dj350z Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Anyone know how much the riders get paid for competing in the qualifiers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 My point entirely; thank you lupus. As I posted on the relevant thread, it was a shame that he dropped out as we were all looking forward to seeing him ride. I hope he's back on form soon. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Seb the Snail. You really don't get it do you. HOWE IS THE THIRD HIGHEST AVERAGING BRIT. That is an average earned on ALL the tracks. Therefore his wildcard position is ENTIRELY justified as he is the best rider on form to take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I can't believe I forgot to post here. Congrats to Chris on his first win. Clearly the rider of the night, and fully deserved on this seasons performances. Congrats to David on his rostrum place and upcoming trip to Cardiff. Again fully deserved. No problem with Scott being very unhappy. He went there to win it, and failed. It's nice to see that the meeting really meant something to him. Far from just a test session, he really wanted badly. Any other rider would've been happy to get on the rostrum. Scott saw it as failure. It's nice to see that he has that drive to be the best he can be. If he can get these engines working then the rest of the GP boys can watch out. There's a lot of frustration building. Congrats to Ed on a very good performance. Clearly the best he's ever ridden at Monmore, and what a time to do it. Very much worth his place on the final, and a creditable ride despite being edged out by the top 3. Other noteable performances by Danny (again the best he's ever gone around Monmore), Olly (unlucky in the first turn a couple of times and also a race stopped while he was leading), and Lewis (could have made the race off but for the fall). Chris could've crept in as well if not for the engine/chain failure. The biggest disappointment was Steady. IMO (and it won't be popular in some quarters) he desperately needs to get away from BV, and get back to the old Steady before his career nose dives.

Silver Bee Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Stead's been put in a massive position by Belle Vue. If he stays there he risks completely losing it like he's started to this year by the pressure put on him by being at number 1 and the lack of racing at Kirky Lane. If he leaves he risks leaving Belle Vue with massive problems as there number 1 rider. Loyalty is all well and good but it depends what Simon wants from his speedway career.

Silver Bee Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Well it depends what he cares about more. Money or his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
