It's neater this way: 3 from GB, 3 from Australia, 3 from Sweden, 3 from Poland.

 

Hmmm.... and there was me thinking it was done on merit ;-) :?

 

I see what you mean though Norbold-hadn't noticed that! :)

Very important, these selections.

And I know Nicki Pedersen agrees !

 

Mark Loram, Great Britain (Good for us Brits, not sure the rest of Europe would agree)

Lukas Dryml, Czech Republic (Obvious)

Mikael Max, Sweden (Mikael Karlsson - yes, Max - no :P )

Lee Richardson, Great Britain (No thanks, then he'd find out just how it feels to get shat on)

Hans Andersen, Denmark (Don't like him, don't rate him)

Jarek Hampel, Poland (Fair choice)

Does he (Nicki) mind that Janniro is reserve, Steve?

 

Drmyl is a definite wild card-top 5 for 2004 IMO.

Mark Loram-not sure if he will be as good as he was 2-3 years ago-hope I'm wrong.

Hampel-Obviously winning U-21 in 2003 shows how much confidence affects his form.

Lee Richardson-Questionable temperament under pressure and of course there is NO PRESSURE in the GP's is there?

Mikael Max-Crossroads for him, will he make a come back or get worse?

Hans Andersen-No Hoper.

 

BTW-Steve T like your signature. Does Nicki approve of this one as well?

I don't understand what Hans has done wrong in this season. I think he has been riding fair and square.

From my point of view he has shown a lot in the last half of the GP series.

Is it a personal disliking of Hans or . . . . . ?

 

I think some of you should behave a bit. Hans is a nice bloke.

Jonesy -

What I meant by the Nicki comment, was that he himself was selected last year. Making it very important, to him. :)

Actually, he finds it hilarious that he's (probably) the first man to become World Champion without actually qualifying for it ! :D

 

And Lioness -

I remember talking to Phil at Sheffield last year, saying I wanted Rory and Complin to double up with Bees, for the season just finished. And now I think it would be a huge mistake if Rory doubles with Belle Vue.

Hans has plenty of fans in this country, garf. And I'm sure he doesn't care that I don't like him. :P

Nor me, although I did like his great, great, great grandfather Hans Christian Andersen. :D

Steve...It is quite spooky how much you and I think alike. I feel the same about Richardson as well. Do you want to compare notes? :P

I thought H.C.A. was celibate :shock:

Chuffed to see Loramski there. :D

 

Since the GPs started, he truly has been one the most successful and exciting riders in the series. I don't think he's capable of winning the series anymore, but a fully-fit Loram is capable of pinching a rostrum place or two.
