RobMcCaffery Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 In my limited experience of speedway politics it's a case less of 'conspiracy', and more like 'cock-up'. Things happen sometimes not due to some sinister plan, but.....just happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Le Carre said that in his years as a behind the scenes spymaster, whenever anything went drastically amiss and the inquest started, it was ALWAYS the cock-up over the conspiracy.

SPEEDY69 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Harris is in the GP's & that's it. Get behind the guy & support him, or just do what a load of other people do & support the foreign rider who happens to ride for your club - which I find pretty sad. (obviously not if you're non-British) Good luck to Chris & Tai in the SGP 2014 You're missing the point here. It's not all about Brits vs foreigners because there was at least one other British rider who was not asked to race at the challenge, and they were ahead of Harris in the qualifiers. Blatant favouritism. As I've said before, it's not his fault but not only have the FIM appeared to make a huge b**ls up, so have the BSPA.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Still can't get my head round why a wild card selected by the organisers who has declined to enter the competition cannot be replaced by another wild card of the organisers choice rather than being forced to use a rider who finished 5th in the Grand Prix challenge ! not withstanding that rider having already being eliminated in an earlier qualifying round.The way I understand it is that Gollb did nit decline his wildcard and so was named in the official competitors listing.Once this happened the wildcard pick is over and ANY withdrawal follows the next on the list policy which is Harris. Had Gollob declined the wildcard he would never have been announced as one and a new pick would have taken place before anyone even knew about it.
