Peter has been doing this for a while, as in testing. This year all photographers and videographers had to sign a GoSpeed waiver - it's the future, club streaming!

Unlikely, for a start Tai can gate. Plus he'll be powered up by PJR.

Tai said he'd only go in to the series with good sponsorship. I expect him to be a Monster rider next year. As for MJJ wining a GP, yes he did, but Bomber won once too... MJJ has age on his side and if having Tai in can help other British riders in the future then let the lad have a go.

Tai has a better average than MJJ in the UK... MJJ also scored 0 in the GP challenge. Lets level the argument a bit here folks.

Well, considering injury blighted his qualification, he scored 0.

The sarcastic he's not a Brit comment... Getting boring now to be honest. As for MJJ, he may have won a GP but he scored a huge 0 in the GP Challenge. I also love how most people have not even considered the fact he may have refused an invite - like Ward last year... Tai is in, he WILL have the British flag on his chest - that's enough for me. Good luck to him! He can't be any worse than Chris, and to be fair, he has been solid all year despite injury.

No, I spotted it and tried to cancel it after hitting submit. The original release that I received (which was embargoed) had his name off the list as a typo... silly me! It seems you were right SGP.

Nope. It's WARD, HAMPEL, WOFFINDEN and VACULIK... Announcemt should be made Tues/Weds next week.

Well said Phil!

PLAN is for the announcement to be next week. Your 2013 wildcards are (but not officially confirmed): WARD, HAMPEL, WOFFINDEN and VACULIK... I expect the organisers will use the following reasons for their inclusion: WARD - Invited him last year but said he wasn't ready. Has improved in 2012 so a natural choice. HAMPEL - Certainly a World-class rider whose 2012 campaign was ruined by injury. VACULIK - A suprising but capable rider who impressed in 2012 and clearly proved they could mix it at the top level. WOFFINDEN - Second time round, matured as a rider and person, has improved on averages etc... I don't expect everybody to accept the above, but, it's come from a very reliable source and of course, I work at the SGPs so pick-up on a lot of 'talk'...

Hi folks, we're here in Torun and word going round is that there could be another SGP star retiring from the series in 2012. I hope not

AS I have said more than once, Hampel was told several weeks ago to 'prepare for 2013'... Hampel is IN! The others, I expect to be: Ward Woffinden Vaculik

The Monster sponsored series will probably end up with a Monster sponsored rider winning the title. I think it all boils down to the track and [possible] tactical riding by some... and not for the first time I'm flying out on Friday morning, with a few other crew, so we'll see what the tracks like ahead of the big day.

If Bomber didn't rider for GB, he wouldn't be the first. I do remember the late Lee Richardson not wishing to ride for his country due to 'issues' with the BSPA. That said, I do feel Lee's decision was more viable than Chris's - who just wants yet another hand-out.
