He certainly won't be missed at most "away tracks" because like you say he was THE MAN for last heat decider so,you could fill in your programme as they were heading to the 1st bend.
Thats the nearest to a reasonable solution IMO.Think there should be GP qualifiers throughout the season for Riders NOT ALREADY in GP and the Top 8 meet the bottom 8 from the GP.for the 8 places in next seasons GP. Will never happen though.
Just read on the Ipswich thread that Doolan was sold to Berwick last season ,could someone " in the Know" please confirm whether this was the case or not.
I agree AJ is still Top 16 GP rider IMO.He isn't running around at the back tailed off he is inconsistent but you still feel he could win a GP. There is never going to be an ideal solution to GP wild cards just to benefit certain nations.
Kildemand is the perfect example of a rider wanting to get to the top as quickly as possible,when I saw him with Workington I never though he would reach the level he is at now he was a "mental case" but fair play to him he took the big steps required before he became the run of the mill journeyman.
Am I right in thinking that you
I am right in thinking the you are the Author of Out of the Frying Pan,if so just to let you know just read it and found it a excellent read.
Suppose the Double World Champ can be thrown in .Thats still only 4 riders and the other GP man is past his best.I wish Cook well but as you can see you my previous posts the jury is out on him IMO .
Bottom line is the Brits are just not good enough nowadays.We are no longer the top nation and are not producing young talent that can make the step up.
