emerald tyke Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Always great news when a rider returns from an injury.....he did say on twitter that he felt good on the bike so roll on Malilla. I think Jasons shoulder is ok too after the crash in Cardiff but he's having a rest till next gp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Excellent. Amazing to think Hampel has essentially missed 5 rounds (he didn't complete a race in Copenhagen), yet still he's only 6 points behind Harris and ahead of Ljung and Bjarne Pedersen who have competed in every one of those rounds. If that's not reason enough to ignore those riders when it comes to Wild Cards next season, then I don't know what is. Regardless of his form for the rest of the season, surely Hampel will be a certain starter for 2013? JT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I noticed his Tweets too. Sounds as though he's a dead cert to be back for the next GP and no re-break for Jason so he should be there too. Good news all round. I'd have thought Hampel is nailed on for a permanent wild card pick next season. It'll be interesting to see who else gets one because there are quite a few that have impressed when they're ridden a GP. Unless any of them put together a stunning end to the season and qualify by right then it certainly should not be Andersen, Harris, Pedersen, Ljung (although he's done better than expected at times to be fair) or Bjerre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 So if Hampel is back, that means that Vaculik then will still be in as a replacement for Bjerre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
