 'big time' (however you define that) too soon to appreciate how lucky they are or without the guidance to help fulfil potential

[pawel115 251]

Congrats to Tai he in a top form this year, funny how Rosco mentioned in interview that Edward Kennett would benefit from riding on continent where there are large tracks and today Torun announced that Kennett is the new rider for them good for him.

[Coventry_Bee 467]

Why should Scott be at Cardiff? The race that counted? There wasn't one in case you missed it.

 

As above, there was no such thing.

 

As i said, if people are going to bang on about 2nd place getting the wild card slot, I'll bang on about Bomber being cheated out of 2nd place as he was 2nd highest scorer.

 

In SCB's theory Emil finished second in last nights GP with KK third.
