Bomo1 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Well, 14 out of 15 is not too bad!!!! Will make a change not to see a Brit but to have 2 more Aussies!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunty Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Really looking forward to next year, there is a lot more young talant and no hangers on like Harris Ljung and Pedersen who couldnt get a race win if only those three were racing! Darcy Ward will be great to watch, Tai will give it a good go but overall will struggle but expect him to do better than Bomber. Vaculik was impressive when he joined the party and its only right he gets a whole season in the GP. Hampel well he was unlucky but will always be up near the top! Well, 14 out of 15 is not too bad!!!! Will make a change not to see a Brit but to have 2 more Aussies!!!! Here we go again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer sam Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Very Very Strong! With one exception. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTC38L Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Very strong field. I think tai will hold his own. He's been there before and knows what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenspoon Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yet another year when a no hoper Brit (or should it be Ausie) gets a free pass into the GPs. We don,t at this time deserve a representative, No wonder they don,t try or succeed in the qualifying competitions. It might have shook them up a bit, not to be in the GPs. He won,t get my support, and I think a lot of fans will feel the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I am not a Tai fan, but I do think some of the criticism he is getting is unfair. I don't think he is as bad as people make out and I do think he will win the odd race in the GP series, but I can't see him making the top eight. What really concerns me and makes me angry is the fact he was selected on commercial reasons, rather than genuine sporting reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadmau5 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Tai has a better average than MJJ in the UK... MJJ also scored 0 in the GP challenge. Lets level the argument a bit here folks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazeaway Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Tai has a better average than MJJ in the UK... MJJ also scored 0 in the GP challenge. Lets level the argument a bit here folks. MJJ also won a GP. Woffy Woffy Woffy is a million miles away from that. Although I've heard he's switching to PJR for his engines next season...

deadmau5 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Tai said he'd only go in to the series with good sponsorship. I expect him to be a Monster rider next year. As for MJJ wining a GP, yes he did, but Bomber won once too... MJJ has age on his side and if having Tai in can help other British riders in the future then let the lad have a go.

topaz325 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 No real surprises for the wildcards, ill be giving my support to Tai next year at Cardiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I will be giving my full backing to Tai next season even if he was given the place for commercial reasons. Probably wont make the top 8 but he will not be outclassed helped by incoming sponsorship. Good look Tai! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 The people saying Tai has got no chance of winning a gp this year were probably saying the same about Chris Harris at the start of the 2007 season. Any decent rider can win a round with a bit of luck. Vaculik won when it rained just before the final, otherwise Gollob would've won. Jensen just squeezed into the semis on countback, so hardly dominated. Scott Nicholls was only half a wheel away from winning in Australia, so who's to say Tai can't score 7 or 8, make the semis, couple of good starts and Bobs yer uncle! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many Gp's have Tai and Bomber done? How many GPs have MJJ done? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Wonder what anthem he will request should he win a GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Panda Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Vaculik deserved his place.................so did Hampel and Ward..............not so sure Woffinden can hold his own in there yet............. RP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjm Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I could see Woffinden doing pretty well in the GPs, it wasn’t the time for him when he was last in for a number of reasons, he is a very decent rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Think it is a mistake to put Tai in.Only time will tell and my post is here to shove down my throat if i am wrong He only got the wildcard for one reason and that is nationality.Let's see if he is proud to be a Brit.......
