  1. He has a 7.5 starting average, so of course some meetings he will score under 7. Under this heat format most heat leaders will have the odd meeting where they score very low. If kl want to strengthen its porsing I would look at replacing not bjerre.
  2. Should Portugal drop Ronaldo for turning his back on their domestic league? Argentina drop messi, Wales drop Bale, France drop Ribery, Brazil drop Neymar etc.
  3. While bjerre's score was disappointing I think there is some over reaction. He won his first ride then had engine problems in his next. He was them beaten by Hans (twice), Harris and howarth, round Swindon you'd probably only expect him to have picked up one at most two points there.
  4. Tai, bomber and Nichols are all well worthy of places in the pairs. The likes of cook are equal or better than manzares or the Germans/Latvians.
  5. and of course PC was never the same rider after his injury at cradley in late 1980, a meeting he is adamant should never have gone ahead due to the conditions.
  6. You really could put together the Mensa dream team from forum members...
  7. I can't believe someone could seriously suggest pricing equivalent events the same on UK and Poland. Perhaps you could ask your local why their pints are more expensive than in Poland? Your boss will probably oblige however if you ask to be paid a polish equivalent salary. By the way - are you walking to and from the airport at each end when u go to Poland?
  8. Would add also that Greg and Nicki may not have been "ring leaders" but rather spokespeople for the riders due to their experience. I seem to recall Ivan mauger being accused of stirring up the riders over an unfit track at the 81 inter continental final, but penhall came out subsequently and said the riders had asked him to be their spokesperson. In that meeting the riders voted 14-2 to abandon the meeting,but the meeting continued. One of the two hqppenned to be ole Olsen, who was also co promoter of the meeting!
  9. At least it won't be the worst gp this year....
  10. Tbf bomber's bikes looked quick which is a big improvement on last year. And he was competitive from the start line. Great to see
  11. Issue for the customer may be that pzm hold off any pay out until any action against bsi is settled. Do fim appoint the meeting officials and if so do bsi have any opportunity to counterclaim citing precedence of meetings completed on worse surfaces (I assume they don't have any such option but maybe someone can confirm). Of course we also don't know yet how accurate the pzm state ment is and whether their contract with bsi precludes them from seeking liquidated damages in any case. Wonder when bsi will make a statement. Before or after Darcy?
  12. Really don't understand that choice of guest. Surely makes aces weaker in at least 3 heats than r\r?
  13. Haven't read all the comments but my two cents: 1 what a fuvking farce 2 thanks goodness Bydgoszcz is out and warsaw in!
  14. Zagar/Nichols should outscore Hans/Harris by 2 or 3. Cook/stead should match king/joonas or outscore by a point or 2. Fricke tovoutscore Robson by 4. Coventry prob score a couple more at reserve. Could still go either way but aces need to win to show they are genuine play off material
  15. Aces by 6 I reckon so long as their reserves can match the Coventry reserves within a point or two.
  16. Lucozade monster and red bull all pretty tasty IMO. Agree with two that I'd rather have a single malt. And would seem a certain rider prefers beers to his sponsor's beverage.
  17. Tai nicholls and Harris are clearly some way ahead of the rest. For kl round would includr Lambert. Beyond that, Lawson is the in form rider so would use him, or if Nichols unavailable.
  18. why buy a dishwasher if jacques is happy doing them for him? Id be saving the cash for self defence lessons if oldass was coming down to sort me out...
  19. but the question wasn't "why is bomber in the series?"It was "why is he underprepared again?" a lot of people have jumped into this thread without reading the op it seems.
  20. Gollob 50 More janowski 25 more Mjj 25 more hampel 50 more holder 50 less thanks
  21. Probably alreadt discussed on the best pairs thread. agree with bspa not releasing riders if there is a clash, but disagree with absence of a british/englsnd pair.
  22. Didnt scb say just a few pages back he could make it work in a few minutes? Think leicester will more than double their lead over remaining heats, but obviously hope not. No decent guests available to cover for zagar?
  23. Where would the riders come from to take teams from sevrn men to a 12 man squad? And where would the money come from to pay a retainer to these riders? And why would a rider sign up to a side knowing he may not be used and hence get no point money? You can understand it in poland given the better potential earnings and opportunity to develop as a rider. Edit: agree with scbs concept of guest pool however.
