iris123 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 If i've got this right it looks like reserves for the GP's have been announced 19.H.Andersen 20.R.Sullivan 21.T.Chrzanowski 22.K.Bjerre 23.R.Holta 24.S.Andersson No Brit,i see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Can we assume from that, that Hans Andersen has accepted BSI's invitation then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garf Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 What a major laugh to put the Pole in front of KB on this list, and I do not mean the Norwegian Pole. Hans A. is OK, but then I think KB should have been on as second reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerblues Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) 21.T.Chrzanowski <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What a joke Has all on getting to the starts never mind actually racing. Think I saw one good race from him this year, towards the end mind you. I agree, get Bjerre above him, why he's even in the list is beyond me, but KB should be in the GP anyway, not below Tomasz(add more 'z' and 's' is needed )whatshisname....

Chrzanowski despite his utter most to try and prove himself at a world level, as comments like this throw it him. He put lots of money into the bikes, turns himself out well for the Gps, never miss any things with them. With how much money he placed into the Gps he deserves a reserve place. Remember back at Vojens in 2004, he actually beat Bjerre to get into GPs. He done something 7 riders in the GPS 2006 havent, be in the World Championship in on merit.

Subedei Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I wonder if Subedei still has the energy to name a few riders without such merit's.. I'll save energy and just name two: Scott Nicholls and Lee Richardson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are all the riders that failed to qualify from last time. Still think that having picked Lee Richardson every one that finished ahead of him should have been picked also.

tigerblues Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Yeah he tries and spends money but the real question isn't about what he's like, but why is he in the GP, or a reserve anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are Scott Nicholls and Lee Richardson in the GPs? It's an equally, if not more, valid question. Unlike Nicholls and Richardson, Chrzanowski was in the 2005 GPs on merit. He qualified, they didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerblues Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 (edited) Why are Scott Nicholls and Lee Richardson in the GPs? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nicholls finished 1 place off qualifying, Richardson came 2nd in a GP and Chrzanowski won about 2 races if that.

Assuming you mean "Nicholls finished 1 place off qualifying", that means Nicholls, for the second year running, didn't qualify. Chrzanowski, on the other hand, did qualify for 2005.

Thank God for seeing sense in Qualifiers. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dont agree with there been no qualifying rounds, and i think it was stupid purely seeding riders... But come on we all want to see British riders in it, i am just fed up with the permanent moaning about the decision. Purely on seeding you would have to agree Nicholls should be in the top 16.. I dont care about past performance in GP's i just want to see the BEST 16 riders.. I also think the like of Andersen and Holta should be ahead of Lindback...

Subedei Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 They both failed, they should both be out. The qualification criteria was quite simple: you finished in the top 8 and you qualified. Nicholls didn't, Chrzanowski didn't. But you keep trying to justify it, although deep down you know Nicholls is only there because he's British. It's been 21 GPs since he last made a final.
