BSI still haven't changed "provisional" to confirmed on their website!

Oi, I never said Mark was the "best" british rider ever, just the most "popular", and then I corrected myself and changed it to "in his era" so you lot are vehemently exchanging views for the sake of it

It keeps him cooooool man, what with his ice and his fan, he's obviously soooooooooo HOT ..... Well either that or he can't bear his hair being flattened by his helmet and uses the fan to spike it up again

Even the stand in race director prepared the track to Ole's liking tonight

A fantastic ride in the final, congratulations!

Well done geepeeargh, someone from aus will be pleased, can he buy it on the net?

Oh dear Perhaps it should have read "the most popular british rider of his time"

IF it's confirmed, why the heck haven't BSI changed it to confirmed on their website? Don't they want anyone to attend??

My feeling is the BSPA are cutting off their nose to spite their face, yes rules must be obeyed but for the sake of a piece of paper why make an example of Mark Loram, the most popular british rider ever?

The fact still remains that the fans WANT to see Mark race in the British Championship

IF Mark would have liked to ride he'd be the first rider on my list, the public love the bloke! I agree with others, the British Under 21 champion ought to be in there, another little incentive for the riders who compete in the meeting .......... So Kennett, Neath, Allen, Hurry, Ashworth and Gary Stead qualified Richardson Nicholls Barker Simon Stead Screen Norris Howe Harris Smith Lanham Apart from Loram and Wilson who would you want there? Andre Compton? Danny King? Lawson? Wright? Bridger? Bird? Wilko, Compton and D King were the next highest scorers from the qualifier. Difficult one apart from Mark and Ben imo.

Too right SJW!!

Perhaps Olly Allen should be in the squad, he's gating and riding really well at the mo.

Thanks for that Mr Clemens, I, too, visited Wroclaw last year for the WTC and certainly enjoyed my visit. We took a look at the "Raclawice Panorama" (had to copy and paste that, would have never remembered the spelling!) and were impressed by the painting and the ambience of the building. We also loved the old squares, picturesque by day and by night, and would recommended a visit to anyone. As for the pride of the polish people, I will never forget them standing and chanting, "Polska, Polska" ........... I was so pleased for them on their WTC win, the riders and the supporters

Thanks SWM ............ I can organise my visit now

They couldn't charge the same price in Poland as over here, the Poles just don't earn that sort of money, most of them don't anyhow ................

Well when are ultra professional BSI gonna let the world know where the SWC Race Off and Final is going to be held, pretty important for those who intend to fly into GB for the meetings or want to book holiday off etc ................. why not King's Lynn if Reading isn't up to it

Have I missed a press release or has it still not yet been decided that the SWC race off and final will be held at Reading?

When is the last GP, will the british fans be the first to salute the new World Champion I wonder?

Is an airfence going to be employed for this meeting does anyone know?

Congrats to Crumpy, disappointed for Leigh, chuffed for Zagar and Hampel, Jarek Hampel, Jarek .......... shall never get that out of my head from last year at the SWC lol Not half such a good GP racing wise as Slovenia, could have been though, so much scope to pass given the right conditions

Poor bloke, best wishes to him

Most of us were concerned that he might find it too hard for the EL, lose confidence and at worse, get knocked about. I'm just damned disappointed he's not in the PL because we miss out watching him racing on our tracks, at least we have Holder, Lawson, Boxall, Troy, Wright, Doyle, Kings etc etc who are pretty exciting young prospects whatever track they are visiting in the PL

Not surprised m8, you were on your 15th pint or summat like that

Was it late finishing, never noticed ............ hehe Really good to see these young riders going hell for leather and giving it all they got at Saddlebow Road, hope we get a similar meeting next season too, very entertaining!! The track held up really well, OF COURSE so the riders could do themselves justice all meeting. Ben Wilson lead from the front literally, well done that young man! Danny King was also making some good gates and riding the right lines (unlike some on the night!) .............. with him and Ben both finishing with 14 points, either of them would have been deserved winners. Lewis Bridger, a thrill a minute he was, BUY the DVD and see for yourself! I guess he'll be able to hone his gating technique for the future but for now he's obviously honing his passing techniques for which he can't be faulted as far as us fans are concerned!!!!! Steve Boxall rode well all night and fully deserved his place in the final, I'd imagine he had to use at least a different frame in the second running of the final following his fall, not sure if it hindered him or not although with the determined Bridger going all out behind him to pass he would have been hard pressed to keep the bronze position whatever. I was disappointed that William Lawson couldn't make it, he would surely have been up amongst the winners on the night, damn exam Having watched that last night it certainly makes you want to witness some of the World Under 21 rounds, I wonder how much a flight costs to Italy in September One thing, messrs Oliver and Cockle, yep your impressions were pretty good, you can join us fans on the terraces any time ........ cheeky little sods
