this is the point i was trying to make.. plus putting extra laps on an engine when the gearing/setup would be different.. pointless exactly

very true.. you never know but i doubt it really do you really think the same.. but always be assured he will have another that will work and still be very quick

because he gets the track to himself maybe..and the right set up will be different come race day.. every top rider has said practise is useless as it is never the same.. but practise on saturday morning will be brilliant because the track will be pretty much the same as it was during practise.. and it wasnt a practise it was an open invitation to test kit.. as i said if rosco is happy with the team then we should get behind them.. why get on their backs about a practise that wasnt really a practise !!

nice post in a sense i agree but also disagree.. we all know tracks are completely different from practise to race day setups will be different as the track will be prepared different.. the guys will all be together on Friday to watch the race off they will learn a lot from watching it and half the team have riden it.. King (won the british title on it) Lambert was in that meeting and Cook is a home rider... Tai is the only one who hasnt riden it but i am pretty sure practise will get that sorted really.. with the advice from some of the other riders and i am sure the other home riders like scott nicholls etc will give Tia a nod to gearing etc if needed.. The shape of the track isnt really any different to many others its still a lap where they turn left.. and again they will get friday to watch the racing to know a line surely so basically it is now boiling down to what everyone calls team bonding.. these guys will get on naturally we will not have that issue.. where i agree is that yes it would be great to have all this planned out have the use of the track for a week for everyone to get to grips with (i dont think it would be good though as the track will be differnet anyway) but it is the national stadium can they spare that time ? and also do we have the budget for it.. ?? answer those two questions.. we heard that the Australia team suffered with funding etc.. so to sum up .. in an ideal world yes it would have been great to get everyone together but if rosco is happy then we should be happy and lets face it he is the one closer to the riders than pretty much anyone anyway..and they will all be there on Friday having team bonding watching who will join them on saturday..

read the articel from rosco.. a chance for some of the guys to test big track engines i dont think Tai needs to worry about big track engines and to be really honest practise now is useless as it will be totally different come saturday.. practise saturday morning is the best way.. know the tuning and the track wont change much after it.. it was a chance for the other guys to test new kit or get the best out of what they have before saturday.. its not team bonding really.. i dont think the guys really need it.. i would be more concerned the guys will be race rusty as they wouldnt of had a meeting in about a week.. Tai is in Poland NOW testing a new engine for the weekend.

Tai is in Poland today Testing Engines.. New PJR Engine to be tested.. think it may be a new rocket for the FInal..

Sure i have just heard the team announced on bt sports watching sweden win.. Woffinden Lambert King Cook Pearson just said thats the line up

he has never held back in any way... but quite rightly he has zero worries about the current world champion.. he will turn up and win races simple.. he needs little preperation for this meeting.. where as the other guys who are not so internationally experienced need to dial themselves in..

hmm think rosco is pretty outspoken.. and if he didnt like something he would say so.. he has never been one to hold back i would also say Tai's twitter response of wait for a statement later hinted at the team manager setting the record straight lol.. maybe rosco knew Tai would go mental haha

i hate to say i told you so lol.. why do people hate so much.. this sport is in need of good support not people slating the riders who bring us the glory.. yes he does some things people dont like but hell dont kill him over it.

we are not justifying it we are saying it isnt that bigger deal that everyone is making it.. please take that as read.. not one of us said "well done hit it to the man" we said whoops but it isnt that bigger deal with how life is in 2016 not 1916.. but that is all on the other thread.. is that your only complaint about Tai the GB 2 times world champion.. or are you like the other haters that hate everything about him ??

nope not really.. think he has riden in a GP with worse pain.. and we have all ready read the other thread.... the swearing bit its been done to death like the should Tai ride for GB thread.. this now is all about him not being at a practise that wasnt a practise.. but an open invitation to have a spin if he wanted.. still no Robert72.. wonder where he has gone

and also his other recent visit to the papers..

this is a great point.. one i am sure someone out there can clarify..

this team will all get on they all dont need a team bonding session i am sure they are all grown men they all know what they need to do.. practise or not on the day they will all function as one i am sure.. all these guys will respect Tai as captain and he will do his job as captain and rally the troops..

i cant see rosco being happy about it either.. hence no comment from them.. dont you think rosco would have gone mental already. wait for a full statement from Tai later because he isnt happy people have been bad mouthing him without knowing all the facts.. but as per usual on this forum it is shoot people without know ANY facts at all.. maybe they all went to the same school Tony Blair went to.

maybe next time wait until after the official practise happens this wasnt the official practise session.

Robert72 in the office at home

because he knows no one will put up the cash thus meaning he doesnt have to prove it.. silly bet.. he is bluffing you..

^^^^^ Robert72 in this thread...

Because he never did it

maybe he is making an excuse so his Uk sponsors dont think you are rubbish.. although we know he isnt.. and is actually a very good rider.

no not at all.. quite the opposite really..

i think they do mate.. but ready to be corrected.

and what year was this.. ???
