Pleased to see Worrall back, fit and involved but how is it fair that he has jumped ahead of others who competed in the semis? He has effectively been seeded through when others have been denied the same in the past.

Lambert??? did he once break-down coming back from Newcastle for the Semi- Final ???

Anyone but Schlein. No way this Aussie should be anywhere near the British final. Disgraceful taking a place of a British rider.

what if he wins it? Gets the cardiff British wild card? Utterly wrong.

Never thought I would see the day I agreed with you but this time I do on all counts

Schlein is riding on an ACU licence and is entitled to ride in the British Final.

i am not a fan of Schlein... but he has done quite a bit to help the British youngsters.

Simon Wigg rode on a Dutch licence for a few years... the reason being he wanted the easier World Championship rounds via the Netherlands instead of the British rounds.

There's an article in this weeks SS about Andy Smith riding on a Polish license and competing in the Polish Final . . People may not like the fact Rory's in the final but it's happening and there's  not much  we can do about it apart from grumble on here

Really looking forward to this tomorrow, could make a case for nearly half of the field having a chance of winning. Pleased to see Stevie Worrall has recovered from his injury so quickly but it's ridiculous that he's been put in the meeting. Makes a complete mockery of qualification. A predication for the final result is 1. Lambert 2. Schlein 3. Cook 4. Bewley.

I hope Lambert wins, or if Cook wins Lambert gets the Cardiff Wildcard, he deserves it after his efforts in the SON.

Also hope Bewley gets one of the reserve spots at Cardiff, it would be a good experience for him.

Do they have to make the winner of this meeting the GP wildcard? They don't do it every year. Can they just go with Lambert anyway, even if he doesn't win?

He found a loophole in the rules, good for him but he isn't a Brit by any stretch of the imagination and should not be riding in the British Final.

Wiggy, I thought he took out a Dutch licence to "help" his long track/grass track career on the continent?

I don't know if he has, but if he has taken out British Citizenship then he is a Brit.

like I said he's found a loophole in the rules similar to other riders have in the past, does it make him a Brit?.... this may go against the grain in this day and age but to me he isn't a Brit, he's rode 95% of his career on a Aussie licence and now his career is all but done he decides to ride under the GB banner.
