AndyM Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Harris can't gate so stands no chance. He has had some good GPs but isn't consistent enough. So for that matter has Nicholls. Totally out of his depth. Nicholls made a howler dropping EL speedway. If he says he isn't missing it we should rename him Pinochio. I agree, though it begs two questions: why does that apparently work for other riders, and how would returning to EL actually help Nicholls improve his game? Is he not getting enough decent competition, because there aren't be too many top level riders here to sharpen his game if he did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathanB Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Wouldn't want Nicholls back now in this country. If he is happy to say he doesn't need this country, then we certainly don't need him, an absolute embarrassment in the gp tonight. I'm sure people will still defend him and Scott is entitled to ride where he likes but what is that saying about not biting the hand that feeds you. For me personally he has let the country down not riding here, after all it is his home country. His comment before the first gp about not having enough meetings going into the series still makes me chuckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTLAND1314 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Nicholls and Harris are, sort of, the speedway equivalent to Ricky Hatton, good at a certain level but the second they mix it with the big boys they come up very very short. I'm certain they don't try to be as bad as they are appearing but they just can't cope at SGP level. Simples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Is this a quiz? Nope, but what it indicates to me is that EL offers 31.25% of the level of competition you would hope to achieve if you hope to compete with the current best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebears469 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Quite Frankly, That was verging on the border of embarrasing From the British '' number 1''. At least Harris, shows some effort, Just ashame he can't gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
