Woz01 Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'm hearing reports that Greg has injured his shoulder at the practice. Accident involved a medic apparently, but reports are a bit sketchy According to a post he did then have another practice later on so seems whatever it was wont stop him riding today.

hagonshocker Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 He did certainly pull up after a couple of laps in practice , made a signal to Tai behind and pulled over on to the Centre green and asked for assistance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReturn Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Out of interest, if Hancock misses the top 8 this season.... surely they would not give him a wildcard at his age? I appreciate he is a World Champion, but he can't really add anything to the series beyond this year? Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree completely with you but I think there are many that would want him to get a wild card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate he is a World Champion, but he can't really add anything to the series beyond this year? Thoughts? Should Hancock be keen to race in SGP next year, and he misses a top eight place this year, I suspect his wild card pick would be automatic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) I suspect his wild card pick would be automatic. I fear you could be right, but why? How could they justify it? a) It's at the end of his career. The truth is, he is old and he would not ride through pain like Doyley is. B ) He doesn't add much interest or excitement to a GP (unlike say a Emil, Dudek now, Tai is a racer and even Nicki (just about still). There would be absolutely no future sporting justification for including him, other than respecting his world title, but is that fair to give him a place for that reason alone? How much of a say do Monster Energy get on wildcards? Edited July 23, 2017 by TheReturn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I am not a Greg fan but he is the reigning Champion. To not see him offered a wild card would be ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Greg was in the top 8 before his injury. We are only half through the series. A lot can happen yet. Bet against Greg reaching the top 8 or who's going to win the championship at your peril. This is going all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I am not a Greg fan but he is the reigning Champion. To not see him offered a wild card would be ridiculous. But why? He won't be world champion in a month or two, and every year he will bring less and less to the series due to his age. I am really struggling to see the justification.

I am really struggling to see the justification. Im struggling to understand your arguement. I will leave it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
