Last time they had an Aussie GP at the end of the season a few riders who had nothing to ride for become injured anyway. So you might find they need a few replacements.

But then what support do the Russian federation get from BSI/IMG?

Kim Nilsson? :/ Surely should have got someone like Vaculik, Laguta or Sayfutdinov in. Or Kildemand with the form hes shown in previous GPs

Worrall, Newman, Roynon and Starke would be a good 2,3,4 and 6. Just leaves a 1,5 and 7 to be found. You have a few options in your team this year for the number 7 jacket - probably Clegg. Leaving only a top 2 to be found. Maybe Nick Morris with his "connections" and a new assessed rider to look to built up an asset base. Might not get all of them but it would probably have more of a Cradley/Dudley flavor than some clubs will have in March with there 4 or 5 team changes.

But maybe he likes the fact BSI pay for him and a few mates to travel around the World. I wish someone would pay for me to go on 11 weekend breaks and a trip to New Zealand!

The saying, "You've got to be in it to win it" is also quite apt and Bomber is only of only 3 riders so far to make sure that is the case. Didnt finish last on Saturday did he?

He finished 8th in his qualifier, if it was not for wildcards he would have made it anyway. Go back over the years and a couple of times he's just missed out on qualifying by finishing 9th in the GP series or by just missing the cut-off in the qualifier. Without wildcards Bomber would have probably qualified more times than he didn't over the years anyway.

Age shouldn't matter. As for lack of intent, very hard to prove that one surely? And in the eyes of the law, ignorance is not an excuse.

Good, because it's wrong. As a former Somerset rider has hit the same heights in the past

It's no different to Smoli being first reserve last year and not Harris. They had no run-off. BUT they messed up the year before, they used the run-off for 2nd to 6th to also be used for the reserve places, incorrectly. As for Harris being "embarrassing - whats embarrassing, is that despite the fact he's "crap" in the GP, nobody was able to take his place last night. How embarrassing must it be to be for the 100s, if not 1000s of riders who failed to qualify for next seasons GP if Harris is so poor? Losers!!

But why should they? There argument is that finishing top of the league doesn't matter. It's the play-offs that matter. This thread and it's lack of interest support them.

Apart from the 2 times he has finished in the top 10 you mean? And so what, he has qualified, it might upset a few people but it makes him one of 11 riders to qualify - if the rest are so much better why are they not where he is tonight?

The complete lack of interest in this suggest nobody cares who finishes top. So next time so stuck in their ways moaner comes on here saying the play-offs are crap we'll have to point them to this thread

Surely they can find a more exciting Pole? He's dull.

I'm not. I have £20 e/w on him

Bomber, Doyle and Magic it is then. Surely thats ended Ward and Hampels GP days?

Covatti wins puts him through. Covatti second puts Magic through

Magic is 1st reserve at best

If Kildemand wins heat 18 he's first reserve and as Zagar will make top 8 then Kildemand is in the GP series! No runs offs for anything other than top 3/qualifiers. Reserves is done on countback

GP BOMBER!!!!!

At least if Covatti does make it with Harris then Harris won't finish last in the GPs

Ljung took it I think. Certainly someone else was promoted from reserve.

Kildemand needs to hope Zagar is in the mood and fancies beating Janowski But tonights results so far suggests that there nobody better than him who is capable of taking his place (apart from Doyle)

Fans bitch for years that Bomber gets picks. He then qualified last year (with a little help) and people moaned. So if he actually qualifies this year I fully expect people to continue to moan, they'll find a reason Go Bomber!

Heat 13 is going to be a BIG heat. Bomber, Pawlicki, Kildemand and Janowski. Thats going to decide an awful lot. Last in that race could be night over.
