Everyone is assuming Bomber is going to get a nominated ride for the GP's next year when are they going to confirm nominations

Anyone know if AJ practised and will he race

I think Scotty will make the rostrum in third tonight with Nikki P and Hans Anderson taking the first 2 places

I would put Allen in at reserve now Howe is out but can you change the team for other legs or do you have to keep the same line up.

I don't think there is enough money involved in the GP series for it to become sustainable sports like Moto GP get hundreds of thousands of fans over 2 or 3 days turning up and huge sponsorship deals. They also get works factory teams because development is relevant to road bikes. Even in smaller series based in Britain like the British touring cars there is still lots of money invloved.

1st Hans Anderson 2nd Nicki Pederson 3rd Jason Crump Scot Nichols to make a Semi and Chris Harris I dont think will finish in the top 8

I agree build for the future and a team that will be together a few years time to blood the younger riders on the international stage worked for Harris last year I would put Allen in at Coventry and Stead in the others.

Nicki has re invented himself this year. He really is focused, he is fitter and mentally stronger than ever before. I think he will have it all sown up by about round 8. He is on fire from the tapes and his machinery is fast at the moment. The 2 wins he has had will only add more fuel. He seems much more relaxed and with his arm problems behind him I don't think anyone at the moment will stop him.

Great racing from Chris fantastic performance - that should silence the critics and doubters that thought he should not have been selected Just going to crack a beer to celebrate

I think Stead will get it but I would like to see it go to Kennett

I agree I think he should at least start the meeting and see how things go. I would also fully expect him not to ride in any meetings afterwards for at least another weak. The problem will be more with pain and being able to grip than anything else.

Perderson was superb, some surprises in there but there always is in the GP's. Pity about the track watering just as race lines were developing they put water down forcing them all inside again and making it greasy. (The track reminds me of Norden in Germany just a flat Oval it was the same there in the world final when Egon Muller won. They put water on the track and the racing went back inside ruined the meeting then.)
