bazaar3 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I think the track may play a big part. Harris, Rico, Bridger and Kennett have all looked really good around the track this year and to a lesser extent have Tai and Joe. Simon Stead could be want to watch and I wouldn't write off Scotty, so this is going to be one of the most wide open BC for many a year.

Dekker Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Interesting line up towards the bottom with some riders who are not doing that well at all this seaosn riding. We have Jordan Frampton averaging the same in the EL as Lawson is in the PL for a start! Schramm is also having a storming season and seems to have been over looked. I can only assume Dave Norris doesn't want to be there either. Where are Bunyan and Tully too? 1) It's a crap line up, shows how far GB has sunk at producing talent. Not one world class talent or prospective talent amongst them. 2) As usual Oakes playing favourites no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Anyone know if there is a scorecard to print of anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Not one world class talent or prospective talent amongst them With respect you do talk out of your bum. Bridger, Woffinden and Haines written off by you before they have reached their twentieth birthdays? That's your best one yet.

He's not involved with Britain My thoughts anyway, I am backing Eddie for this one. He's bang on form and goes well at WR, and coupled with the fact that none of the other contenders have had good starts to the season, I think it's Eddie's to win.

Wuffy blew up big style in last years U21 final. The Russki has won 2 U21 titles and a GP already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Russki has won 2 U21 titles and a GP already Indeed he has, but to compare any under 21 rider in the world to Emil is pointless at the moment...the kid is a one off. As with most Brits Woffinden (in his first final) and Bridger proved themselves to be naive on the continent in last year's final, but to say they are not prospective world class riders is a premature statement to say the least. As for the rest of the names in the line up, I couldn't agree more with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Personally i think its a very interesting and open final...for once im gonna have to stay up late to watch the rerun at midnite...may be appealing but still put preference to The Apprentice!

How dare you use lanuage like that boy? go wash your mouth out with soap and water now!!! (daring to even suggest he might win it..........)

Steve Shovlar Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) This one looks to be the best British Final in years. Previously you didn't need to look past Nicholls or Harris, but this year, well there's 5 guys in with a shout. Nicholls, Harris, Richardson, Bridger, Kennett are all capable of winning, with spoilers Screen, Stead and Woffinden all capable of taking points of any other rider, though perhaps not consistent enough to win it outright. Weather at the moment is saying showers on Wednesday, which will hopefully not materialise. Should be a cracking couple of days speedway at Poole on Wednesday and then of course Thursday, with the free admission meeting.

Cornishman Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Im going for a Harris, Rico, Bridger and Tai final. Hoping that either Bridger or Tai will follow bomber over the line in 2nd and make an appearance at Cardiff. Either of them would fully deserve their place, and probably score decent points there too. Nothing against Lee but i'm hoping he wont get the wildcard this year as it would be nice to see some 'new blood' getting a chance. Oh, and our very own scott nicholls to score about 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 It'll be rained off.. my last 2 holidays to Dorset with planned visits to Wimborne Road have resulted in rain all day and meetings being called off. I had planned to pop along to this one too. Please accept my apologies if you travel a great distance for it to be called off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willp Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I hope either Bridger or Woffinden get the wild card for Cardiff as i would like to see how they perform in a Grand Prix as the likes of Richardson and Kennett have already ridden at Cardiff before either as a permanent GP rider or as a wild card. My prediction for this meeting is: 1. Harris 2. Bridger 3. Richardson 4. Nicholls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyy Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Any clever type out there who could generate a race card for those of us stuck in doors due to health etc. filling it in takes the mind off the dynamic due's ramblings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
