Sounds erm, logical As for the other rule, surely a 0 should be a 0 whether you come last, fall, engine failure etc.

And getting on the rostrum how he did then, just shows exactly how much it means to him. You've done your country proud tonight Bomber, no doubt about it.

Or not? Fantastic Bomber, absolutely brilliant

Some of his moves tonight were just mad but the determination he showed was fantastic and the races made for great viewing. Superb night for Bomber, totally superb, one further next time?

Crumpy will pick up form for this one, he'll be as determined as anyone having not won in Lonigo when he was 1 of the favourites. Nicki P will be up there again I reckon, and I won't write Greg off this season at all and I expect him to be in the final aswell. For the other place in the final, I have a feeling Jagus will do the business and get there. Looked good in Lonigo and in his home country he should be even better.

If he doesn't ride, he doesn't score. I reckon he'll give it a go even if he only picks up 2 or 3 points because every point will count, especially after not scoring as many as he perhaps would have liked in Lonigo.

28th April I believe, the 1st one is in Lonigo.

So.. if Nicholls was given the same treatment as Andersen and pushed aside for a season, Nicholls would have to see if he wants to be in the GPs he has to do more work to earn it, rather than finish outside the top 8 but because he's the top Brit he's put back in? If that's what you mean then I do actually agree with you.

Doesn't matter who the manager is, we still simply do not have enough Brits coming through to put out a GB team that can win the world cup.

Seems like he has the correct attitude as well as being an awesome prospect, good luck for the CL next season Joe.

Good luck with that Congratulations Scott and Chris on getting in for next year

We thought 53 pages was a lot, we're going to run out of space

Come on Bomber!! Congratulations to him, dead pleased he's got in and I hope, even though he may not be top 8 finish at first he proves to everyone it was the right decision to include him.

Wow, 40 pages and still going strong. I think everyone has understood what point you are trying to make Subedei. You don't like Nicholls well fair enough don't support him and the British fans who obviously don't agree with you will. I'm sure Scott is losing no sleep whatsoever over the fact that you would see it so terrible for him to get into next year's Grand Prix series. Now this thread is boring, after about 20 pages you run out of things to say so obviously decided to repeat the same things over and over. Yawn. Edit - well my mistake, we are actually on 42 pages.

So a rider could finish 8th thus qualifying, have a rubbish season the next and finish 15th, but should deserve to get in the next year via wildcard entry because he qualified the previous year?

Fantastic. Hope he continues to ride as well as he as started, at last some new British talent coming through.

No way. Rico has had his chances and apart from the odd GP worth mentioning last year he has been pretty poor. Simon Stead isn't ready yet IMO and in the qualifier he got 5 points compared to our other Brits tally of 11(I think). Sadly despite his form I don't think Louis would have much of an impact on the series. More like it. Loram has been in amazing form this year and has beat some good riders along the way and can still mix it with the very best at top level. Bomber maybe doesn't look to have been on the same form as Loram but has improved and if you think at the time of the wildcards being announced last year not many would have him tipped to get selected, now most are wanting to see him there. He's a young, up and coming British rider who has been great this year and his league form, World cup form and also the qualifier shows this. Plus he can mix it with the best of riders and shows determination and races hard for every point.

Good on you Kingyfan, forget the Poles and Swedes and whoever else is in there. Get behind the British rider. Show em the Brits are going somewhere Danny

Wasn't he Polish last year Anyway, if and when Scott takes his place in the remaining 2 rounds he should(if fully fit)score the required points to take him into the top 8, if not he should get a wildcard...somehow I can't see only 1 Brit being included and if there is 2 I'd like to think Lee has had his chances....Bomber Harris for the 2007 GPs.

Nicki P could stop his moaning about Polish referees

So do I. I had to laugh when he said to Millard "It's not controversial mate, it's just the rules"!

The guy is a joke. Fair enough once is understandable, once a meeting say is a bit laughable. Every race in a GP is just irritating, I mean surely it isn't hard to watch a race and get your comments right, surely he has a programme of some sort to keep track of helmet colour racing order gates etc. so why does he constantly make the mistakes? Oh, and as for another thing tonight, I think we get the message Millard, Leigh Adams is from Mildura!!!!!

I think so No...but I wish it was!! Referee is a disgrace, one good decision all night, incidently he got it wrong in the last GP it occured in! Vardy, Ebdon, Horley, ANYBODY in the next GP please! Btw...was going to ask on the updates site but might get a better reply here...does anyone know who the referees have been for the other 7 rounds? Just as we seem to have Polish refs all the time and only 1 British referee I think Edit - Is Lindback back at Poole yet!? Isn't suffering tonight is he!

Well it's official he's champion, wish it could have gone right on to the last round but oh well. Never been a fan of Crump's but he has just been awesome, a class of his own, well done, well deserved, long may the entertainment from a fantastic rider, and also a rider who shows 100% to his British club also, continue!

He'd be more consistent than Richardson....at least he'd be the same all the way through unlike Lee who gets our hopes up in his first race and then just stops...
