waiheke1 Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Chris Harris is like a tumour on an otherwise healthy body of speedway. F*ck off you troll anyone know how the Cardiff GP wildcard will be chosen this year? will it be British Champion again, or will Chris Harris get a shout as he's not in the series? Assume British champion. Hopefully it will be lambert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Needs to be the winner of the British Final. Gives the event real meaning. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Needs to be the winner of the British Final. Gives the event real meaning. The real meaning is to be a proud British Champion ffs .... the GP wildcard is a bonus imo. If the fans don't think being British Champion is something to be proud of then how can we expect the riders to feel pride? In any other sport to be the Champion of Great Britain is an honour, a privilege and a great achievement!!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 But the British champion could be Rory Schlein. I'm guessing the only reason he's riding is to potentially get a wildcard for Cardiff as he's allegedly not interested in riding for team GB in the World cup.

If that were the case, he would either have to ride as British or forego his place, like Jason Bunyan used to ride as a Kiwi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it work with Schlein and Aussies, I read from somewhere that he has a UK citizenship. Does he have a UK passport? Because you need a passport for the nation you want to represent. So is it that he cant ride for GB or dont want to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f-s-p Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Yes he does have a UK passport.So with a ACU license for national events (which I think he has) and a FIM license from acu as well (which he had for his euro encounter) he's available for team gb. No probs then... it's up to him and Rossiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be told before the final that winning it doesn't mean he wins the wildcard. That will go to a Brit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without that he said it wouldnt feel right and he wouldnt want to be in position. I think its fair to say the general reaction of fans has been mixed at best.

I'm not aloud but nor would I won't to race for team GB Schlein's tweet on 25/4/17 If he's rode as an Aussie for +10 years then why should we support him as a Brit when he doesn't even want to represent us.

Â Perhaps it should be like football where players who have represented their country/football federation on a senior level (A level games) are not allowed to represent another country.during their career. source, (5 and 8 Principle p63-p65).
