Well last night again proved there's not a single Brit who can mix it with the big boys. last night Zorro won it. hardly a top rider but he showed all the true grit that is lacking in british riders to pull off a shock win and qualify on merit for the 2010 GP series. No point in saying he isn't good enough/too old/brings nothing/a joke/don't like him etc etc etc because he qualified through all the rounds and then went and won the meeting last night. If ever a rider deserves it for true grit and determination it's Zorro. So whee does this leave the british camp? The backside of nowhere to be honest. harris and nicholls have proved themselves to be completely out of their depth at this level. harris had the hug advantage of riding on his home track last nght but never got close to the podium. Does he deserve another chance? No way. One fluke Cardiff win and that is it. never got close other than that. Niholls has had a torrid time this year and needs to be removed from the series. Time to bring in some fresh blood. My ersonal choice would be Woffinden or Kennett. Both are young and improving. They will do as well as Harris and Nicholls and will learn with a years experience in the series. No they won't win a round but they can hardly do any worse than the current two. Richardson had his chance and is no good at this level, Bridger needs another year before being considered. Plenty of time for him to improve. Thoughts?

Gp Challenge

Don't think its much to do with the dirt. The track is not great for passing and perhaps the event should ave been held where the racing would be a bit better. Rarely been to Brandon and seen loads of passing in dozens of visits. -

Bit harsh on Mango. He won't win a round or make a final but will do no worse than Ulamek, Walasek etc. He battles and can gate. Well pleased for him. -

Gutted I can't make it along tomorrow night but have family commitments. Good lineup, so much at stake I think racing will be really tough. Come on Noddy, have a good meeting thee for a change and get in those GPs to liven it up a bit. -

Grand Prix Challenge.

Why go to Somerset and a meaningless ( excpet to Lemon) individual meeting when you can watch the GP Challenge for a few quid more? I will be coming up to the GP Challenge and am looking forward to it. Should be a cracker with riders desperate to qualify. In fact I will be driving right along the M5 past Somerset and I wish Lemon a successful meeting, but there's no way I would chose that over the GP Challenge.
