2008 Gp Riders


Recommended Posts

If you could choose, who would your 15 riders be for 2008?

 

Mine would be

 

N. Pedersen

L.Adams

A.Jonsson

C.Harris

T.Gollob

 

J.Crump

H.Andersen

G.Hancock

S.Nicholls

R.Holta

 

N.K.Iversen

L.Dryml

B.Pedersen

 

J.Hampel

F.Lindgren.

 

The first 5 because they have each won at least one GP in 2007. I think to win a GP earns a place.

 

The next 5 because other than any of the above, they are the 5 highest point scorers thus far.

 

The next 3 because they finished as the top 3 in the recent GP challenge.

 

The remaining 2 to be invited in as permanent wild card places. JH because he missed 2 GP's through injury and if he had ridden and secured average points he would have been up there anyway. I have picked FL because Sweden only have one other rider and his performances this season warrant it.

 

I await your selections with interest.

1)Nicki Pedersen

2)Leigh Adams

3)Jason Crump

4)Tomasz Gollob

5)Hans Andersen - All obvious

 

6)Greg Hancock - After 12 consistent years deserves another crack.

7)Chris Harris - Needs to cut out the 5 points attitude though

8)Scott Nicholls - Hopefully finishes in the top 8 .Needs a better team around him

 

9)Niels K Iversen - Will do well to finish top 10

10)Lukas Dryml - Will come last in all but Prague I feel. A wasted place IMO

11)Bjarne Pedersen - Is definately one of best 16 in world, but doubt will trouble top 6

 

12)Rune Holta - Deserves to be there for his performances in 2nd half of season.

13)Andreas Jonsson - Been unlucky this year, if he stays injury free could be a serious contender.

 

14)Freddie Lindgren - Will no doubt get the nod. Probably deserves it but maybe being Swedish is deciding factor.

 

15)Emil Saifutdinov - An unbelievable talent, held his own in the world cup. & would expose Russia to the GP more..

NICKI PEDERSEN

LEIGH ADAMS

JASON CRUMP

TOMASZ GOLLOB

HANS ANDERSEN(if i really must)seriously i suppose he does add a bit of drama.

All these above go without saying

CHRIS HARRIS

GREG HANCOCK(unsure about whether he'll carry on)

ANDREAS JONSSON

SCOTT NICHOLLS

BJARNE PEDERSEN

RUNE HOLTA

NEILS KRISTIAN IVERSEN(needs alot of improvement)

as does LUKAS DRYML

JAREK HAMPEL/KK :unsure:

FREDDIE LINDGREN(deserves a shot after his wild card showings)

 

Schumi,if Damian got in,which i'm sure he will at some time i would suggest that anyone going to Cardiff avoids the Lower Tier :D:P

Peter Karlsson

Ryan Sullivan

 

Maybe one or two surprises there, but Ryan Sullivan is 5th in both the Swedish and Polish league averages, and although Freddie Lindgren has done okay when he's been a wildcard, they've been in his home country. If it was the 2009 series, I'd pick him though.

Congratulations SEdgY2. You were the only one to get all 15. Colincooke came next with 14 correct and a choice between JH and KK, so 14.5 marks to you. A lot of us thought JH would get another chance but it was not to be. Thank you to all those who joined in the fun.

The thread was "if you could choose", not "who will IMG choose", so everybody got full mark :P
