Ignoring the fact he failed to qualify then? Interesting. So where's this years Slovenian rider? And Italian? And German?

Or, you know, you just pick bad riders?

Well done Raf

Can we make any transfers yet?

Dobrucki to win it.

It's pretty pathetic they can't manage the spelling of 'Lukas'

I've been saying to SCB + others that he'd be fine in the Gp's when everyone was writing him off.

Zagar got 7.

Lukas Dryml 20,000 Leigh Adams 50,000 Andreas Jonsson 40,000 Krzstof Kasprzak 30,000 Nicki Pedersen 60,000 = 200,000 Captain for opening GP - Leigh Adams

Timing of the Biritsh final is wrong for that to happen this year.

Averages.

Dryml to make the top 10

Can't say I agree, for the example I gave earlier. If Nicki/Crump/Andersen was out for the season after the first GP in your mind would that mean that they weren't elligable for a wildcard spot?

Had the same 3 qualified and same 8 finished in the top 8, what 4 picks would you have gone for? The 4 that were chosen? Not having a dig just curious to see whether you think they've gone to the right 4. I personally believe wildcards are essential. For example if Nicki Pedersen gets injured in the 1st round of the GP and is out for the season it gives BSI, and now IMG, the option to put him back in, whereas with no wildcards he wouldn't br granted this reprieve. I don't agree with quite how it's done though, possibly a max of 2 picked by BSI/IMG would suit me, making the GP qualification process far more worthwhile with more spaces up for grabs.

Indeed. But saying Hampel deserves a place over Dryml when he didn't qualify isn't correct. After that point it's in BSI's hands, but as far as the qualification method goes you can't say the rider doesn't deserve to be in it or shouldn't be in it.

But Lukas qualified, you can't claim he doesn't deserve to be or shouldn't be there. Hampel should have qualified if he wanted to be in it

Come on greg, you know it makes sense

I trust we'll see you in the Irish bar to discuss midget kicking again?

Hancock hits one just coming off the bend which sends him off line. Brilliant racing head from Harris to capitalise on it.

Lindgren, Jonsson, Harris and Kasprzak. I think Hampels had his chance with Kasprzak looking the far better rider at the moment.

Whilst I really don't want to take anything away from an amazing ride from Chris Harris, Greg hit a rut on that last bend which gifted harris that run to the line. If Greg had ridden the same line on that corner as he did the lap before Hancock would have held on.

Only Harris video I could find where he hasnt won from the back

Do you think that Harris couldn't have stayed on in that race? Managed it there with even more contact than Nicholls gave Harris in Germany.

If the best you have is 'nicholls is dirty and desperate' I suggest you watch it again. It's nothing more than a racing incident that unbalances harris, many other riders would have stayed on in the same situation. I like them both but that's the way Britain needed the result if we wanted to see both of them next season in the GP's.
