I didn’t say it does. I’m challenging your assertion that it’s ‘woke’ and a ‘diversity box ticking’ exercise though.

I’m not defending their inclusion

Whatever ‘woke’ means. A word now used when people disagree with an outcome. It’s lazy. It’s nothing to do with diversity. You think the fact that Kai Huckenback and Jan Kvech are German and Czech respectively and there are Grands Prix in those nations is merely a coincidence?

And that's woke is it? I'm not sure i agree with the wildcard choices but describing it as "woke" is ridiculous tbh.

Wokeness? Deary me

That’s not the way it works. If you don’t unilaterally sanction countries then you might as well not bother in the first place. Do I think Laguta and Sayfudinov are worthy of a place? Absolutely. I can equally see why they still shoudn’t be included though.

Yeah never mind about rider safety as long as people are watching.

What’s with the Doyle love in? He’s the second most annoying thing at GPs. Only beaten by the wally in the headset. I wonder what they have in common?….

Why is it a weird take? He’s dangerous on the track, doesn’t have a chance to win the world champs realistically so don’t understand the clamour.

He’s dangerous and past it. Give youth a chance.

Doyle should be binned but he’s the darling so won’t be.

I suspect if it could be argued that Kemp’s points were the difference in the overall result then it would be looked at. Amateurish but academic really.

He had last season too but ultimately was back. Doesn’t sound like it’s on the cards for 2025 though.

I don’t think that would be a good move for either side.

Decent top three for the championship. I’d keep Max James as the 2.00 for next season though

Would absolutely love this

If it can be sorted I’d have him back. In fact I’d have both brothers in the team

Just caught up on the final and that’s vintage Josh Pickering. “Kissing” the boards taking the fast way round. Class act.

I’d be picking up the phone to Stevie Worrall to ride at no.1. Also, what’s the deal with Richie? Does he have a ban length?

Wasn’t Madsen 4th anyway?

Feel sorry for Lebedevs. Very unlucky to end up in such a strong semi final.

I’ll take that as a yes. It’s 2024 mate, not 1952.

This was funny in your head right?

I didn’t suggest that; I merely pointed out that it wasn’t impossible as was suggested. All trains on the east coast mainline between Peterborough and Edinburgh from lunchtime onwards were on time or only very slightly delayed.

The east coast mainline ran well all day. It’s irrelevant as she didn’t make it but for the original poster to suggest it was impossible is just wrong.
