OveFundinFan Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Of course he qualified, no problem with how he qualified at all, he out scored 13 other riders Just wonder why he has'nt added to this year and on that basis how he is going to add to next year. Judging on what he did last Saturday, its safe to presume he should be up with em this Saturday and maybe be even in the semis or more. I will take my hat off to him if he does.

Not riding for the Bees Friday and so should be fully prepared. If Bomber is to have a decent gp it would be at an indoor track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksback Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Sorry the guy is a wasted space. He will never be competitive at international level. Good luck to him for qualifying, But really his fellow competitors must love comming up against him in a heat because at least they know they will get a point. SGP should introduce a rule to prevent non performers from qualifying year after year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksback Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 As I've said on another thread you do realise he is 4th in the EL averages (bonus points included) this year? There are other speedway meetings that are not on tv you know! It's not much of a surprise to me he qualified, his form in the EL has been excellent. EL is not SGP (at which he continually under performs) don't you agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theknow 2 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Did he get to the Callenge on merit ? No, was next in line so handed another chance. yes got through and back in for 2015, lets hope he proves us wrong but lets see. BSI really pleased he is back in.

bill94d Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I believe every good thing that has been said about Bomber. He is a 100% trier, BUT.... The number of mechanical issues he has compared to (say) Greg is amazing. His bikes just don't seem to have the power the others in the GP do. Winning races from a bike length back at the first turn in a GP is almost impossible. Nice guy he may be but he devalues the GP. I don't pay to see 3 man races. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder how many times those breakdowns are genuine and how many times there an excuse because hes so far behind. He has at least one a GP that is either terrible preparation or giving up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill94d Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I rest my case after tonight. How can he justify a place instead of (perhaps) Kildemans, Ward, MJJ, Iversen? It makes no sense this GP challenge thing if it allows no hopers to have one good night on a British track and demean the GP in 2015. Tin hat time again? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Nice try Bomber.... only about dozen riders who can consistently perform better than you, and I'm not on about the occasional Cardiff, I'm on about riders who will score solid.

Agrotron Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yeah a big well done to Harris well deserved people may knock the guy but he is a trier and never gives up that is a quality I like about Chris. He is a Brit so I will always back him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 It amused me that one or two reckon Harris should have given his position up to Tai. 1) I dont think Tai would want that. 2) Why should he? He is in the meeting same as anyone else, if any rider cant be in front of him by merit why should he let them past 3) How would the same people feel if a rider from, say, Poland, let his countryman past that would win him the world championship. Probably the first to moan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a Brit so I will always back him. Elsewhere there was criticism of Chris Harris for finishing ahead of Tai Woffinden in one SGP heat. A comment that was not called for IMO. Why should he not do so - this is individual racing. Good work indeed by Harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 and his 4 points could be crucial to keep infront of MJJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReturn Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Are people really slagging off Harris for being in front of Tai? Perhaps Tai should have ridden better last night to be in front of Harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
