Gollob Jonsson Hancock Lindgren edited Wednesday ..... taken out Emil for Greg

Whatever his last 28 meetings will be his average If however the fixtures are 2 home and 2 away next season, thats 36 matches .... so 28 may be changed at the EGM ?

MY PREDICTIONS 7 Fredrik Lindgren 2 Artem Laguta 4 Andreas Jonsson 9 Emil Sayfutdinov Gone for an adventurous line up of racers even though it looks to be a gaters paradise NOTE; No Entries or edits once the Sky coverage starts !!!

Artem Laguta ..... As he is not riding, Magnus Zetterstrom takes his place and DOES carry the 2 point predictive score ...

No suprises in the main scorers really so well done to the top three on getting 14 points from such a line up. Well Done to Joe Haines on 8 points and taking the scalps of Martin Vaculik and Patryk Dudek (both exceleent prospects) Was hoping to see Bartosz Zmarzlik higher up the score chart, but judging by the updates he certainly mixed it up a bit and should have scored more ...... If Vaculik goes to Poole .... Dudek to Swindon .... Pi Pawlicki to Bees .... Bart will do for WV2 please !!

Heat 19 .... Gustafsson, Janowski and MJJ !! Heat 5 ...... Vaculik, Pi Pawlicki, Zmarzlik, MJJ Some very interesting heats .... Could be won by a number of riders

Short term contract .... dooes NOT become an asset even if he did 21 meetings .... however should he return ... Coventry definatley among the favourites BACK ON TOPIC .... Anyone post the line up order for today ?

1 - You can dream 2 - Emil hasn't planned on next season but is a free Agent so can join who he wants

PREDICTED SCORES FOR ITALY ..... 12 Tomasz Gollob 10 Jarek Hampel 12 Jason Crump 5 Rune Holta 11 Greg Hancock 5 Chris Harris 9 Kenneth Bjerre 10 Chris Holder 4 Andreas Jonsson 8 Nicki Pedersen 7 Fredrik Lindgren 9 Emil Sayfutdinov 2 Artem Laguta 5 Antonio Lindback 5 Janusz Kolodiej 6 Wild Card

As no predictions had been made, I have edited the predictive scores accordingly Thought the WC would be some Pasta Thrower

The GRAND PRIX Series returns on Saturday 30th July with the ITALIAN GP Can anyone catch RefereeRick ? .... Will noggin make anymore edits ? .... One round can change the leaderboard vastly, so post your predictions before the SKY Coverage starts on the day PREDICTED SCORES ..... 12 Tomasz Gollob 10 Jarek Hampel 12 Jason Crump 5 Rune Holta 11 Greg Hancock 5 Chris Harris 9 Kenneth Bjerre 10 Chris Holder 4 Andreas Jonsson 8 Nicki Pedersen 7 Fredrik Lindgren 9 Emil Sayfutdinov 2 Artem Laguta 5 Antonio Lindback 5 Janusz Kolodiej 6 Wild Card GOOD LUCK

Suprised that Nicolai Klindt isnt included in the Danish team (possibly Hans Andersen too) while Adrian Miedzinski I would have thought would have been a better pick that Protasiewicz ... Kasprzak pretty fast at Monmore last night. Watch Tai for GB .... he is riding very good and fast.

Greg will be in next season even if he finishes outside the top three ..... which i doubt very much.

Can't believe that some are saying Nicki Pedersen, Jarek Hampel etc will be too old for the GP's in 2016 Both Nicki and Jarek will be considerably younger then that Hancock and Gollob are now and they are dominating it. There will be numerous riders that will break into the scene but I cant see much past Tai Woffnden or Edward Kennett as British riders in the next five years and sadly neither will ever challenge for the ultimate title. Poland (and Russia) have a number of young riders coming through and then you have other countries bringing through riders like Vaculik, Bagdanovs so added to the hot new riders coming through from Scandanavia then it will be hard to see why Britain should have a representative in the future unless Tai or Eddie can be 9+ riders here and abroad consistantly. As for the title, by 2016 I see Holder, Sayfutdinov, Ward, Lindgren and Hampel being the front runners .... possibly with Crump, Pedersen and Bjerre.

You dont have to know the draw to fill in the programme. The programme shows each heat with their helmet colours, therefore Jason Crump in heat 1 wearing yellow is at #4, Antonio Lindback in heat 4 wearing yellow is at #13 and appears again in heat 5 in red. S I M P L E S ! If you are writing on black paper, you have 2 options. Ask to borrow a programme .... or ..... #1 always goes in the first heat of each round, therefore heats 1, 5, 9, 13 and 17. .... This is repeated for riders in heat 1. #5 will appear in heat 2 and again in heat 5 while #6 appears again in heat 6, #7 in heat 7 and #8 in heat 8 This is repeated again in the next two heats (3 .... riders 9-12 ...and 4 ... riders 13-16) so as heat 5 starts, you will know who is in what draw number .

SCORES FOR CARDIFF - ROUND 5 FOUR RIDERS ..... PLUS ..... JUST ONE OF THE GROUPS 12 Tomasz Gollob - 5 10 Jarek Hampel - 5 12 Jason Crump - 4 5 Rune Holta - 4 12 Greg Hancoick 8 7 Chris Harris - 1 6 Kenneth Bjerre 5 9 Chris Holder 6 6 Andreas Jonsson 4 7 Nicki Pedersen 9 6 Fredrik Lindgren - 1 7 Emil Sayfutdinov 6 3 Artem Laguta ZORRO 6 3 Antonio Lindback 0 4 Janusz Kolodiej 3 5 Scott Nicholls (WC)0 35 WITCHES & WOLVES ... Gollob, Hampel, Pedersen, Lindgren - 2 30 OLD BEES ... Hancock, AJ, Harris, Nicholls 11 30 ACES & PIRATES ...Crump, Bjerre, Holder, Lindback. 7 10 FADING AWAY ... Holta, Kolodiej, Woffinden (res) Barker (res) 0 10 RUSKIES ... Sayfutdinov, Laguta ZORRO 12 So basically the best picks were PEDERSEN, HANCOCK and any two from HOLDER, SAYFUTDINOV or Laguta (ZORRO) with THE RUSKIES as the best group would have gained you 41 points !!!

Any replacements as in Zetterstrom coming in for Laguta, then that rider DOES take over their acores. So anyone selecting Laguta / The Ruskies DO get Zorro's score Will update later

I saw Freddie at 66/1 ..... but that was to win the Series Looking at the heat betting, there are some decent prices for a 4 or 5 fold ..... Crump heat 1 is 10/11, then 7/4 in heat 8 and 9/5 in heat 12 ..... Freddie Lindgren 9/4 in heat 4 .... Hancock at 6/5 in heat 11

My picks are 6 Fredrik Lindgren 7 Emil Sayfutdinov 7 Nicki Pedersen 6 Kenneth Bjerre RUSKIES !

EDIT / ADD the group you are also picking please ! CARDIFF is a bit special for most and giving you a group to select from gives just that extra something. It may make the teams at the bottom pick up BIG points and close the gap on the leaders (welcome back noggin ) GOOD LUCK ...... remember NO editing after the Sky coverage starts !!

Who is doing this stall as I may be looking at selling my 1928 Autograph book that features names like Vic Huxley, Sprouts Elder etc etc etc
