Trees Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 What was I saying on the other thread ..................... Mock ........... lol ................... pot kettle black!!!!!!!!!!!! As for Norris, if he thinks he can do a job and wants to go badly then why not, who knows, if he can gate in Denmark like he gates at some tracks then ..............

Bryce Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 After watching last night's meeting, I may have to revise my opinion slightly. It wasn't the actual riding that caused me to change my mind, but rather an interview. Dean Barker seemed so angry about not being included in the GP and the GB set up regularly. If he brought that passion to the squad for the WTC, then he would undoubtedly be an asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 I agree Bryce. For any representative team I think the first question asked should be "do you really want to ride?" and if the answer is "no" then no matter who they are don't bother selecting them. I'd rather a team of PL riders who really wanted to ride rather than a team of EL riders who are only riding because they are expected to and don't have their heart in it.

Jo_1515 Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 I would include Barker but not Norris. He was on his home track tonight and he scored 4. He doesn't look like he wants to go and he can't ride away tracks anyway. I would go with Nicholls Richardson Barker Howe Harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 I remember Neil Middleditch picking a squad of 10 or 11 last year, so here's mine: Scott Nicholls Lee Richardson Mark Loram Dean Barker David Howe On stand-by: Joe Screen David Norris Carl Stonehewer Stuart Robson Simon Stead Chris Harris Hopefully, Mark will change his mind and ride in the 5-man races!

shazzybird Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 I've just watched the meeting from last night and in his first race David Norris was bogged with an engine failure whilst leading........ big shame this lad really wanted to ride and do well last night, unfortunately it just was not his night, that does not reflect on how he would race if put into the WC squad maybe he would have more determination as he would now have something to prove to Middlo and all the fans that he is worthy of a World Cup place.......... Dean Barker he said about not riding at Cardiff, maybe he should have been given a place there, being his testimonial year as well it would have been fitting for him to have a go for himself and his country. Well worth a place in the World Cup Squad x (I'm sounding more like an Eastbourne fan every posting........

Derwent Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 I think Barker should be included, but definitely not Norris. Away from Arlington he is not the same rider and also he is very inconsistent. My final 5 would be :- 1) Nicholls (obvious choice) 2) Richardson (another obvious choice) 3) Stonehewer (class rider and a great "team player") 4) Howe (probably the best of the young uns at the moment) 5) Barker (deserves his chance) When is the final squad being announced, does anybody know ?

Eagles Fan Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 My team for the World cup would be:- 1.Nicholls 2.Screen 3.Richardson 4.Barker 5.Stonehewer I think we are going to struggle without Loram!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 According to http://www.crash.net/news_detail.asp?champ...0&language_id=1 the team is:- Scotty Nicholls Lee Richardson Dean Barker Gary Havelock One from Bomber, Shaggy, Stoney, David Norris & Stuart Robson States that he will take possibly six riders, I'd take Bomber and Stonet myself.
