Its a much better way of finding a true World Champion so obviously the GP is the best. Im amazed this thread was even started. Its not like no one has ever mentioned it before!

Find it odd that Werner is being considered. Has been in decline for a while even before he stopped racing. Surely there are better options?

Your such a little ray of sunshine at times arent ya. If you want to have a sarcy dig at a comment then id say the reply was obvious. Even you can work that one out. Bet your glad the "massive favourites" triumphed last night

Yea of course. Of course not. Just 2 rostrum places in the last 3 rounds.

Shame others couldnt wait.

Me too. Ive just seen it on facebook that Stakkers announced it and freddie updated his twitter with very happy.

From where? Nothing on GP official site.

And rightly so. Troy and Rory have had great seasons - however neither will get a wild card pick unless they qualify. Ward is already head and shoulders of both.

Any other special guests?

Pedersen has one style of riding - dangerous default.

excellent battle for 3rd in the final. Holder tried to stuff freddie at least once. Freddie did the stuffing when it mattered. Hancock as good as won the title tonight.

Freddie fighting for his GP life. GO FREDDIE

2 from 4 for Bomber

Many thanks , wouldnt have even thought of that!

Think that the mould of ensuring all countries presenting GP`s having a representation was broken in yesterdays GP with Ward bein given the wild card pick ahead of the presenting nation. I`m sure that the Brits would want a British rider to support at Cardiff but i doubt not having one would distract from the attendance. Dont think the atmosphere would be the same tho as Harris, woffy or whoever represents their country gets the mightiest roar at every time they are on track. Think BSI should ensure the wildcard for Cardiff is a GB rider tho at the very least. Will make the British final even more vital. Harris has gone backwards this season big time and im not sure there is a reasonable enough argument to keep him in next season. The best way of sorting out riders for next years grand prix is to give those that miss out on the top 8 a chance to compete with those that missed out on the GP qualifier a chance to re-qualify by a meaningful meeting. You can still have picks - but maybe 2 less. There really isnt any Brit that at this stage is worthy of a pick - not woffy and certainly not Barker. Neither have done enough this season to show that they would warrant it.

Why give it to a swede in the UK? Correct, those were MY comments! He looked good in my Wolves coat tho. No idea, was too busy doing updates, Bagpuss, its coming Have to say that the meeting didnt quite live up to its billing. Expected a much bigger crowd with such decent weather. But still a decent enough size crowd to be considered a success i guess. Think there was plenty of effort by the boys as one would expect. Was excited to see some of the names touted as future World Champs and possible EL signings. Some obviously stood head and shoulders above others. Already made comments on the update site so ill give my thoughts on the riders on show. VACULIK - Didnt win a heat but was very much chasing for points and on back wheels to try pass. First time ive seen him ride so i thought he looked OK. Seems that he is likely to be heading for Poole anyway. Think he will be a great addition to the EL too. ANDERSSON - was quick and used home advantage to the max. Had one hell of a tussle with Darcy in heat 14. Not sure if he was bunched in the final looked like he come down on his own to me. HART - outclassed which was to be expected. DUDEK - Expected a little more and was my tip for the rostrum, however the heat of the heat 20 power race was too much. Certainly looks a tidy little rider tho. Looked to have fallen easy in heat 16, thought Zmarlik had passed him fairly personally. PIOTR PAWLICKI - What a classy youngster. Looks AHEAD of his brother at this stage. Naturally talented. If Cov manage to secure his signature then they will be title bound again. To be honest if he does sign for a club in the EL he will be an amazing addition. Besides the expected top 3 he was my top highlight. And 16??? Poland have a bright future. GUSTAFSSON - awful looking spill and not at all suprised he was withdrawn. Had a good scrap with Piotr in heat 2. WORRALL - Had a great ride to keep the Poles behind him in heat 18. Otherwise was largely outclassed. HAINES - Think he got better thru the meeting. Worked hard despite looking slower than some of the others. ZMARLIK - Came to life in heat 16 but otherwise did little else. LOKTAEV - very hard to judge but it was an awful smash with Gustafsson. WARD - as expected really. Looked head and shoulders above the rest. JANOWSKI - Excellent meeting for him. looked quick and committed. Although was well beaten by Darcy in his first race. JENSEN - After all the hype i was hugely disapponted. Didnt look like winning a heat and looked slightly down on speed. I would still welcome him to the EL OR Wolves SHAMEK - Should have settled for a safe 2nd in heat 6 but fair play to him for going for the gap. Have to say he is slightly overshadowed by his brother. KOVACIC - went about his scoring fairly quietly and didnt do anything of note. FAJFER - Another that did very little to impress. Reserves - At least they got some experience.

too many nights indoors with Kenneth Bjerre and Troy batchelor posters

CVS will be there to sign him up. I`ll take him my spare Wolves coat to wear tomorrow.

Can any locals update on weather reports for tomorrow, many thanks.

Herin lies the point. Who is the greatest rider ever is open to suggestion.

That is the beauty of opinions Phil.. Unfortunately some think there opinion is the defination.
