Sorry I am talking in league racing in Britain in the old days ,I don't understand your 8point swing in a single Race comment.

Thanks

In the tac sub days you were not gifted 3 EXTRA points for winning.You still could only score a 5-1.

To you nothing ,I am interested who owns his contract as a matter of fact., <personal abuse removed>

Who actualy owns Sebs contract,I thought Berwick bought him from Swindon(but could be wrong)

Agree maybe great tv viewing for any sports fan watching but doubt it will pack the terraces.Riders touring around looking at their bike to gain an advantage is not what the sport should be about.If Bjerre had slowed to finish 2nd it would have been a total farce in hindsight with the rules he should have.It certainly would have not been the "fantastic viewing " that the TV companies want.

Good to see Ricky getting some Heat wins .

Poland to for me.

He was a class act another rider who seemed to get held back by his Polish Club.Still gets the odd decent score.

Surely Middlo could have manipulated the scoring with barker and Bridger later in the meeting to bring in Tai,without dropping Harris.Not that it would have made much difference but at least try and use the rules to your best advantage.Hancock is hardly a pushover to use a tactical against.

I am not belittling Cook who has done well to get to the standard he is at the present,and I certainly not bitter regarding him,I am making the point that he is no better than the others barring Tai,and if he performs poorly which in my opinion he did at Kings Lynn his position will always be vulnerable .It is Professional Sport you have to perform,like he states it will help him in the future.He can make excuses for Monday but in my book that's all it is.Every rider comes on tell and gives the same story line.I claim he won't be future GP rider but that is just my opinion and does not belittle his achievements up to now.Hope that is clearer.

Its not a forward step in their career for Foriegn riders to ride in UK these days ,but it would be for Brit to ride abroad.The off -track antics of of the Young Brits in recent years MIGHT tell us something though.

Just an opinion,any rider apart from Tai has a chance of being replaced if they have a poor meeting as they are all the same standard.the poster said Cook beat Holder as an example ,I say Barker beat Cook at Armadale a couple of weeks ago so what does that prove.

I am aware of how sh#te the standard of the Elite League is .Holder must have had his set-up wrong!!!! I do have sympathy for Cook and some of the young riders but in World terms they are nowhere good enough and I Personaly don't see any of them that are around the now making it. Excluding Ellis and Lambert who are still really young.

Must have got his set-up sorted out.Wait a minute this is Premier League. What will he tell Kinvig tomorrow.

BUT who will be fresher for the night out in Prague, my money is on Barker and Bridger.

My thoughts exactly.

No I agree with that thought.

you have single handed just converted 99 % of this forum into GB fans.

Aussies are saying there's Tai and to a lesser extent Harris but there's points to be gained from Barker and Bridger .Hope the Latvians shock both of them which they may be capable.certaianly spoilers big time.

Thats the way it goes if you have had a poor season.He is quite right regarding challenges why should he lose money paying riders who have not produce the goods during the season.

Trouble is everybody has "fast" bikes,its the rider on board that really matters.Lets face it Middlo Team management leaves a lot to be desired but the end result will be the same .Injuries and politics have ruined other Teams chances but GB does not have the riders to be genuine contenders .

Spot on ,no disrespect to Josh but I think that sums it up

Unfortunately due to the the duration of the races there is not enough time for him to generate that speed you talk about.
