Bobbin' Along Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I think he will be cannon fodder but he deserves his chance. Bomber and Scotty have had umpteen opportunities and have losued them all up....Richardson for a Wild Card if the organisers want a Brit in the series. I'd love to see either Richardson. Woffinden or Kennett as a Wild Card next year. IMHO neither Bomber nor Nicholls deserve a place. Nicholls has been seeded in for long enough and I don't recall that he has ever made it into the top 8 proper at the end of the season. Granted, when Richardson was in the GPs last time, he was pretty poor but his form this year has been outstanding - I think he'd be worth a try. He damn sure can't be any worse. Congratulations to Noddy, Zorro and Hampel. I think Zorro may have flashes of brilliance next year, but I don't think he'll set the world alight. Now Noddy - he's a different matter....

Grachan Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 If he gets a WC it will be a complete farce. GB don't have a rider capable of competing apart from Rico. No it won't. His points in this meeting would make his nomination legitimate if he gets it. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) CONGRATULATIONS Chris Holder. So hands up all those who were spouting off that Pavlic is/will be a better rider than Chris............ There's your answer tonight, not a chance in a million years!!!!. I find that unbelieveable that Magnus is in the GP's, still everybodys there to be beat, fair play to him.

The points from the also rans in this meeting have never been used to select wildcards before, whats special about Harris Edited September 18, 2009 by MARK246 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman2006 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Someone spike your Lucozade there tonight Mike? Not at all Rabs, just got back from Weymouth, just find it hard to believe that Magnus has qualified for the GP's, on the face of it there were far better riders in the field, but as i said, fair play to the man.

Grachan Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 The points from the also rans in this meeting have never been used to select wildcards, before whats special about Harris Nothing. But a Brit will get in, and his points here mean there can't be any argument against it as far as I'm concerned. Was all for Rico getting the British Wils Card, but if Harris does get it now there can't be any real argument against it. And at least he was in the meeting - which is more than Richardson and Zagar managed. And I'm much more a fan of Rico and Matej than I am Harris for obvious reasons.

BritPete Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 An amazing outcome! JD who has done so well at Coventry before, and Pavlic....the big white hope....both fall like autumn leaves.....as one of the outsiders of the field twice beats Holder to gain the overall victory. You couldn't make it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max the rebel Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yes it is. If either of those two got a wild card there could be no argument against it either. Lindgren will be in top 8 anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlipphlopp Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well done to the qualifiers.Holder is class, and deserves to be in the GP's.A lot will knock MZ , but as proven again tonight , can beat anyone when in the mood.Bought his ticket , and won a prize .

Grachan Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Lindgren will be in top 8 anyway He probably will, yes. So Harris and Pepe would be the top two outside the qualifiers and be genuine cases for a Wild Card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yes I agree, but you did not mention the above two in your 1st post Had no reason too. I had originally made a post saying Rico should get the Wild Card for Britain, but seeing the score Harris got in this meeting I accepted that there could be no argument if he got it.

Well I agree with you on Rico. His form from what I have seen in the Polish league this year has been very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakdalepirate Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well done Zorro and well done Holder! Hopefully an extra swede in Zorro doesn't mean the end of a Lindback wildcard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Lindgren will be in top 8 anyway Wouldn't be so sure , he is only 5 points ahead of Holta in 9th place. I would hope that whoever doesn't qualify out of Lindgren, Nicki, Holta and Andersen would be offered nominations anyway, which leaves 2. Lindbacks claims might be weaker with 3 other Swedes now in and it is to be hoped the Brits don't get another 2 picks-surely they only should get one! As things stand at the moment I would give nominations to Holta, Andersen, Lindback and Zagar, but I am sure a Brit will swipe one of those spots.

noggin Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well done Zorro and well done Holder! Hopefully an extra swede in Zorro doesn't mean the end of a Lindback wildcard I think it will,unlikely to want 4 swedes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
