  1. If being the 13-15th best rider in the World is an embarrassment then what is Kildemand for not even making it? The embarrassment is all the people getting digs in at a guy who has qualified by right for 3 season in a row now!
  2. GPs are different rules. Luckily for James Sarjeant he doesn't ride in the GPs or the SWC yet!
  3. TBF websites is one thing I am an expert on
  4. Anyone know if Drop a cog will be there tonight?!
  5. Speedway has always been bad with the Internet. I believe it's part of Go Speed that AP Media do most sites now. They're safe, solid sites that's don't push any limits but the work and are functional so you can't really fault them. The GP site is very boring for what it is. Again, safe and solid but the GPs imo should have something a bit more extreme and exciting. I'm sure someone at Monster could do something!
  6. TBF, any top rider should be playing the percentages. If you've already qualified for the semi and your nearest rivals are falling to bits then 3rd might be good enough. But saying that, Tai strikes me as a guy who'll give chase but stay well within his limits. If that gets him an extra point great, if not then there's always the next race. Harris is never in a position to play the game, he has to take all he can get.
  7. If there's not a lot to pick between two riders then I'd say it's fair enough to pick a rider who hasn't had a chance before, or has had less chances. As it is, Lindback is the obvious choice, don't see how anyone else can have a claim to the place.
  8. I like the thinking, Leicester won at Lynn last week so just get the Leicester team in as guests (I know Doyle wasn't there)
  9. I thought it was just me! I agree, it's a terrible site
  10. Best rider there but he score the same as Ostergaard in the heats then lost to him in the final. Slightly insulting towards Ostergaard
  11. I believe it's only in the PL that bonus points are not paid. As for team riding, we've sadly just lost the best rider in recent years for team riding, Darcy Ward. It was almost as if it was his way of showing off, "I'm so good I can even make my team mate win too. Ha!" There's a few riders who can sit behind a team mate, Garrity will do it if he can for a start. But proper actually helping your team mate is a lost art. Nicholls and Janniro were brilliant when they were at 1 and 2 for Coventry. Many a rider was shoved around by one or the other on the 1st bend for the other
  12. So we have had Sky TV interviewing managers for 16 years now and asking for their opinion on an incident and you have just decided you don't like it?
  13. He said it to the TV camera when asked his opinion. It's nothing like footballers and referees. And I'm not fan of Havvy either.
  14. The rules have changed. As thats not what they say at all. I can't find it and I set people the challenge a few days ago and nobody has been able to find it either. Riders just have to be lined up, stationary etc until the start marshal walks away and the green light comes on - technically, at that point they can do what they like. Theres also nothing in the rules that says a rider can be excluded for jumping numerous times. Quite simply a starting offense is, "if any part of the motorcycle touches or breaks the tapes after the Green Starting Light has been displayed is considered a Starting Offence"
  15. I know. Bomber is crap in the GPs. But nobody else can get in ahead of him, how crap are they? Embarrassment? Surely what's embarrassing is the queue of riders incapable of taking this useless riders place off him. If only any of them were good enough!
  16. Bomber has made as many GP podiums this season as Greg Hancock in 3rd place!
  17. Because he's got some ambition and wants to try and be the best. If only a few others had that attitude eh? Lindback HAD to have a wildcard.
  18. Lawsons was signed on 6.5 so has actually gone backwards. Odd as he had a great start to the season in the EL - yet in the PL it was the opposite, started badly but come good.
  19. I didn't think anyone in the UK had the rights? Dorna have them but they are just a reseller so if Sky wanted them they'd probably do a deal. The issue with Sky is they have quite high standards and would want a decent production. Where as Eurosport take anything slightly decent.
  20. If prefer Hans to ride as he has done the last two days and stuff Sarj up that riders he has done the rest of the season! It's not as if Danny or Joonas are know for their team riding and Bomber has always been poor at it too.
  21. Except it's not cheating because there is no such rule!
