Concrete Cowboy Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 I'm with the "GB aren't going to win it so why not take the chance to give the youngsters the experience" brigade. Case in point was the British GP ... who got the wild card picks for that ? Stead and Howe did, then Harris got a late call up. BSI recognised that the youngsters are the future of speedway. The other attitude isn't wrong, but to me it's more of a reward for length of service to British speedway rather than anything to do with current ability. I really could not agree more !.

rabbit Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Yep well done Floppy, exceded all expectations and made me wonder how far this guy could have gone in his career before now if he'd constantly shown that commitment and determination :?: Not a criticism but I'm sure over the years we've all see the David Norris who turned up at our tracks now and then not really too bothered. This version last night was focussed and determined, fully justified his inclusion. Good on ya Middlo - good choice and same again on Thursday please Floppy!

shazzybird Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I never doubted the Brits for one minute, well done Middlo excellent choice of riders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Phew! Just checked back on the posts on here and no..I've not made any comment about the team chosen. Brilliant performance by the GB team, but let's not get too carried away because most races last night were just like match races with only Australia and Great Britain involved. I'm afraid barring a miracle Australia were always going to win with Adams and Crump covering the last couple of races. Good luck on Thursday lads and let's hope they can ride as well and get through to the final. By the way was that really a small track? No times were given so I couldn't judge, but it didn't seem that small to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebbs Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 This thread makes great reading after the event! Some like Steve S, Salty & Rabbit had it worked out whilst some just showed their prejudice against Floppy and/or Eastbourne. Well done Floppy, and the rest of the GB boys. To the rider who "can't ride anywhere more than 15 minutes from Eastbourne" it's a good job you took your Tardis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylmo Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 obviously they haven't seen him ride at Oxford, Belle Vue, Wolverhampton just to name a few, its the motorway track at Poole and the big Peterborough and Kings Lynn tracks he hates although I have seen him beat Sullivan at Pboro and Crump at Kings Lynn. I think its all down to finance but this year he has got a lot more sponsorship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightonbob Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Whatever happens tonight, Floppy has proved a point. He can do it, with the right back-up and the right bike. I'm writing this before tonights meeting and I'll say that anyone in a five racer meeting who gets near maximum points has an element of luck about them. Jokers, five riders, international adrenelin running through every single rider. Who knows? But saying that, Goooo orrrn the boooooyyyyys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Derwent Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Erm, forgive me if I'm wrong but didn't Norris only do as expected on Monday ? He only beat a few Slovenians, Italians and a well below par Todd Wiltshire !! I'm not knocking him but some of the pro-Norris brigade are making out like he rode like a world champion ! He did what you would have expected against that opposition - no more, no less. If he does the business tonight against better opposition I'll be the first to congratulate him, but lets not get carried away with his performance the other night considering the opposition.
