SCB

Really? Because most people think being accused of/being found guilty of sexual offences, drug offences and drink offences make you a right hoot! <end sarcasm>

Which amazes me. How much does it actually cost to ride in a GP compared to a SEC meeting? When someone put the prize money on here and compared the two, there was nothing in it. The speed Emil showed yesterday suggests his kit is up to it so it's not like he's saving a few £££ on bikes at the moment. Shame someone, somewhere can't get him to change his mind. For me, he's a bigger loss than Darcy.

Zmazlik away from Gorzow would barely score a GP point. Vaculik I accept but where is he in the GP qualifiers? Doyle and Janowski are not in the SEC either so you can hardly have them can you? Iversen and Ward are in the GP series, frankly thats more ludicrous that your Zmarzlik claim! As for Thomas Jonasson, perleaseee! Pedersen has seen better days? Yes he has but 3rd in the SEC, currently 3rd in the GP standing - you're right, kick him out, there are clearly 12 over riders no in the GP who are better than him. The only rider not in the GP who would be challenging for the title is Emil. After that you do have Kildemand, Laguta and Vaculik who be top 8ish. But your claim that there are more top riders out of the GP than in them is madness. Of those you have listed in your post I'd say Emil, Laguta and Vaculik are true but then you've tried to kick out Nicki and argue Zmarzlik and THJ should be in there.

As they did the screw over Troy Batchelor when they give Andreas Jonsson his place. Then to make matters worse gave Ales Dryml his first reserve slot. #IfYourFaceFits

Im sure BSI only own the rights to the GPs themselves and not the qualifiers.

Doyle, Pawlicki and Kildemand for me please. Mind you, Harris, Mads and Klindt would be a giggle

Nicki was about 22 though so a very unfair comparison. The two best 16yo's were Ward and Woffy who got just over bad just under 9. David Howe got 7.5 in 1998. Can't think of any other 16 year olds who got over 6.

So a few people have moaned a fair bit now that there's no recognition for the team that finishes top of the league so shy don't the fans do something? All that's needed each season is a modest trophy and 10ish medals for each of the riders in the team. £100 a year would be enough. Wouldn't take many fans to put in a small donation. At the end if the season (or once a team has finished top of the league) a group of fans could be picked/selected (by ballot if too many) to award the trophy. As for the name I like "the fans trophy" but we could use it to remember Lee Richardson or any other rider that's agreed. It's probably a little too late for 2014 (but still possible) but we could do something for future seasons. If the fund makes too much money we could donate it to the SRBF.

Hmmmm

Sayfutdinov, Laguta and Kildemand make Pedersen look like a pussy cat - I'll be hugely upset if this race doesn't involve some serious contact and an exclusion

How do you work that out? Emil is missing and while I think Laguta and Kildemand would be top 8 the best riders are still in the GP in the main. Any year you care to pick, ever, has had a rider or two missing.

Its been brilliant hadn't it? Didn't "get" the SEC last season but I've lived this years, enjoyed every round, been brilliant stuff.

Fair play to Kildemand there in heat 13. That was taking mad to new levels. Look dead and buried for a while.

We need a Russia or two, or 3 even, on the GP series. If Emil, the Lagutas and AN Other fancied the SWC could anyone stop the Russians?

Just chatting to my 5yo niece and "we" decided we would like to see Gollob go out on a high.

TBH, what he's doing at 16, 17 or 18 it's clsoe to irrelevant. If Ward gets banned for 2 years now, comes back to the GP in 3 years time and never really gets over it while Robert takes until he's 25 to hit the big time and then wins 5 World titles in his 30s then Robert will have been the bigger success. It would be nice if someone could work with him now to fix his gating - rather than doing a Bomber and waiting until he's 30!

I struggle with this. It's a World Title so should be the best riders. But if there very little between two riders in terms of ability but one is more exciting and charismatic then I might be tempted to lean towards him. Very difficult.

Bjerre won't get a wildcard. He's not very exciting on or off track where as there are other rider who are - even if he is better than them.

Isnt the track now pretty much taken over my woodland?

If Kenneth Hansen wants to make allegations like that then he need to explain them. Someone should be dragging him into an office and asking him what eh knows. If he doesn't know anything he should be suspended for bringing the sport into disrepute.

Have the BSPA ever turned anyone down?

He has got 5.5 in the EL as a second string. Thats converts to about 6.8 in the PL. He's a good rider, I've said before that the speed with which he throws a bike into a bend is phenomenal and once he learns to keep that speed out of the bend to he's going to be a great rider. But Darcy Ward at 16 he aint - sadly.

http://www.peterboroughpanthers.co/news.php?extend.2233.2 The headline clearly states co-promoter.

Are you kidding? Ward got 9 in the PL. Lambert would do well to get 7.

SPEEDway. Not FASTway. 1mph is a speed as much as 100mph is a speed.
