BUDGIE Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) I think that it would be harsh to eliminate Hampel as he has got 67pts from 8 GPs instead of 10, due to injury, do you not think he will get the nod ahead of the qualifier failures? Best hope for KK/FL might be if someone in the Top 6 decides its time to finish. Edited September 29, 2007 by BUDGIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Would do Hampel no harm at all to spend a season out of the GPs and kicking his heels every other Saturday - he's just been pottering around in the middle-order. A season out would give him the kind of incentive it gave to Andersen last season - a kick up the backside that seems well needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 But you are not seeing the 15 best riders in the world.Just 15 riders amongst the best in the world.If they were the best then how could Laguta,Lindgren and Bjerre for instance come in and make some of them look pretty poor?It is just a selection for monetary reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Meynell Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 If one of the top 8 quit, Lubos Tomiek gets a place as highest non-qualifier/first reserve. And some say the SGP line-up is better than ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 personally speaking if Bomber and Scotty get in the top 8,i Think the 4 nominated spots will be 2 Swedes,1 Brit and 1 Pole, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zagar qualified for 2007 by right, unlike a former British champion, and should be given a second chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 wild card predictions: Harris, Andreas J, Hampel and Zagar or Lindgren. I would pick: Harris, Lindgren, Hampel and Jonas D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
