Firstly congratulations to the Brits for doing well on their own patch, Lee Richardson looked chuffed to bits, Floppy rode out of his skin and Scotty Nicholls rode well considering his recent injuries...
Having looked at the comments that have been made and I know I am a little biased here but does anyone else agree that AJ should have at least got a place in the final?
He was at least as quick as anyone else with three wins and a second before the semi-final place, beat Leigh Adams in the main event, had a fantastic tussle with Mark Loram and chased Greg Hancock to beat him on the line...to get what? A gate four draw in the semi-final!
With a decent draw in the semis, I am sure that he would have qualified for the final and who knows if he had any semblance of luck with picking gate positions, he would have been odds-on to win it.
This year has been tough going for AJ and his confidence couldn't have been helped by the goings on at Brandon, so it was heartening to see him mixing it with the top boys.
