Gazc 7,098 Posted August 6, 2022 I tend to agree with MD regarding Chris Holder fantastic in his prime but sadly his prime is long gone. One serious injury too many and is no longer at that elite level. still a competent rider but no more than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whole GP Qualifiers need revamped.If a riderlike Chris gets there on merit there’s not much argument .IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time to let the new generation have their chance. I could not disagree more, if Holder want's to return to the GPs & qualifies, there's no reason he shouldn't be there. As for having accepted a wildcard in that final year, not sure what that means, as almost half of this year's field got wild card / reserve picks. Finally if the "new generation" want their chance, they need to beat the "old generation" and qualify for the GPs. Otherwise why should they be in there?
