OMG If this is true then this will be a big surprise!! Sorry BSI/IMG/FIM - EK is not a good choice IMO

I like this option!! The only way we will see another British World Champion is having 12 others in the same field Yes folks - it is my first post even though I registered in May!! So take it easy on me ok I cannot see Lindback getting in as Lindgren is ahead of him and already 2 other swedes in and cannot see why there should be a fourth. Lindgren finishing just outside the top 8 and next in line from the GP Qualifier (remember Lindback did not make the GP Qualifier final). Andersen is likely to be voted in too! A blip season and considering the popularity of the sport in Denmark then I can easily see a 3rd Danish contender, and he is the better option. A Brit will be in it, irrespective of most peoples thoughts that a Brit does not deserve to be in it (which I tend to agree with). Therefore which one? For me, it is one of three. For Tai, it is a season too early. If he had won the WU21 Final this year then I would have probably said they would go with him. Then it's between Richardson and Harris (as no other Brit comes close). I can see the argument for Richardson as he competes in the top leagues across Europe altho, as some others have already mentioned, will sicknote be there for all grand prixs?? Personally, Harris gets the nod for 1 more year and hope that with the introduction of Tony Olsson, we may get some dirt and decent track preparation to give Harris a fighting chance. Similar to Loramski, one of the most entertaining riders when dirt is on the track. So who will be Wild Card No. 4? If Adams hadn't called it day I would have liked to have seen him for another season. However, 3 Poles are already in (subject to Holta carrying on), 3 swedes (assuming Lindgren gets another vote), 3 Danes (assuming Andersen gets a vote too), 2 Australians (Darcy Ward likely to be a 3rd in 2011 if he wins WU21 again in 2010), a Yank and a Russian. IMHO, primarily for commercial reasons, it would not surprise me if a second Brit will get in (if not then I think it will be Zagar). So my final 4 (sorry - it's 6) are: Lindgren Andersen Harris Richardson or Woffinden or Zagar
