British Final

[Blazeaway]

Indeed, excellent racing. Sadly another fab TV meeting ruined by the atrocious unprofessional commentators.

 

 

Tatum at his worst tonight, actually outdone the screaming imbecile.

Well done Eddie

 

Richardson the gating tart comes last shocker

[Blazeaway]

Well done Chris, great to see Tai on the rostrum. Typical Rico bottle job.

You have to laugh, Tony Millard isn't even working and he is taking a pounding

Well done Bomber - making the gate, well I never...........

 

[Grachan]

Excellent meeting. Really enjoyed it. Great win for Bomber -amd good to see how much it meant to him.

 

Very surprised to see Rico fail in the end. He looked so good early on.

 

Great coverage from Sky as usual. People who complain about it should dig out some of the dodgy old Screensport footage and count themselves lucky.

Comments:

 

Line Up confirmed.

 

Showing Harris win at Cardiff '07. Nigel Pearson and Kelvin Tatum on commentary duties. Weather looks glorious. Looks to be a decent crowd too. Charlie the Plank interviewing Scott Nicholls...who says he misses riding in Britain. Understatement of the year there from Mr Nicholls.

Well done Ed.

Fully deserved & great racing.

IMO still missed at Arlington.

[Blazeaway]

Goes to show that nice guys do sometimes win.

[MattK]

Well, I have to say that was an excellent meeting and all credit to Harris for winning the final.

 

I do feel a bit sorry for Richardson, as he looked good all evening.

 

Brilliant meeting though.

[Jacques]

Thanks youngy...love the flag...

 

I'm a surprised, but very happy bunny... Go the Bees

 

 

See you in cardiff Ed....

 

 

[Shadders]

Some decent racing ..... Shame for Richardson who deserved better after his early races ..... Congrats to Bomber and especially to Ed ..... Good to see ex Rockets performing well tonight ..... Best of luck to Ed in Cardiff

[TheBoroBoy]

comparing sizes more than likely....always wondered as thought something was fishy with her

 

yeah she needs to keep her legs closed

 

[mc131]

good meeting tnite young brits looked gd all night felt sorry for bridger just missing out on semi.

[John Hannibal Thomas]

I think this meeting had almost as much rolling in the 20 heats as you see the opposition do at Newcastle in 15 heats!

 

The referee should hang his head in shame for simply not watching the starts!

[gatekeeper522]

well done...bomber eddie and tai...good meeting...the passing put gps to shame i think

[seanisnumber1]

Well done to Bomber on winning the British title again and to Kennett for getting to Cardiff again!! Bit gutted its not Woffy as I would have loved to see him ride in the GP but with the form Kennett is in at the moment he could put in a good performance!!

Nicholls was woeful apart from the one ride against Richardson, if he does not buck his ideas up this season he will not be back in GPs next year!!

[ciderman]

Great British Final. Shame it's 350 miles away on a Wed night!! Thank you Sky. Well done Bomber,still one of the best racers IMO. All the emerging young Brit's looked good and the future is looking brighter. Hope this time next year we have another Lawson in the final. For all you elite leaguers take a look at the early performances of Richard Lawson, quick gater, trains hard most mornings,focussed, quick learner. We have some good young talent. Come on the Brit's

[UnitedUnitedUnited]

does anyone see the point in having tai and rico as the reserves, why have top riders as reserves, they dont get used, why not have youngsters who would only be there as fans really a chance, as im taking that tai and lee will be reserves now?
