Dave_minall Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I agree, Tai is a much more polished rider than Bomber as of late, but I still think he would struggle in the GPs should he get through next year. I'd LOVE to be proved wrong though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabbsjoe Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Klaus Lausch is the chap and he`s probly been doing longtrack/grasstrack and i`m not 100% sure on this but i thought it was mentioned earlier in the season that Harris had a motor from johnsy. that was him, i didn't know about him having a John's engine though.

I agree. It hurts to think this way but sadly I think it's right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I agree. It hurts to think this way but sadly I think it's right And with no short term fix on the horizon it might get worse before it gets better,Morris & Vatcher are on the right lines hopefully with the younger riders,but the fruits of their labour could be years away yet.

pandorum Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Bomber has slipped to a 7+ rider and favourite for the GP Wooden Spoon ..... Yes Tai is that much better depends..... if a rider has 3 GPs as a wild card then I would say he may struggle to get that. And I like the guy.

New Science Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 indeed we did sponsor hans for 10 or more years. he has no respect for anyone i learned and generally is an ass,the final straw was filling his petrol car up weekly on the diesel fuel card he was issued for vans. dishonest i would say as he hoped it would not be picked up, but 3 years down the line still waiting for the money back and have now had to take him to court for it. pretty good for a guy who has had so much from us. thats why i think it is funny when he rides badly and i hope it continues to. no probs with chris, just think it is funny he still has same probs as last year. lots a people would help him but he choses the wrong ones time and again. you can lead a horse to water but !!!! he will be out the gp next year and can only blame himself. Interesting to see that there was no meeting sponsor for this years Swedish GP,I think BSI are missing you more than you're missing them.

I'm very sorry to say that having followed Chris's career since his Trelawney days I've grown tired of the cheery optimism. Poor gating and passing on the outside won't work against the world's top riders. If Rosco can't sort it this term I think it's time to forget the fact that there's no one else to represent the Brits. I would rather see someone like Darcy Ward put the cat amongst the pigeons than see Chris struggle again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Know Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Interesting to see that there was no meeting sponsor for this years Swedish GP,I think BSI are missing you more than you're missing them. the gp in sweden never seems to attract a sponsor anymore, since tony retired sweden dont seem interested in speedway anymore.

Perhaps BSI/IMG don't need one to make a profit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f-s-p Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Perhaps BSI/IMG don't need one to make a profit? There was a report inthe Swedish press that the Ullevi stadium made losses over the GP. So good for BSI, they've played it right and someone else pays. There attendance at Göteborg has been pathetic since the GP that never was. People just have not returned (I havent) and on top of that there's no league speedway at the moment in Göteborg so people have sort of fell of the wagon...

Isn`t the Gothenburg GP promoted by BSI/IMG in partnership with the stadium,which they also do with Copenhagen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
