2016 Swc Semi's And Final 29/30/july 2016


Recommended Posts

Why is the race-off on Friday this year?

Seems a bit unfair for the winner to have to race on consecutive nights.

2 main reasons

1 to make the attendance bigger for the race-off(normally disappointing)

2 so that fans can make it a weekend away with 1 nights hotel.

teams were only sitting around on the Friday so I`m sure they are happier racing !!

DK have done it before when one of the semi finals where held at Pboro.

King would never get a 3rd in a GP. That was my point. I think the UK Championship was a one off top class performance from a middle tier rider.

Neither would Cook though as we saw when he was in a GP last year. I'm not convinced that at the moment Lambert or Nicholls would either

So Harris comes 3rd in a GP & all of a sudden he's a Worldy and nobody else is good enough for GB :lol:

 

Let's see how he gets on at Cardiff first plus other league fixtures before you get carried away

Perhaps but GP is different thing. King evidently have performed in a SWC event before even if it only was a semi final many years and not a race off/final.

Harris has scored double figures in a lot of league meetings this season as a heatleader and has the highest EL average of any Brit mentioned.

As an Ipswich fan i can see the bigger picture and i said at the time that the British Final win shouldnt guarantee Kings place, same as the bad performance from Harris shouldnt discount him, and the gp shouldnt automatically put him back in.

 

I can still see a situation where the 4 riders are Tai, Cook , Harris and Nicholls with Lambert at reserve. Harris is performing consistently in the league and might be coming into form and Nicholls i would always have ahead of King

 

I think Tai and Cook are certaintys and then now its any 2 from 4. Harris, Lambert, Nicholls and King

For me Tai and Lambert are the certainties the rest we shall see Cook,Nicholls,Harris, Bates.
