MrMungo Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Riders in bold i think will progress, though i think Starke in the second one could nick a place It's only top 7 per semi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 It's only top 7 per semi. Great point Mr M. Maybe the Gavstar is including his wildcard selections too in his bold predictions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Harris, Auty, Stead, Garrity, Kennett, Robert Lambert and Howarth from Scunthorpe for me. Maybe Bates to cause an upset or Wilkinson if he has his bikes sorted and push Garrity or Howarth. Kerr unlikely on present form. Nicholls, King, Barker, R Worrall, Lawson, Cook and Bridger from Glasgow. Charles Wright or Steve Worrall to cause a shock up there if anyone.Hard to disagree with that though I'll go Steve rather than Richie in Glasgow. Certainly that meeting looks a tougher battle to qualify than scunthorpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulvik Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 A great line up but Think there could be a problem at Scunny with Mr Harris Isn't there a speedway GP in Warsaw on the next day. Don't the riders have to sign on the day before (Friday 13th May) for press and practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 A great line up but Think there could be a problem at Scunny with Mr Harris Isn't there a speedway GP in Warsaw on the next day. Don't the riders have to sign on the day before (Friday 13th May) for press and practice GP Practice isn't mandatory but if you have any real GP ambition you should really be there. With Harris, he's just cannon fodder in the GP's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 tbf, Harris is never going to make top 3 in the GPS, or even top 8 with this year's line up. His machinery is clearly the slowest of all riders. And that's fair enough, he gets to compete in the world's premiere speedway event, anything he does achieve is a bonus, he doesn't over invest in equipment and presumably it keeps his sponsors happy. And he gets kudos from the fans for skipping practice to represent the Bees, or take place in meeting slike this one ?(which reiterate that both he and Tai should have been seeded to the final). I can't understand why people (and not picking on your post here) criticise Harris for this - end of the day he is a top 40 in the world rider, so if he scores 4 or 5 points in each GP he's doing well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Precisely, I always think of Bomber as a modern-day Andy Smith. Every point scored is a bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 And like smudger (and before that Mort) the main issue is the utter inability to gate. Though having said that, bombera gating wasn't too bad in Slovenia, his issue seemed to be a lack of speed and ruthlessness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 That's the irritating thing, he beats Doyle and Zager, and then touches the tapes. He's got it in him, I just wish he was better. I'd much rather be cheering him on than Tai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Is Danny King gonna get as much of a smashing as Woffy for missing the British Semi Finals? No thought not. It's awfully nice of Rob Godfrey to say that King is likely to be given a Wildcard straight to the Final though. Was this ever offered to Woffy? No course not BSPA are a funny bunch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
