I was pleased for Greg, this GP win has been long overdue! But also gutted for Anton like everyone else, it was a really bad case of deja vu! I can't imagine how he felt when those red lights came on, poor guy. But well done to him anyway, second place is still great! And hopefully he'll make the final again next GP

I doubt that, the new Hans is here to stay I reckon. His riding probably at the start of the season was to prove his point after being left out of the GPs, but now he's proven his point (more than once in fact ) he's still riding incredibly, not just in the GPs but absolutely everywhere. So I'd be VERY surprised if he goes back to the form he had when he was last in the GPs.

Hear hear!!

Same, there's no way they'll have four! Nicki and Hans are in there already, so if Bjarne doesn't make the top eight, then they'll give him a wildcard and leave Niels out I reckon. Tough for Niels, but I think four Danes is way too many. I think wildcard-wise it'll maybe be: Bjarne (if he doesnt make the top eight) Antonio (ditto) Scott (ditto) And then another Swede or another Brit - most likely Peter Karlsson or Mark Loram, Chris Harris? I can't say Lee getting another wildcard personally.. Of course that's providing that the likes of Gollob and Hampel don't make the top eight (actually nine, cos of Hans).. Hmm.. kinda confusing isn't it?

Completely ridiculous last night!! He talks as if he knows nothing about the sport, and we want a commentator that's knowledgable! The funniest bit was when Nicki Pedersen was on the phone to the ref and Millard said "There's Lee Richardson on the phone". Um, what???

Yep, Bridger.

Has that ever been done before?

I'm really looking forward to tonight, I love GPs! As to the winner, I have no idea... there's a few who think can go and win it. I suspect Crump will probably dominate as usual, but I'd like to see someone who hasn't won a GP this year win - especially Hancock, he really deserves a win after all the effort he's put in this year.

Yeah I'd love to see Loram back in it, he's been great this season. And I dunno about Stead and Harris... I don't really think they're quite ready yet. So put Loram in I say.

Jesus, another "Let's slag off Hans" thread?!? We get that you don't like him, why do you have to keep going on about it? Gaaaaarrgggghh And oh yeah, I agree with everyone else - I think he was just annoyed that he let two riders through, and didn't win it like he wanted to. How does that make him a bad loser?

I doubt there are any sanctions taken, the ref's word is final isn't it?

Yeah maybe that post is a tad overboard.... She does have a point (about the Zagar thing) but I really don't think she needs to yell it so loudly!

He's a good rider but he always seems to be whining about something or other, and that just really gets on my nerves.

Yeah I think he got it wrong too. I mean, you could see that Scott gave him a right clout on the replays! Good on Scott for coming second in the GP and all, but he really shouldn't have been there. I also feel really bad for Greg as well, cos he was going through to the final when the race was stopped. Jason's just zipped even further in front of him now! He must be so bummed.

Definitely! I'm sure he'll do all he can to ensure he can ride tomorrow

Flashback to my English class lol

Either way he'll be in, I don't mind which way he does it!

Yeah but if he goes and does it, it'll be so annoying for him. And can someone tell me what happened with Mark Loram in 1999? That was the year before I really got into speedway, so I don't know what happened.

Wait, so he can't qualify? Even if he finishes in the top eight?! How does that work?

Scotty punched a supporter at Kings Lynn?!?!? Tell me more, tell me more!

Wondering if you'd be saying the same thing if it was a foreign rider who'd done the "good tactics" to a Brit, Ironside?

Yeah I don't think it's first qualified reserve, it's just first reserve full stop. I guess cos he's the best rider who didn't get into the GPs (grrr) he got nominated to fill all the places of riders dropping out. Thats right, right?

I'd presume Ian Thomas just forgot about it...
