Many congratulations to Bomber very well deserved. Seen him at Arligton a few times this year he has been flying.

Lets face it the whole GP smacks of nepotism. With the exception of Crump, Pedersen, Adams, Hancock, Gollob and a few others who are there on merit. The rest of the field is made up of a few other qualifiers and the rest is down to selection by BSI. The selection process is not based on the ability of the riders more like who is the best commercial option for BSI. I can fully understand the frustration felt by Hans Andersson, he is far better thab most of the other also rans and doesn't even warrant a place. I have to say that Lee Richardson is fast becoming a joke at the GP's and the only reason he is there is because there isn't another brit waiting in the wings. I would like to see Simon Stead given a chance next year, he can't do any worse than Richardson. Scott Nicholls may qualify by right bext year but he is never going to break into the top five he just isn't good enough for that. Riders like Crump and Pedersen are hungry for success Nicholls doesn't appear to have the determination to succeed at the highest level. I saw Nicholls get beat by Lewis Bridger a few weeks ago so I think the writing is on the wall for him. I wish Scott all the best for the remainder of the season but until there is qualifying method for the GP's so you are there on merit nothing will change. Unfortunately because of the influence held by BSI,Sky and Ole Olsen I cannot see things improving.

Sorry if this has been asked before but what is the prize money on offer to the riders and how is it distributed?
