BritPete Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I suppose that this meeting will include a grand final? yes, I'm sure it will, and that is what makes it so unpredictable. It's fine in the GP series, because there are several meetings, but, in a one-off event like this, I believe it's totally unfair, but no doubt it's what sky want. The problem is of course that the rider who dominates in the heats, often finds that a 6th ride is a ride too many, and someone that has struggled to the final on 11 points, or something similar, makes one good start--and he wins it! It's happened many times before, and it will probably happen again. The only fair way to find out who is the best man on the night is to revert to the original format, not this stupid grand final nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PanthersChamp06 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Anyone mentioned Lee Richardson? Always seems to step up another level when Sky are at a meeting, other than the GP's that is! A Lee R, PK, KK podium would be nice <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll save my money after his quite Simply Rubbish peformance at the Showground. I'm going for PK beacuse he is on great odds 25/1 is a joke! And I'll go with Hans just beacuse hes a Panthers rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) Steve Johnston and David Howe in the line up what a joke?? Surely Simon Stead , Adam Shields Piotr Prot , Joonas or HKI all on averages about 9 are worthy of a place rather than the afore mentioned . David Howe's form has been dreadful. How do they choose the reserves?? Edited April 16, 2006 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 So you'd be happy that you wipe out representation from two clubs? Would you say the same thing if Eastbourne had to track lower averaged riders through no fault of their own? David Howe and Johno aren't reserves - they're the next available from Arena and Oxford.

David Howe and Johno aren't reserves - they're the next available from Arena and Oxford. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As I presume its done on last years averages to get into the ELRC , David Howe or Jonno wouldnt have got a look in if they had stayed with their teams last year . Just seems rediculous having it so early and having riders competing who are out of form this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Just seems rediculous having it so early and having riders competing who are out of form this year. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But there's method in the madness. Holding it early means that the ELRC line-up will include TR and AJ. That was the theory, anyway. I reckon BP deserves to win it if he makes it to the meeting. Top marks to guy for his dedication. Two meetings for Poole on Good Friday, a meeting for Torun yesterday, today the ELRC and tomorrow another meeting in Poland for Torun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Witch Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 From an Ippo view point I'd love to see Pepe riding rather than either Mark or Loobie on current form. But the current line up is far better than we've suffered the last few years. Go on the Ippo boys and Hans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garf Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 How come that some clubs have 2 riders in and others only one ? How is that decided ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 How come that some clubs have 2 riders in and others only one ?
