HAMPEL NICKI PEDERSEN LINDBACK HOLDER

why is it a stupid post? there isnt a lot of skill in riding peterborough just wind it on and occasionally go over the grass! thats why the poles are good round there fast bikes. stick them at lakeside or wolves and they are useless.

Peterboro is such a home advantage track its no wonder the riders cant ride the away tracks

Personally cant stand Darcy Ward as a person, very arrogant and up himself and his head is to big at the moment. BUT...... 1. He was found NOT GUILTY leave it at that 2. He is without doubt the most exciting rider in the world who needs gp's now and the gp's need him. I for one want the best riders in there. 3. Niamh give it up you are making a fool of yourself

What is it with the Darcy bashing? im not a Poole fan by a long shot but im a speedway fan and any tru supporter would realise Ward should be in the GP. I cant understand why people cant get the wild cards. It will be WARD HAMPEL VACULIK plus 1 depending on the result of the challenge. And on form i think they wont leave out AJ or Lindback either. All depends on the challenge!!!

Jonsson Nicki Pedersen Vaculik Lindback

Tai must be praying its Vaculik, Iversen and Lindback from the challenge and that Lindback doesnt make the top 8 then the wild cards apart from Darcy will be wide open. If any of those 3 dont get throught the challenge and Lindback gets 9th then it will be harder for Tai to get a place as i think the organisers will want Vaculik Ward and Lindback in there whichever way it needs to be done

Lucifer Sam (Rob) i wasnt trying to mark down Wiltshires achievements he was a fantastic rider with greta ability and a thoroughly nice guy who without injuries could have done more, but i wouldnt put him near a list of say the 20 most exciting riders. i appreciate you being an oxford fan you would have seen him more than me but its just my opinion

I will state now that unless its as a reserve at cardiff you will NEVER see Cook, Barker, Auty in a grand prix. They are not or will they ever be good enough think that obvious to most people

i have been one of jjr biggest critic but being fair this is a sensible reasoned post

As much as i admire the riding ability of Todd Wiltshire and how he come back to the sport i would not class him as exciting to watch he was a brilliant gater labelled 'the fastest alive over the first 35' at Wimbledon. For pure excitement on a bike it had to be Mark Loram, never was there a guy who continually missed the gate and had to pass rivals. Not only did he pass people he was clean and never hard or dirty.

HANCOCK HOLDER NICKI PEDERSEN HARRIS LITTLE TO LATE -BJERRE & ANDERSEN

The 4 wildcards will be Hampel, Vaculik, Ward and Woffinden. THERE WILL BE A BRIT IN THE SERIES!!! The only way this will change is dependent on the challenge result

i would build the team around Poole Tungate and Heeps. Dak although ok has got one of those averages that doesnt really fit for me and im not sure i would include him. I still thin Tress on a low average might be ok but then lets go and get a genuine number 1 who can guarantee us 12-15 points in 95% of the meetings. At the moment we are hoping Tungate or Poole will but we dont know and even when we have a reserve score 19 we dont have a top liner capable of backing it up. Im sorry but the team was very poorly put together and very slow to react when team changes are needed just look at Scunny and Somerset to see what they did getting Morris and Monberg. Aljacks views are extreme and he does try to wind others up the way he puts things but face facts he is right!

It blatently obvious Lanham should be nowhere near the team and Risager was not signed as a reserve so shouldnt be anywhere near the reserve berth. I would expect Lanham to score well at number 6 it doesnt hide the fact that Risager is a huge let down this season.

There should not be a wildcard in the gp challenge makes it a total joke if Pavlic gets through. Have no problem with the final being held there lets face it someone will have home track advantage where ever it is, and if Pavlic got to the challenge final on merit then of course he has the luck of it being a local track but he didnt and this is so wrong

Following on this is in my opinion the 15 riders i think should be in the series next year: Nicki Pedersen Chris Holder Jason Crump Greg Hancock Emil Sayfutdinov Tomasz Gollob Andreas Jonsson Jaroslaw Hampel Fredrik Lindgren Darcy Ward Martin Vaculik Gregory Laguta Micheal Jepsen Jensen Janusz Kolodziej Niels Kristian Iversen or Tai Woffinden agree/disagree?

There will always be a british rider in the gp series i think thats obvious. I dont agree with it but it will not be allowed to happen without a brit in there. Personally i want to see the best 16 riders in the world in there and none of our riders are in that position. Lets be fair Harris has kept his place on entertainment value alone as when on song he will provide some thrills and spills. His time has come though to be replaced and it can only be Tai or Scott. I think Ward Hampel and Vaculik are nailed on to get in as wild cards if Vaculik doesnt make the challenge qualifiers,then you are looking at Laguta next as well as Iversen. A brit doesnt deserve a place ahead of any of these riders but it would help if Vaculik and Iversen qualified from the challenge freeing up a wild card place. Dont think it matters if there will be 4 aussies and 1 dane. You need to be good enough and if Watt qualifies via the challenge then he will deserve his spot and Ward has to be in. Try a few years back not having Sullivan or Wiltshire in there. If Nicki is the only dane then fair enough and lets be honest if Harris keeps getting wild card after wild card then maybe Bjerre if he came 9th or 10th would be in line for another go. The authorities do like to put 9th and 10th back in a lot of the time!!

Nicki Pedersen Lindgren Hampel/vaculik Hancock

i see Monberg scoring well for Somerset!! thats who we should of gone for i said that weeks ago!

nothing wrong with coventry seen many a good meeting there fim events and nlrc and stuff. im an ipswich fan but our place isnt good enough. just dont hold it at peterboro as mjj would be unbeaten!!! whats wrong with lynn best race track in the country?

Risager captain?!!!!!!!! biggest joke of the season surely he shouldnt be anywhere near the side LET ALONE CAPTAIN!!! a captain is someone you can look up to a leader both on and off the track and to be honest we dont have one, give it to Rohan. the trouble we have is we built very poorly in riders on the way down in the sport, lanham, doolan, risager, we can carry one of those guys as a second string not 2 as heat leaders! we need more up and coming riders like rohan and cam and build this team. hey lets go and get a number 1 maybe? think we probably the only team without one really as our top rider is averaging 7ish i guess. i agree a lot with aljack he isnt blinkered like most on here though a little over the top in the louis criticism i feel but totally right about the team. i also disagree with him about tress as i think he is ok as a second string/reserve.

What an earth is happenin to our club? the weak link the rider who is sucking us down and totally underperforming is Lanham. Doolan to has also been underperforming but we need 2 or 3 changes not just 1. does louis think this will appease the supporters? We now have a heat leader trio of Poole (injured all of season will not be fit to start with and is he a number 1?) Tungate (brilliant season but again is he a consistent number 1?) and Dak which is ok as a third heat leader. What we should have done was bombed out Doolan Lanham and Risager and go for it. If any Ipswich fan thinks this move Poole for Doolan makes us so much stronger they are deluded. by all means we needed changes but not just this one!!!!!!!!!

PAVLIC LINDGREN SAYFUTDINOV HOLDER

People can you not realise what happened here? Im not Nicki Pedersens biggest fan he whinges and moans is over the top hard a lot of the time and basically cant take what he dishes out. BUT.....the stupid joker rule allows this to go on, he played by the rules of the competition nothing more. If people want to see riders racing properly get rid of the rule and it wouldnt have happened. It has happened many times before in the world cup, ok maybe not as obvious but we know it goes on. So summing up i still dislike Nicki but here he did nothing wrong. What would people rather see some deliberate crashes to stop people using the joker get a grip!!
