Got to admit Im finding it hard to come up with a reason to give any Brit rider a Wild Card for next season.Just because we have proably the biggest GP doesnt mean we have a right to a certain amount of riders.
Clews in the GPs,they wont know what hit them.
I dont think there was anything sinister about Sky putting saturdays GP on the red button,remember it started on normal Sky for the 1st hour before changing.I think it has more to do with the amount of other sports Sky covered live that day,Spanish football and the like.
Agree but under the old one off system was it easier to be World Champ,Id say it was.I mean would Egon Muller ever have been World Champ under this GP system.
We are only having this debate because GB came so close to getting to the final,if we had come a distant fourth as many predicted then we would have all said it was a good learning curve for the young riders.Bridgers performance was poor but hopefully next time he can learn from last night and do much better,remember Nicholls performance in the GP at this track didnt excatly set the world alight in-fact if memory serves me right he was stone dead last.
This topic has been done to death,Im in total agreement with you about Olsen but the fact is if the powers that be choose to do nothing then we are left with this borefest.He has turned a meeting with a chance to see great racing into a gateing competition.
Its a shame that alcohol seems to ruin what should be a great day out and if speedway wants to pride itself as a familly sport then hopefully something will be done but I wont hold my breath.Im sure if you look back at the threads from last years Cardiff GP Id bet much the same kind of thing was posted then.
People enjoying a drink is no problem but unfortunately some people dont know when enough is enough.
Completely wrong.Emil spat out his dummy big time,Nicholls had every right to be livid with Emil after he almost fenced him coming out of turn two on lap one,it was hard racing from Nicholls and if Emil cant take it then he is better off out of the GP series.As for the Russians pit crew,what a complete disgrace they are.
Not there myself so dont know the facts but Ive no reason to question what you say as these particular names are well known for this sort of behaviour.
Agree about the track but its a problem with temporary tracks.Hard luck on Chris Harris who made a good them hit a rut,took off towards the fence and came last,but for that he just may have sneaked into the semi-finals.Nicholls,yet another GP nightmare and to be honest he might be better off out of there asap.
