salty Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 I think if Cegielski were to be fit (big if) he would take the place of Bajerski who faded quite badly towards the end of the season. In fact I would favour Hampel to be picked before him in any case. Hope Mark gets chosen but I do have a nagging feeling that they may only pick one Brit...

Guest Bigs Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I don't think Loram will get a wild card. He hasn't really done much this year. A shame really as I like him but hey, that's the way it goes. I reckon Lukas Dryml should get a wild card. If it hadn't been for his crash(es) he would have been in the top 10. I can't remember if Scott Nicholls made it into top 10 but if he didn't he would be a good bet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forum seems to be full of intelligent posts like these nowadays :roll: The reason I put Matze Schultz into the equation was for the same reason Ferjan got in a few years back.

salty Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I might be wrong Tom, but i think Matej got in the Gp's originally on merit, by winning the Continental Final. Though after a reasonable first year he had to rely on a sympathetic seeding to see him in for a second year(which was very poor). Can see your logic behind picking Schultze, but it really would not be fair on the fella or one of the top riders who would have to miss out.

I never said it would have been fair on the other guys or that shultz should get one. Yes Matej won the continental final the first year but imo there were better riders to be seeded the year after (notably Joe Screen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Sure Tom, I'm not saying you're wrong that Ferjan was given a seeding in his 2nd year over riders who merited it more. I just thought I would point out that he originally got in on merit. Personally i don't agree that a rider should get in because his own country is staging a GP, the quality of riders should be more important than their money generating possibilities.

Trees Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 I think they'll go for young riders with lots to prove, loads of money behind them and those who don't complain about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 With Scott being the only Brit in the top 10 surely 1 if not 2 more Brits have to go back in the gp's! That will mean Lee and Mark! I would like to see Jarek Hampel given a chance,im sure he can do well in them Lukas Dryml will go back in i would think after the start he made in the championship he could well have been world champ! Then i think maybe Max and Hans Andersen will make the 6 riders to go back in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Surprised that Simon Stead is the reserve and not David Howe, but good luck Simon. It's down to the finishing order of the meeting at Poole, in which Stead replaced David Howe. Rico :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
