5 rides would seem about right. I don't agree that a reserve who is riding poorly can only have 3 rides. He is part of the team and should take his 4 rides.
13 from 16 for Freddy is very impressive and probably pays well. Really good to see Nicki have a good start. Love or hate him what a brilliant competitor he remains. Box office.
Hampel took a long time to get his form back after a bad leg break. Good to se him riding well again but probably there are too many Poles in the GP for a wild card.
Why can't those who don't want to watch and enjoy just switch off the TV.
I'm lost why anyone could be upset about money coming into the sport, riders getting paid to race, a good crowd and those who enjoy watching having a nice time.
Hans remains a very reliable top heat leader. If I were a team manager he would be the first rider on my short list to sign.
But Sargeant remains a huge disappointment. He doesn't get any better and still goes through the tapes quite a bit.
