Sorry if this was started anytime ago, but cant see anything on the 2009 ELRC.

Any news on this, have I missed it somewhere?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thankyou Neil, much appreciated.

 

What with everything else, I thought I had missed this.

Good to know I haven't gone completely crackers....yet.. :lol:

 

Hopefully Wembley Lion, but this is the BSPA we're talking about.

Probably won't know the lineup until the day.

Assuming they all turn up it'll be a cracker. But my guess is that 5 will suddenly pull out without good reason. Some tend to find a mystery aggrevated injury or illness sometime around the ELRC.

 

I see PK is already missing from the line up...

overpaid losers imo.not very elite , just taking the money and running. only a few real superstars and the rest are tat..

pl any day.

So the EL is "a few real superstars and the rest are tat" making the PL less than "tat" yet you wnat to watch that :lol:

As is Tai which is a huge disapointment, he'd be one of the top 4 IMO, his recent form at Brandon has been phenominal. Only races he has not won in the last few months have been races he's not finished.

I guess it's not surprising Tai is not there though given the U21 final the following day in Gorican.

I would be hoping that Leigh and Matej pick up a nasty bug for the 24 hours around this meeting what with it being just a few days before the start of the play-off final (assuming Swindon get there).

 

I know there is the argument about not wrapping riders in cotton wool but in this instance the argument about not taking unnecessary risks outweighs it.

Cant argue with that adder

 

One question I like to ask is how does Jason Crump qualify he can only have done a handful of meetings this year

I fully understand your point of view Adder. However it is the Elite League Riders Championship and all the riders named should be at the meeting.

 

Or given the examples of the previous few years meetings just re name it The Whoever Can Be Bothered to Ride Championship.
