I'm a little disappointed that Rosco didn't have a punt with Charles Wright for this, rather than his old mate Harris. He's been in good form lately. Earlier this year I bet on the Aussies so will be secretly hoping they can do something
Worrall has not been the same since his broken leg, I thought he'd be a No.1 by now. Bewley also seems to have gone backwards, hope he soon gets back to his best.
Pleased I got that one wrong, well done Panthers and a great guest in Wells. Batchelor was a surprise for me, the way he's been gating and an aussie 'an all.
One swallow and all that. It's one of his favourite tracks. Saw him get a great 15 pointer there for rye house a couple of seasons ago. Made every start bar one and passed Holder in that one.
I've skimmed through the races and didn't think it was too bad actually - there doesn't have to be overtaking for it still be a decent race - positioning and defending are key skills. Don't want to see any more Polish rounds.
To see Fricke getting Fricked was rather ironic but Madsen should have been disqualified there. Is it both him and Dudek that have been banned previously for drugs offences? It's another argument as to whether they should be allowed to compete in the GPs but I'm not keen on it.
Also very interesting in that the GP highlighted the advantages of having the right gate position at the right time. Standard regrades every four heats and at semi/final stages always spoils things for me as those races immediately prior are often better contested/more unpredictable.
I think that's owhat would please the current hardcore fans but it's the whole experience which could attract new followers. At present, between races its dull, the environment is poor with few seats/liitle rain cover at many tracks, presentation tired and no alternative entertainment in the downtime (and I don't mean on the centre green)
