Don't feed the troll!

Really? Considering Tai has recently been promoted to the number one position at wolverhampton and has been on a consistent 8+ average all year, I beg to differ. MJJ is on 6.58. I honestly fail to see your logic.

I used to enjoy having 2 wild cards per GP. I'd like to see that come back.

Spot on - NKI must be gutted, but odds on he'll qualify outright for next year anyway

Are you still talking?

Much respect, great post.

You are correct.

Slightly below the belt there

Lets not beat around the bush here, Darcy doesn't really have to qualify. I know it's a formality but we all know he's good enough for the GPs and would quite easily qualify by merit, if needs be.

Craig Cook is out with a broken wrist. Ben Barker takes his spot as 1st reserve and Josh Auty takes 2nd reserve. Bit harsh on riders like Roynon/Woffinden in my opinion, but that's the way it goes.

if Ward and Vaculik are in next years' GP it's set to be a very interesting year.

Will we ever get a GP where it's NOT slick? This is getting silly.

of course it's possible, but it won't happen

I can't see why he won't get a pick to be honest. He's already proved that he can hack it in the GPs. EDIT: I now realise that I was thinking of Martin Vaclulik... that's what you get for posting on these forums when you're supposed to be working

My thoughts exactly. I'd rather have no British representative for a couple of years, have a decent couple of SGP series with much better riders, to have a brit join in later on who can actually mount a serious challenge just watching our men going through the motions is painful, degrading and detracts from the event itself.

Again referring to my previous point, for the sake of entertainment I'd rather see no British rider, if a better rider were to be seeded.

Could be worse.. it could be Turnbull

I've always had a problem with seeding riders in because there is a lack of a particular nation in the GPs. I can see why it's done, don't get me wrong, but I would much rather have a field of exceptional riders regardless of how many there are from a particular nation, than a balanced field with sub-par riders involved. Plus it would go a long way to show which countries are lacking in top level riders and should (hopefully) give that nation the kick it needs to sort it out

I love Davey Watt, but he has no place in the GPs. We don't need older riders coming in that won't improve the quality. I'd prefer a Darcy Ward or a Martin Vaculik any day over a +30 year old rider.

That's crazy. How much Red Bull has he been drinking?

Don't get me wrong, I still hate the rule, but if it has to stay then surely make it so the losing team can't make back the whole deficit in one race. Make them work slightly harder for it!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, make sure the losing team is 8 or 10 points behind before they can use the joker. That way they can't (potentially) pull back the entire deficit in 1 race!

I remember this also.
