SuzieQ Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Thought I remember the Berlin track/mudbath that year was an american football stadium, so not a regular real track.

masked_rooster Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 if Loram is to be a wild card for 2007 then it has to be at the expense of Richardson who consitantly fails to finish in the top eight qualifying places year in year out. BSI will always include brits wether they qualify in the top eight or not to keep its gem Cardiff bubbling.with the way BSI have gone with its wild cards this year i would expect either Harris or Stead will join Nichols in 2007 if they fail in the GP challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subedei Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Well you'd be wrong then. 24 rider format has been used since 1999 AFAIK. It was tweaked a little circa 2002 I think (can't rememebr how tho! Mind playing trick maybe?) Loram had to win his title with the all sudden death format. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But he didn't win a single GP during the year he became world champion.

Guest chris26 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yep, Mark also gets my vote for a GP wild card place, also a return to the Pirates next season would be very nice!. Come on Mark, you know it make sence!!. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yep, mark loram is full value for money IMHO loramski will be a Witch next season, no doubt about it.

tigerblues Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'd love to see Loram back in the GPs but we absolutely need to be bringing these young British riders through. No way is Loram past his best, no way is he too old, but he isn't particularly young either, now at the moment our 2 most promising riders seem to be Bomber and Steady, out of the 2 I have to favour Chris Harris but both are coming on well. The other British talent is Danny King, James Wright, Edward Kennett to a lesser extent, all of which aren't ready to even be a wildcard IMO. Presuming Scott Nicholls keeps getting points in and finished in the top 8 and providing Lee Richardson doesn't get yet another chance and not make the top 8 we only get 1 Brit qualifying. Personally I cannot see Harris or Steady getting a place through the qualifiers so if it was up to me I'd go with 1 Brit, or Nicholls and Harris. But of course the former can't happen, I mean Scott Nicholls can't sell all those Cardiff tickets himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 But he didn't win a single GP during the year he became world champion. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Back in 2000 there was no same riders winning grand prix in grand prix out, so basically it came down to consistent scoring. In my eyes this makes a better World Champion as it was worked for in a different way to just winning all the time, ok a tad bias being a Loram fan I know The last couple of years have been "I wonder who'll come 2nd" because top spot was already a fore gone conclusion.

Subedei Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I heard a rumour that Vincent Vega is in negotiations to take over BSI - you young ladies still willing to, er, negotiate over Loram's inclusion in 2007? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Sorry sa much as I like Mark Loram there is no way he should be allowed back into the Grand Prix, Mark is the past Bomber and Steady are the future, we need to encourage them.
