frigbo Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Heat 16 is looking a bit tasty. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Poor old Gaffer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 To be honest he would be slaughtered in every GP, he wouldn't be doing himself any favours. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course he would - he'll never, ever, as long as the sun is in the sky be GP standard. So why the hell do the Sky duo of Millard and Pearson keep talking about him as a GP star of the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also better than some of the others that have featured in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickstart Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 WOOOO HOOOOOO 13 [66.9]: Chris Harris, Kaj Laukkanen, Simon Stead, Piotr Protasiewicz GO BOMBER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Harris is looking handily placed for the final - 9 points after 4 heats. Only cloud on the horizen is, he's up against Andersen in his final outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Even that hope has gone now, another win for Bomber! giving him 9. Steady languishing on 5, bad last for Pepe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott0311 Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 3 more points for Bomber. 2 points from his last race (heat 17) behind Hans should give him a final spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwineTown Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 "Gafurov was on his way to pass the entire field on bends one/two but got a long trip to the boards. Gafurov fought like an animal to gain a point but Kosciecha kept his cool for the point. " Good old Renat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) Can Gafurov throw a cat among the pigeons here? I think Holta will struggle for the final unless he gets a 1st or 2nd in Ht 16. Edited August 19, 2006 by Subedei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Even that hope has gone now, another win for Bomber! giving him 9. Steady languishing on 5, bad last for Pepe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Everyone goes on about Stead.. but Harris always out performs him at international level.. Bomber steps up..

Subedei Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I'd say the final will be: Andersen PK Jagus Holta A 2nd won't do for Harris - Holta has an easier final heat and will win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scousedave Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I agree Harris is a good improving rider, but its not fair to Simon Stead for people to say he is nowhere near good enough for the GP when there are worse riders than him who have taken part in the Series.

Subedei Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 And it is 11 points for Harris - a worthy and noble performance from him. I don't think he'll make the final, but he's given a good account of himself. The competition was very tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody-the-bee Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I agree Harris is a good improving rider, but its not fair to Simon Stead for people to say he is nowhere near good enough for the GP when there are worse riders than him who have taken part in the Series. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And they were nowhere near good enough either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I'd say the final will be: Andersen PK Jagus Holta A 2nd won't do for Harris - Holta has an easier final heat and will win it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Both off Gate 1, from where Holta just ran a 3rd. Up to Stead to do his fellow Brit a favour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 And they were nowhere near good enough either <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Absolutely. And that was probably back in the days when a GP had more than 16 riders. Stead will never, ever be 16-rider GP standard. Not ever. Never.

Subedei Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) Holta makes light work of gate 1 to claim a final place. Stead helps himself to another last place. Edited August 19, 2006 by Subedei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concrete Cowboy Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I wonder if this performance will get Harris a wildcard place ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
