Don't get me wrong, it's more than I'd want to pay, but hotels up here are about £60 per night, so paying £50 down Cardiff isn't extortionate, just the going rate and not upped to a ridiculous amount
I've just got back from a fortnight in Menorca and was amazed to spend an hour last Thursday night watching highlights from the Nordic GP. The programme had Spanish commentary even during the races and went really in depth into the riders scores, etc. It was sort of similar to what they used to put on Channel 4 a few years back.
Now for my point...
I was in Menorca watching Spanish telly. Spain - what interest do they have in Speedway at all, let alone the GPs? I could watch a Speedway programme.
Now I'm in Sheffield watching English telly. England (or Great Britain) - has two riders in the GP and has one of the biggest leagues in the world. The only way I can a Speedway programme is on the net!
If there HAS to be a brit, then I'd go with Harris. Best of the brits currently in the GP (not hard, I know...) and made it to the GP challenge and wasn't far off the top 3. Tai WILL be in the GPs but he's the best we have for the future, don't lets push him too soon and bring him to his peak way too early
