T.N.T.

Changes I would like to see are ...... TOP TEN QUALIFY = With the riders in the series now, the top ten are all riders capable of winning a GP and should be in the series. GP CHALLENE = Top 3 Qualify ....... However the top 2 from the 20 heats go through with the next four in a run off for the last place ONLY 2 NOMINATED RIDERS = There are not that many riders around that are as ood as the current top ten and if they are, they may have qualified any way. ...... At present I would say Darcy Ward is a definate should he not qualify and these nominations can also be used if a top rider misses meetings through injury. ...... World U21 Champion worth consideration POINTS IN SEMI-FINAL = Have to agree that the top 8 in each meeting deserve a small bonus for reaching the ko stage ..... but I would go for 3 - 2 - 1 - 1 in the Semi Finals ...... 0 if excluded or fail to finish.

NOTE; As previously stated, you now get 10 points for posting ...... so no post (or edit/post after deadline) = no points DANISH PREDICTIONS 13 Nicki Pedersen 12 Chris Holder 12 Greg Hancock 10 Tomasz Gollob 10 Jason Crump 9 Jaroslaw Hampel 9 Andreas Jonsson 8 Emil Sayfutdinov 7 Fredrik "2012 Swedish GP Champion" Lindgren 6 Kenneth Bjerre 5 Michael Jepsen Jensen WC 5 Antonio Lindback 5 Hans Andersen 4 Peter Ljung 3 Bjarne Pedersen 2 Chris Harris

The GP Qualifier may come too early for Tai who is out for 4 weeks and the meeting is 3 weeks away ..... this may be Tai's taret for a comeback as he wants to qualify and not have to gamble Tai ....... 7+ 8+ and lookin like 9+ in the last three years ..... he was a 7+ teenager last time and in the last two years has improved big time while Bomber has slipped to a 7+ rider and favourite for the GP Wooden Spoon ..... Yes Tai is that much better

Next year the only British rider in the Grand Prix will be Tai Woffinden ....... unless someone qualifies through the GP Challenge

PLEASE NOTE = I have had to change the scoring a bit - before if you didnt post you got -20 points (this was a pain to check back) ...... so NOW you get 10 points if you post So if you score 18 points in one round - you get 28 points Don't post ....... you get NOTHING LEADERBOARD (modified) after round 4 80 = Rico 79 = Screm 79 = PhillipsSR 77 = beercellar 76 = Brummie Kev 76 = Iceman 72 = cj69 72 = Racers and Royals 72 = Psycho3a 71 = Deeks YaMahaga 70 = mdmc82 69 = JCookie 68 = T.N.T. 67 = William FJ 66 = Hilly 66 = DiamondsRock 64 = dumptheclutch 63 = noggin 62 = Gray 59 = refereerick 58 = Mark246 58 = dontforgetthefueltaps 56 = Gavan 54 = Pantherman 54 = Waihekeaces 52 = Kiwi 52 = Bandits4Life 52 = Dukey Boy 42 = Stilton Panther 41 = Homer 40 = Smiles 39 = BeesBoyBert 38 = SCB 30 = BomberHammer 23 = Mark 22 = Jamie E 16 = White Rabbit 10 = Cockney Pirate 6 = Steve R 4 = Starman2006 -2 = Mark Evans -3 = Diddy -4 = Full Throttle -4 = woz01 -7 = Comet10 -9 = wjm -9 = PTW -10 = Bandits4Eva -11 = Kris Ad -14 = Baz Brush -15 = Patto25 -17 = Superguest

Can't see Freddie dropping out at the end of the season after finishing in the top 8 1 #1 Greg Hancock 58 2 #10 Nicki Pedersen 56 3 #4 Jason Crump 55 4 #8 Chris Holder 52 5 #5 Tomasz Gollob 49 6 #3 Jaroslaw Hampel 46 7 #9 Fredrik Lindgren 37 8 #6 Emil Sayfutdinov 37 ------------------------------------ 9 #12 Antonio Lindback 31 10 #2 Andreas Jonsson 30 11 #14 Peter Ljung 21 12 #7 Kenneth Bjerre 20 13 #15 Hans Andersen 20 14 #13 Bjarne Pedersen 19 15 #11 Chris Harris 17 Bomber on the other hand would still be outside the top 8 even if he was on double points !! Weird call on the semi final with Nicki's crash ........ but a fair one

Will be doing league tables up today / tonight The one meeting I don't pick Fredrik Lindgren he oes and wins it !!! What the riders scored in Sweden .......... 12 Greg Hancock 3 11 Jason Crump 0 11 Tomasz Gollob -5 11 Chris Holder 6 9 Jarek Hampel -2 9 Nicki Pedersen 5 9 Andreas Jonsson 1 8 Antonio Lindback -3 8 Emil Sayfutdinov 4 6 Fredrik Lindgren 9 5 Kenneth Bjerre 0 4 Peter Ljung 2 4 Tomas H Jonasson WC 7 4 Hans Andersen -1 3 Chris Harris 0 3 Bjarne Pedersen 1

SWEDISH GP 12 Greg Hancock 11 Jason Crump 11 Tomasz Gollob 11 Chris Holder 9 Jarek Hampel 9 Nicki Pedersen 9 Andreas Jonsson 8 Antonio Lindback 8 Emil Sayfutdinov 6 Fredrik Lindgren 5 Kenneth Bjerre 4 Peter Ljung 4 Tomas H Jonasson WC 4 Hans Andersen 3 Chris Harris 3 Bjarne Pedersen My 4 picks are ...... Nicki Pedersen Peter Ljung Chris Holder Jarek Hampel league tables and scores will be updated on Sunday (as the Mrs is out all day )

You were lucky in away that Bjarne actually scored points ..... but not as many as Nicki Still have to update tables but best scores were 26 by Brummie Kev and Psycho3a closely followed by racers and royals on 25 and Smiles 24

Just updated the scores ..... then lost it all as I posted it ..... will update later NEW LEADER after Round 3 is ....... SCREM !!!

Haven't had chance to up date last rounds scores just yet, but with the SWEDISH GP just 8 days away it will be done by then. Here are the prediction scores I have set for the SWEDISH GP where Thomas H Jonasson will be Wild Card at Ullevi. Last years meeting was stopped at heat 16 with Chris Holder declared the winner ahead of Hancock, Lindback and Kolodiej SWEDISH GP 12 Greg Hancock 11 Jason Crump 11 Tomasz Gollob 11 Chris Holder 9 Jarek Hampel 9 Nicki Pedersen 9 Andreas Jonsson 8 Antonio Lindback 8 Emil Sayfutdinov 6 Fredrik Lindgren 5 Kenneth Bjerre 4 Peter Ljung 4 Tomas H Jonasson WC 4 Hans Andersen 3 Chris Harris 3 Bjarne Pedersen

No ! ....... rules state they have to be posted before the programme starts (6pm) ..... so minus 20 points ..... SORRY League tables and scores will be updated tonight ....... The 4 riders you needed to pick were ......... Crump, N Pedersen, Franc WC and Lindback which would have netted you 32 points The 4 riders you needed to avoid were ....... AJ, Hampel, Bjerre and either Gollob or Lindgren which would have scored you minus 20 points -7 13 Jaroslaw Hampel 0 12 Tomasz Gollob 1 11 Greg Hancock -8 11 Andreas Jonsson 10 10 Jason Crump 2 10 Chris Holder 10 9 Nicki Pedersen 2 8 Emil Sayfutdinov -5 8 Kenneth Bjerre 0 6 Fredrik Lindgren 1 5 Hans Andersen 4 5 Antonio Lindback 2 4 Chris Harris 1 4 Peter Ljung 2 4 Bjarne Pedersen 8 1 Wild Card

My predictions are ..... 11 Greg Hancock 9 Nicki Pedersen 8 Emil Sayfutdinov 6 Fredrik Lindgren

By all means, if anyone spots a mistake like this or edits etc, post on here As has happened before with the Pedersen's .... if its not edited or posted before the start time ..... they get the Pedersen with the lowest game points

WHAT THE RIDERS SCORED IN ROUND TWO - LESZNO 11 - Chris Holder 4 - Peter Ljung 4 - Fredrik Lindgren 4 - Andreas Jonsson 3 - Tomasz Gollob 2 - Kenneth Bjerre 2 - Jason Crump 1 - Pawlicki WC 1 - Hans Andersen 1 - Nicki Pedersen 1 - Jarek Hampel 0 - Chris Harris -2 - Bjarne Pedersen -2 Greg Hancock -3 Antonio Lindback -3 Emil Sayfutdinov LEADERBOARD 25 = RefereeRick 22 = PhilipSR 20 = Hilly 19 = mdmc82 12 = Screm 11 = dumptheclutch 11 = Rico 10 = Iceman 10 = Gray 9 = William Fisher Jones 8 = Mark246 6 = Pantherman3 = CJ69 4 = T.N.T 4 = GAVAN 3 = Mark 2 = DeeksYaMahaga 2 = beercellar 2 = Racers and Royals 0 = BeesBoyBert -1 = Waihekeaces -1 = dontforgetthefueltaps -2 = JCookie -2 = Pschyco39 -3 = noggin -3 = Diamonds Rock -3 = SCB # -4 = Stilton Panther -4 = Kiwi -4 = Steve R # -6 = Starman2006 # -7 = Brummie Kev -7 = Bandits4Life -8 = Homer -10 = Cockney Pirate -12 = Dukey Boy -13 = Diddy # -14 BomberHammer @ -14 = Full Throttle # -14 = woz01 # -17 = Comet10 # -19 = wjm # -20 = Bandits4Eva # -21 = Kris Ad # -24 = Baz Brush # -25 = Patto25 # -26 = smiles # -27 = Superguest # -28 Homer @ -29 = PTW # # = no prediction last round @ = no prediction previous round CZECH GP PREDICTION SCORES 13 Jaroslaw Hampel 12 Tomasz Gollob 11 Greg Hancock 11 Andreas Jonsson 10 Jason Crump 10 Chris Holder 9 Nicki Pedersen 8 Emil Sayfutdinov 8 Kenneth Bjerre 6 Fredrik Lindgren 5 Hans Andersen 5 Antonio Lindback 4 Chris Harris 4 Peter Ljung 4 Bjarne Pedersen 1 Wild Card

Firstly ....... I have a few computer problems so will update last round scores very soon. CZECH GP PREDICTION SCORES 13 Jaroslaw Hampel 12 Tomasz Gollob 11 Greg Hancock 11 Andreas Jonsson 10 Jason Crump 10 Chris Holder 9 Nicki Pedersen 8 Emil Sayfutdinov 8 Kenneth Bjerre 6 Fredrik Lindgren 5 Hans Andersen 5 Antonio Lindback 4 Chris Harris 4 Peter Ljung 4 Bjarne Pedersen 1 Wild Card

REMEMBER ...... No editing or posting from 6pm on Saturday ..... any post or edit from 6.01pm onwards will result in a -20 score

Despite clearly being the top rider of the last 12 months+ and reaching most finals, I still give Greg Hancock a modest score but he is not selected by that many. .... Are people waiting for his bubble to burst and the likes of Hampel, AJ or Emil to step up ? MY PREDICTIONS FOR LESZNO ..... 14 - Jarek Hampel 10 - Emil Sayfutdinov 6 - Prez Pawlicki WC 4 - Fredrik Lindgren

ROUND TWO PREDICTIONS = LESZNO 14 - Jarek Hampel 13 - Tomasz Gollob 11 - Greg Hancock 10 - Jason Crump 10 - Emil Sayfutdinov 9 - Nicki Pedersen 9 - Andreas Jonsson 8 - Chris Holder 7 - Antonio Lindback 6 - Kenneth Bjerre 6 - Prez Pawlicki WC 4 - Hans Andersen 4 - Fredrik Lindgren 4 - Bjarne Pedersen 3 - Chris Harris 2 - Peter Ljung

With the quality of riders around today, I feel that the Top 10 should qualify automatically and the other five get seeded into the GP Challenge final to face the 11 Qualifiers ...... the top 4 then qualify from that meeting and the one remaining place goes to a Wild Card

2012 World Champion - Jarek Hampel Runner Up - Tomasz Gollob Third - Emil Sayfutdinov Greg Hancock, Jason Crump, Nicki Pedersen, Andreas Jonsson, Chris Holder .... Fredrik Lindgren, Antonio Lindback, Kenneth Bjerre , Hans Andersen, Chris Harris, Bjarne Pedersen, Peter Ljung

The best riders ahould be allowed to challenge for the World Title Bjerre wasn't very good in NZ but qualified as #7 last season whiler Freddie was #9 ..... ahead of Nicki and in NZ at least Freddie made the semi finals despite letting a couple of points slip. Both should be in there unless there are better riders out there ...... at present only Darcy Ward and Tai Woffinden are close and they both said No

8 = Antonio Lindback 4 = Nicki Pedersen 1 = Fredrik Lindgren -5 = Chris Holder Missed this prediction out of the table ...... ICEMAN you have 8 points

WHAT THE RIDERS SCORED IN ROUND ONE - NEW ZEALAND 11 = Greg Hancock 8 = Antonio Lindback 5 = Tomasz Gollob 5 = Jarek Hampel 4 = Nicki Pedersen 2 = Bjarne Pedersen 1 = Fredrik Lindgren 1 = Peter Ljung 0 = Hans Andersen 0 = Jason Bunyan 0 = Chris Harris -1 = Jason Crump -3 = Emil Sayfutdinov -5 = Andreas Jonsson -5 = Chris Holder As quite a few people selected Andreas Jonsson and/or Chris Holder, there were quite a few starting with minus points. However the riders you really needed on your side was Greg Hancock, Antonio Lindback, Tomasz Gollob and Jarek Hampel which would have landed a perfect 29 points. HILLY takes the top spot after round one with 18 points as he selected Greg, Bjarne and Antonio along with Emil. ...... The legend that is SCB is close behind on 17 points with his selection of Greg, Nicki, Bjarne and Bomber. ...... The Wooden Spoon from NZ goes to BANDITS4LIFE with -14 fom their selection of Holder, AJ, Bjerre and Bomber LEADERBOARD 18 = Hilly 17 = SCB 16 = Steve R 14 = Starman2006 11 = Rico 11 = RefereeRick 9 = PhilipSR 9 = GAVAN 8 = dumptheclutch 8 = Leeman 7 = mdmc82 7 = Diddy 7 = Gray 7 = Mark 6 = Mark246 6 = Full Throttle 6 = woz01 5 = William Fisher Jones 4 = CJ69 3 = Comet10 2 = DeeksYaMahaga 2 = beercellar 2 = Racers and Royals 1 = T.N.T 1 = wjm 0 = Homer 0 = Bandits4Eva -1 = Kiwi -1 = Kris Ad -1 = Pschyco39 -2 = noggin -3 = BeesBoyBert -3 = Waihekeaces -3 = JCookie -4 = Screm -4 = Baz Brush -4 = dontforgetthefueltaps -4 = Pantherman -5 = Patto25 -5 = Diamonds Rock -6 = smiles -7 = Superguest -9 = PTW -10 = Cockney Pirate -10 = Stilton Panther -13 = Dukey Boy -13 = Brummie Kev -14 = Bandits4Life

After the 20 heats -4 Kenneth Bjerre 0 Hans Andersen -5 Andreas Jonsson 2 Bjarne Pedersen 0 Jason Bunyan 1 Peter Ljung 0 Chris Harris -5 Chris Holder So the riders you wanted to have left at the check in were clearly AJ and Noddy Going into the Semi Finals, Antonio Lindback is already on 7 points, Gollob 4, Hancock 3, Lindgren 1, Nicki 0 ...... Hampel is currently -2, Emil -3 and Crump -4
