TonyMac Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 IT won't be long before we will know the names of the 15 permanent Grand Prix riders for the 2010 campaign. But, if you had to CHOOSE the 15 best riders in the world to take part, who would they be? PHILIP RISING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenryW Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 IT won't be long before we will know the names of the 15 permanent Grand Prix riders for the 2010 campaign. But, if you had to CHOOSE the 15 best riders in the world to take part, who would they be? It's not easy to pick 15 for NEXT year, as there are some riders that I would certainly put in the top 15 just now, but I am not sure if they would still be there next season. Leigh Adams is a fine example of a man who has been on a dramatic slide this year. I'd say he was still inside the top 15, but if he continues his downward progression next year then he certainly will not be. Similarly other riders are moving upwards fast, and may well work their way into the top 15 next year. Just using form from this season, I would go for: Leigh Adams Hans Andersen Kennth Bjerre Jason Crump Tomasz Gollob Jarek Hampel Greg Hancock Chris Holder Rune Holta Andreas Jonsson Freddie Lindgren Adrian Miedzinski Nicki Pedersen Piotr Protasiewicz Emil Sajfutdinov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 JC Tomasz Gollob Greg Hancock Andreas Jonsson Emil Freddie Lindgren Chris Holder Jarek Hampel Matej Zagar NickiP Leigh Adams (top 15 in the world is different to the best 15 for the GP's) Chris Harris (my GP's get to have some dirt on the track) Hans Andersen Rune Holta Antonio Lindback Not much different from what we will have for 2010 I suspect....... no Magnus.....Ken Bjerre bites the bullet until he can stop creeping at the starts ......and shows he can make a pass........................ Brits only get one rider.............. Lindback and Zagar slide in...... Holta, Andersen, Adams and Harris take their seats in the last chance saloon and lol at Pepe Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyluck Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 ....then it gets tough - any 2 from Harris, Pepe, Lindback, Zagar, Iversen, You are having a laugh. Walasek is a better rider than Harris (above Harris in the GPs and made more finals than Harris - who hasn't made a single one - and better than Harris in the Swedish and Polish leagues; he also managed to qualify for the GPs when the Grand Final was staged on his home track), Lindback, Zagar and Iversen.

HenryW Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 and lol at Pepe Henry Ahhh...cummon, Mark put him in his 15, and salty had him listed as a possible. The boy has had a blinding season this year, and I honestly believe he has been one of the best 15 in the World in 2009. He was very unlucky at Coventry. Without his one big mistake he would be in and Zorro would be out....but that's what I love about PePe! When he goes out, he goes out in style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I think he has a bit of a problem with pressure. Always seems to crumble when it comes to the crunch. He had his 1 day in the GPs when he was wildcard in Bydgoszcz a few years back and made the final...Still managed to screw that up, though, and missed out on the rostrum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTDragons Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 My 15 would be: Crump, Gollob, Sayfutdinov, Hancock, Jonsson, Pedersen, Holta, Bjerre, Lindgren, Andersen, Hampel, Zetterstrom, Holder, Lindback, Zagar. If Holta does not take up his option of a GP place (as is being reported), Maciej Janowski to replace him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderman Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 IT won't be long before we will know the names of the 15 permanent Grand Prix riders for the 2010 campaign. But, if you had to CHOOSE the 15 best riders in the world to take part, who would they be? PHILIP RISING Right now after watching that rubbish tonight provided on a motorway, would it matter who the top 15 were, they aren't being allowed to show off their skills. Never thought after 40 yrs of watching speedway I would be saying couldn't give a toss if I never see another GP. SKY subscribtion is in danger of being binned for next yr, Depending upon track prep (Overall) possibly No Cardiff, a saving of over 1k alone just on those two. What has all the makings of a great sporting event is being spoilt by track prep. I feel sorry for you and your staff at Speeway Star who continually try to lift the sport only to be frustrated by the lack of racing tracks provided by the GP organisers. These events are supposed to show off our great sport, not make it look mickey mouse. Why in the context of your magazine do you not ask Olsen why he thinks it was for the betterment of the sport that he provioded slick tracks??

Snyper1010 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Lets hope with Tony Olson coming in we will get nice grippy tracks with various lines and watch these guys at their best. Then we can see Hans finally take his place at the top of the pile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
