How many times has Norris rode at the highest level? :roll: Steve Shovlar says Norris is better than Stonehewer? I guess Carl's 3 seasons in the GP don't count then! OK, he finished outside the top 10 all 3 times but he did come close to staying in them once or twice and every time he had the chance to re-qualify he done it! :evil: What's Norris done away from Arlington this season...or any other season?! :twisted: If Norris is an automatic choice, then.....COME BACK JOE SCREEN - YOU'RE FORGIVEN! The selection of Havvy asks questions too. He didn't give a toss about his country last year at Peterborough and moaned and twined about the track all night without putting any effort in on track. :x Boy, with them 2 in the squad we aint got a cat in hell's chance. This is what it SHOULD be:- 1. Scotty Nicholls (obvious choice) 2. Lee Richardson (obvious choice) 3. Dean Barker (he's up for it, and his SS EL scores are good too) 4. Stoney (having a great season in the PL after a bad injury, getting better in the EL too) ------- 5. Joe Screen (Joe isn't having the best of seasons, but he is a racer and is a great rider on his day). Norris is largely useless away from home - he wasn't much good at Arlington in the GB v ROW match either. Havelock can only ride one line, the white one, and never attempts to go wide. I guess Havvy got picked though because of Middlo and his favouritism. Good luck to the lads, I hope they do us proud.

I thought Rafal Okoniewski was set for big things a year or two back?

This for me. Nicholls Richardson Barker Howe Harris Stonehewer Stu Robson Bird Norris S Stead Scott Nicholls - top Brit, top rider. Lee Richardson - surely a GP rider for years to come. Dean Barker - Deano is riding well all over this year and looks really keen and determined. David Howe - didn't do too well at Cardiff, but made up for that in Krsko and is starting to make big strides forward internationally. Chris Harris - Bomber has been fabulous in the PL and EL, but even though he didn't do much at Cardiff or in the GB v RoW match, he is very inexperienced at this level and the experience will only help. Carl Stonehewer - Stoney is getting right back to his best after that nasty smash in the GP last year and is also starting to score good points for BV. Stuart Robson - Robbo has been consistently impressive in the British Final in recent seasons and has been great for Coventry this season. Danny Bird - Excuse the pun, but Danny is flying in domestic racing this season and (like Harris), experience will only make him better. David Norris - Norris was poor against the RoW on his home track of Eastbourne tonight and although I think he should be in the squad, I think he should just be on stand-by. Simon Stead - Simon won the Brit u21 title again and has been a revelation for Workington in recent weeks, and has also had a bit of bad luck from time to time too. Like with Harris and Danny B, this will be a good experience.

would the top men travel up to west cumbria to ride for worky every week? doubt it seeing as most are southern based.
