Pinny Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Team GB should be Harris, Nicholls, Richardson, Woffiden and Stead. They have been the best five Brits this season without a doubt. People mentioning King, Kennett and Bridger are extremely silly people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyHart Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I wouldn't want any of Stead/King/Barker as the 5th rider. Richardson, Nicholls, Woffinden and Harris seem shoo-ins, but of the rest nothing stands out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazza Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I personally would like Nicholls Harris Richardson D.King Stead Top 5 Brits in the averages so they must have done something right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 The three big guns should be a given. Woiffinden should ride as he is rubbing shoulders with the big boys at the GP's every fortnight. Stead averaging more than the other candidates so has to ride IMO.

noggin Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 On current form Team GB's team is a no brainer. Nicholls/Harris/Stead/Richardson/Woffinden King reserve Agreed and anyone suggesting Barker must be mad, riding garbage at the moment with a terrible attitude.

Sandie Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Agreed and anyone suggesting Barker must be mad, riding garbage at the moment with a terrible attitude. Anyone know when the team is due to be announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight_Lady Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Some of the "bigger" names have suggested they won't be riding should the new silencers have to be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARK246 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Some of the "bigger" names have suggested they won't be riding should the new silencers have to be used. The latest news on the silencers from Germany is on www.speedway.org. Four riders were testing them against the old 2008 2009 models. The results showed that the new silencers improved the performance of the bikes. It is looking more like riders are just using the silencers as an excuse not to compete. The worrying trend is riders don't want to compete in FIM meetings because of the payments, as the British attitude to the U21 WC showed.

The WTC shouldn't at the end of the day be about money. These events should be about pride of wearing your national badge. Just like football (team England my ass) they're showing it's all about themselve and not their country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
