Enjoyed the meeting, enjoying the result even more, so proud of the lads. Bomber and Scotty superb, Rico got there in the end and did a great job, Steady and Tai did their bit.. all round great team effort Looking forward to Saturday.. we won't be fancied, that's for sure but after tonight, who knows.. race off should be a good one too.

EL snobbery! PL track, team manager from a PL track.. a bit too close to slumming it in our inferior league? Unbelievable.

My dad said before it was announced this is what he wanted to see and I agreed, the "top 4" was never really going to include anyone else and of the rest, Stead is probably the best call and I'm not 100% sure off the top of my head how he goes at the NA but it should suit him I'd have thought. Absolutely no arguments from me.

Went to Cardiff yesterday for the 3rd time and it was superb as per, but with some good racing thrown in aswell this year. Fantastic winner, Chris you've deserved that all season and are an absolutely awesome addition to the series and long may it continue. Little bit of controversy on track, few handbags thrown so all in all it was a thoroughly entertaining GP for several reasons. Entertainment was poor though, Ruth whatever her name is attempting to sing the classic that is Highway to Hell was painful and the bloke who sings every year never sounds any better either. The PA was pretty bad on the first bend, upper tier, but not as bad as when I was on the back straight upper tier last year so that was an improvement at least. Shame the people who can't handle their booze or temper didn't stay at home though because I didn't pay £40 to watch idiots chucking punches and beer all over the place. That mob in the next block to me (few blocks round from the pits on the first bend, as I said above upper tier) want to be ashamed of themselves and as for the stewards.. you'd been intervening all night with this lot yet before the final nobody was there until it had all kicked off like that.. poor show by all involved.

It was announced the date for Cardiff '11 will be announced tomorrow night at the Sky meeting.

Old team: 1 Jason CRUMP (50,000) 6 Nicki PEDERSEN (45,000) 10 Hans ANDERSEN (35,000) 12 Chris HOLDER (35,000) 13 Jaroslaw HAMPEL (25,000) Hans Andersen and Nicki Pedersen - 80k out Kenneth Bjerre and Greg Hancock - 75k in so new team: 1 Jason Crump 4 Greg Hancock 8 Kenneth Bjerre 12 Chris Holder 13 Jarek Hampel (capt in Torun please ) Hope that's alright, thanks a lot Ballinger

Mine got shoved through with the post, no signature required or anything But at least they're here, only ordered them last week so in very good time

Nope as we have quite a few in South Yorkshire, as for airhorns, I'll probably be buying one beforehand this year and if need be I can hide it in my bag, if they're that bothered, they are a bit of a rip-off inside the stadium.

Even though we're only a few rounds in, it's looking good now, really starting to get interesting with the top 8 and top 3 looking quite open right now and I hope it carries on right until the end, as good as riders like Crumpy, Nicki etc are, I'm not a fan of one rider running away with it from the word go and the others trying to play catch up all year. Bring it on. Get well soon Emil aswell. Nasty looking crash and I hope his recovery is as quick and painless as possible.

Think I'll have to go with Crumpy again please

Pleased with that winner, go KB

Hans leaned onto Bomber way too much, Hans clearly at fault whether there was intent or not. Don't think Bomber had much choice, think they'd have both come off whatever he did.

Crumpy for this one please

Excellent GP, loved it from start to finish. The final was shaping up superbly before the crash (speaking of which, going by their comments afterwards, was I watching a different race to Havelock and Nicholls!?) so it was a shame that was cut short but what a GP on the whole. Crump brilliant, as was Hampel but I expected a good one from him and I thought Kolodziej was very good aswell. Bomber had a good first 2, was nowhere in the next 2 and then did well enough to just get through to the semi-final where he was never really in it. Tai was on the pace at times but didn't look to have the same speed or control as others, but I'm confident with time we will see big improvements. Also want to mention Holder who, in his first GP, gave a good account of himself with some tough racing and I think we can look forward to some good GPs from him in the near future. So a good, well-prepared track is all the GPs needed. Hopefully with Tony Olsson in, we can look forward to this all year Oh, and as always I loved the commentary.

Never done this one before but why not. I'll go with.. 1. Jason CRUMP £50,000 6. Nicki PEDERSEN £45,000 (captain) 10. Hans ANDERSEN £35,000 12. Chris HOLDER £35,000 13. Jaroslaw HAMPEL £25,000 Total - £190,000 Thanks

Congratulations Crumpy, absolutely superb!

The commentary.. was that Barker?

Holder through, get in!! Brilliant! Wouldn't have minded a Brit actually qualifying for once, but oh well. Doesn't shock me that Hampel's in. Not sure about Zorro, don't think he'll do much but at least he's in on merit.

Personally I love the GPs but dear me someone needs to get this sorted out, last night was dire and it's not the first GP you could use that word for.. Havvy nailed it when he said the track prep should be left to the people who do the job week in week out and know what they're doing..!

Agree about Tai. Talented and I think he'll get there in a few years but nowhere near ready yet.

Ding dong battle

Ooops Thanks, edited now

He's only helping his mates out (I assume) having grown up in Australia and spending so much time there. As long as Tai gives 100% when he's riding for GB then I really don't understand the whinging on here... he probably learnt more being there yesterday than sat watching it on TV.

Still delayed

Really can't see this one happening. As they've touched upon a couple of times we could possibly get it on if the rain stops but look over Charlie and Kelvin's shoulders - it's not slowed down since the programme started at all and the track is pretty much under water.
