That would be some unsatisfactory start TR!
Perhaps it's as well with all the uncertainty over where the start is, it's a good job we know where the finish is!
I can't understand how so many people seem have access to the pits. Fair enough I accept that many are at the event by invitation from a rider or sponsor etc; but these days it seems too easy to hang around in the pits.
I know of someone at Cardiff who decided to move from his seat to spend part of the meeting in the pits and managed to do it quite easily and without being challenged by anyone!
My unbiased view was that it should have been a no brainer to exclude Holder. I have previously thought Ackroyd is a poor referee and he proved it again tonight.
I'm thinking of flying to Gothenburg instead, a longer journey to Malilla but I can take in the Lejonen vs Nassjo fixture on the way back on Sunday! Those flying to Stockholm Skavsta, who catch the later flight back on Sunday could also take in the meeting at Eskilstuna.
Great - last time I went (in 2010) it was rained off and I missed the re-staging the next day. Really looking forward to seeing a GP this time.
Flying out to Zagreb from Gatwick on Friday
In recent seasons it has been the highest placed riders from British Final of the previous year so:-
Nicholls
Harris
Woffinden
Kennett
Barker
Richardson
Nicholls has withdrawn so Lewis Bridger and Stuart Robson are next in line.
Chris Louis was also at Leicester on Saturday evening.
Made me laugh when during the GP one of Pearson/Louis referred to Huewen and Ermolenko as back in the studio!
