Its easier to finish in the best 8 riders in the world than it is to get through qualifiers with next to no GP riders?

No, his argument is just something you don't like. Nick Morris signed for Glasgow for 2011 and at the end of the 2011 season he is a free agent. No team can just own a rider, if any rider wanted to move badly enough and their club didn't allow it then all they'd have to do is challenge it properly.

I can see Mr. S's point, assets should count for nothing yet no doubt the usual ways will carry on.

6/10.

Yes. In the Elite League section - http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=67432

And for 2011 none of the three faced even a single GP rider as far as I can see.

Good choices IMO. As for claiming the likes of Pedersen and PePe have more right than Lidngren, how does that work? Lindgren finishes 9th in the world in a GP series yet is deemed not worthy, the others qualify through 4/5 meetings and beat no GP riders yet are worthy?

Easy mistake to make Alan81, thankfully some are more understanding.

Would be fun if it was on a 6am or whatever like the Aussie F1. All part of the attraction.

It would be more fun if Holder and Ward ended up falling out when they are both fighting for WCs. Imagine the battles and possible publicity that would bring.

Debatable.

Classic race, back when Poole was a true racers track.

ARE THEY DANNNCING TOGETHER?

There is something wrong that a rider can qualify through the GP challenge without beating a GP rider in the final.

Might as well just change it to top 8 or so qualify and the rest compete in the GP challenge. Lets face it no-one outside the top 8 currently would be missed.

Just someone different. Everyone knows Ward is GP standard and will probably be in for 2012, why not give someone else a try to see if they are.

Again?

My god are there actually people like this out there? Get a grip!

Is the Eastbourne training track not still running? I know it used to a while back. Hope someone can give you some more details.

Shame its Zagar, already ridden in Terenzano and not as good to watch anymore.

Neither Harris nor Lindgren deserve a place IMO. Both have shown that on the whole they are not good enough. Lets bring some new faces in, hopefully some exciting riders to make up for Bjarne/PePe.

Hard but perfectly fair ride from Laguta.

Top performance from Ward it must be said, he didn't seem fazed by it at all. As for talking about debuts in GPs, Emil's was very good but Ward's was equally as good if not better IMO, to come in half-way through a GP season and beat some of those riders in the way he did was incredible.
