stevehone Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Kennett, who booked one of the five GP qualifying round slots on offer last night, added: "I'm not thinking about the 2008 GP at the moment. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> lack of ambition there? with GP's, everything is sorted a year in advance.

shazzybird Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 he did have a Union Jack on his kevlars last night! it was in the corner of the Aussie flag on his arm <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quality Mr Hone Whoooosh <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Kennett said: "I'm gutted I missed out on the wild card but there is nothing I can do about it now. "I will just have to go to Cardiff as first reserve, enjoy the experience and see how it goes." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So Edward gets a reserve berth, might not be a wildcard yet might get to ride and be cheered on by all the British fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 couldn't see that from where i was standing tbh but was it part of the aussie flag or just our union jack flag? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> try looking HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Witch Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Kennett said: "I'm gutted I missed out on the wild card but there is nothing I can do about it now. Far from being despondent, Kennett added: "It is all good experience racing in meetings like this. Looks like the Poole fans are making more fuss than Ed is. Showing a maturity with those statements. Former British, world champion and ex-Pirate Mark Loram, who was at Wolves last night, said: "Ed can hold his head high. "It was just the home track advantage that David Howe had. But Ed rode brilliantly tonight." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Shame on you Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Yes he did Loram said Howe had HTA on Sky, loud and clear for all to hear. http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/pir..._qualifiers.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Witch Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I remember him saying Howe had home track advantage, but I can't remember him saying he JUST had home track advantage as stated in the paper report. That one word makes a lot of difference imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerblues Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Few things about last night.. Chris Harris, thoroughly deserved the title. Rode brilliantly all night and all season if it's relevent. David Howe, I don't really care whether it was at Monmore or not, to hear him speak about his racing and particularly after the final shows he is one changed rider. Confidence is so much higher and I could tell how he was riding. Looked chuffed to bits to be in Cardiff and for that reason I hope he does well, if only to maintain some of this confidence. Nicholls, unlucky Scott. I hope he gets some decent scores in the next few scores, because the excuse "he's the top Brit so has to be seeded" will no longer work. Steady was poor I reckon, rode well at times but ought to be scoring more than that. Similarly with Richardson, he is a better rider than that I think. Confidence must be shot to bits and I don't think he can get to the level he should be capable of. Danny King.. proved his worth and rode his heart out, fantastic, same applies with Olly Allen. Bridger, well how he spoke before the meeting I found great, sounds like a nice lad who is confident and wants to go far, but in his words "I'm going to go out and enjoy myself and not do anything stupid". He is one for the future of British speedway, no doubt. Louis, Havvy and Screeny aren't competitive at this level anymore, but was refreshing to see the new talent who will be stepping in over the next few years. Lawson and Wright weren't really competitive but not completely off the pace and another 2 I think might come in handy over the next few years for team GB. Tai was out of his depth in his first heat but his time will come no doubt. Based on that, if I was GB manager, I'd still choose Nicholls and Bomber, but I can't see why we'd choose Steady or Richardson. Come on down Howe, Ed, King, Allen etc, why not, we won't win the thing anyway, give the young lads an experience, they will win us titles in the future.

Onc Onc Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 he did have a Union Jack on his kevlars last night! it was in the corner of the Aussie flag on his arm <{POST_SNAPBACK}> who gives a toss, if he was born a pom, then he,s a pom . i have 2 nephews, born in Hertfordshire. ENGLAND, they moved to aussie land when they where approx 3yrs old, they are now 24yrs old, and still living in aussie land, but you ask them what nationality they are they will say bugger, we are pommie bastads, and proud of it, what the f*^k has a flag got to do with it, it says India on my car tyres but it dont mean i,m indian, does it, t*(ts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Well what a farce that was! 22 heats and 2 and a half hours just to tell us what we knew all along: Bomber is the current British Number 1 and David H00000we has been gift wrapped certain humiliation in 25 days time. Marvellous. As I stated a week or 2 back, the idea of having the best placed Brit (excluding Scott or Bomber) as the Wild Card is a good one, but surely not if any of the riders are tearing round their own circuit? Imagine the backlash if Kennett had prevailed around Wimborne Road, or heaven forbid, Rico around the Abbey? Enjoy your day in Cardiff, David. Next year you’ll be back in the bar with the rest of us. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Another idiot. Howe IS the 3rd best brit. Averages do NOT lie.

Philip Addison Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Um, because he rode – and raced – really well and deserved his second place? Because he won points both from the gate and from the back? Because he was genuinely pleased to see Chris Harris as winner and congratulated him warmly, despite his own ambitions? Because he has shown determination and is fulfilling his obvious ability this season? Because he is always very open when discussing his form even when, as last season, things got so bad that he contemplated retirement? And, finally, because it's gracious. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Really nice post Fourentee. Someone else said David Howe reads this forum sometimes and if you are reading this thread David this post is really meant directly to you personally. I remember seeing you ride after meetings at Peterborough as a youngster and your times were quite incredible, sometimes as fast as the senior race meeting times on a slickened off track. Everyone regarded you in much the same light as Tai Woffinden at the moment and so i watched your career develop with interest. Now i will be honest, after the controversy at Sheffield with Simon Stead in the Under 21 Final you wasn't my favourite rider and to put it mildly i had a negative opinion of you. I know that you have had your problems last season and stuck in there and turned them around, reading others opinions through sheer hard work and guts and determination. Some have had a go at you for having a home track advantage last night. Their problem. You rode absolutely brilliantly and deserved your place at Cardiff, and in my opinion it's even more deserved for the way you stuck at the sport and fought back. I was also impressed with your attitude in all your interviews last night. Whether i was wrong about you or whether you have matured is not as important as the fact you are now reaping the rewards and having success and it doesn't seem to be going to your head at all, long may that continue. Last night you turned a doubter into a fan. I'm sure i'm not the only one. I'm so pleased you didnt pack it all in and whatever you do at Cardiff i hope you have a superb day and i hope your career goes on from strength to strength now. Good luck David.
