JT Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 After a brilliant win (wont take that away from him tonight) surely Hans Andersen deserves a seeded place in next years GP, especially seen as Lindback the so called sensation (just being hard on Poole fans! ) could only manage 2 points and that dodgy Pole who hasn't a chance in hell of winning a GP in his career are in the GP's? I use to be a fan of Andersen untill his World Cup exploits but I would not deny him a place in next years GP series now it seems the likes of Sullivan, Loram and Max are well and truly past it at GP level!

Lanzilla Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 I think he is pretty much guaranteed a GP place next season. If not on merit (which he undoubtably deserves after tonight) then the fact that his sponsors are putting money in benfields' pockets should just about sway it.

Guest richtea78 Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Lanzilla obviously wants to end up in court as well Honestly - as if sponsoring a GP could have any effect on who Benfield give the GP places to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner_girl4eva Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 I think Hans almost certainly was going to be offered a chance to be in the GP next season because he's young, exciting, causes a fair bit of controversey..! Also I think the organisers will want two Danes in the series so he was always going to be given a place. I am concerned about the likes of Sullivan etc getting a GP place for next season, their performances in the series so far have been pretty disastrous and with the Aussies guaranteed 2 riders for next year (and 99% one of them will be Champ) I don't think they'll be bothered about getting a 3rd Aussie. Same with Max, they'll have Rickardsson, Lindback and AJ most likely so I dont think Max will get picked. We are certainly going to see a few new faces in the GPs next year!

Storming Norman Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 I think it depends on the reaction of us the fans. If enough say they wont buy tickets wherever he's chosen as a wild card, he wont be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulli Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 I am concerned about the likes of Sullivan etc getting a GP place for next season, their performances in the series so far have been pretty disastrous and with the Aussies guaranteed 2 riders for next year (and 99% one of them will be Champ) I don't think they'll be bothered about getting a 3rd Aussie. Same with Max, they'll have Rickardsson, Lindback and AJ most likely so I dont think Max will get picked. Surely they can't say that he can't be in the GPs next year because he's Australian? They have to base it on performance because that could be claimed for being racist? I personally don't think Max should be picked because his performance has been bad, ok I know Ryan's hasn't been great but it should go down to something that they can base it on, ie GP wins, rather than where they're from?

Guest richtea78 Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 I was thinking about this for a different reason - Mark Loram. With the reduced field I cant see him getting a place next year as Scott and Lee will probably both need wildcards to get into it. Sullivan and Max dont deserve to qualify either as they have both been poor when they dont really have any good reason to be - Scott had a serious injury that forced him to miss effectively 2 GPs and has hurt his performance all year. Hans will get a wild card though - purely on the grounds that he isnt liked - people will watch to see what he does next or to see him get beaten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
