PHILIPRISING Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 No,but the point was,he said he could if he wanted to AND you believe that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Appleby Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Haven't heard from Mr Meridian in a long while but I'm sure he wouldn't try to influence wild cards. Aren't they supposed to be sponsors of the 2 minute clock this year...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 AND you believe that? I kind of do. For a meeting wild card definately, season wild card maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) WAS talking specifically about Meridian Lifts He was talking about the time when he was a meeting sponsor,rather than clock sponsor.And of course anything can be bought at the right price.It would be foolish to believe otherwise in this world He has gone all quiet now he is back doing a bit of sponsoring,but how long will that last and then he will be back blowing the lid off of even more BSI goings on Edited September 8, 2015 by iris123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I forgot to mention that HA was left without one for 2005... The year he would have won the lot, whatever it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I would be shocked if sponsors opinions were not sought. We know they pick wild cards based on nationality for commercial reasons so it makes sense to pick them based on what sponsors want, for commercial reasons. I've no issue with it tbh.

customhouseregular Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I need an English translation of the English translation . Oh well, certainly no Emil in the GP next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dump the SEC and the best pairs and suddenly he's barely riding any extra meetings by being in the GP series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I think the world in which Emil inhabits has somehow convinced him that the SEC means something and is as relevant as the GP. Regardless of which of them can ride a bike better, as things stand history will show that Tai Woffinden was a great rider and Emil Sayfutdiniv achieved nothing in World terms. If he says the GP is too much for him then he can never be seen as someone who might have won it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawkins20 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 FFS just deal with it. He doesnt want to ride there for whatever reason. He doesnt care about history books, if he never wins a GP he is still one of the greatest rider of his era if you cant see that you are blind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never won the World Championships, so he'll never go down as an all time great. Same with Emil. If he's good enough to be World champion then he needs to prove it. If Leigh Adams had never entered the World Championships people would probably have said the people like Rickardsson and Crump's achievements were undermined by that because Leigh would probably have won many titles. The reality is that he never. Who's to say it's not the same with Emil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never said he could win the gps or he is better rider than anyone else. BTW GPs didnt have the best 15 rider in the last 5 years, not even close. Enjoy his racing in Poland, Sweden and SEC.

No, he doesn't need to prove it. It seems you are a fan of his, does it really not frustrate you that he won't try to prove himself in World terms?
