Please come up with a solution which doesn't include rerunning before Cardiff as that clearly isn't a viable option. I'm all ears..... Brennan was only one to beat any other rider tied on 8. Also beat the rider who beat Harris. Sorted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 I don't see a problem with it, because young Adam is still the current British Champion... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OML Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 So who gets next year's wildcard, the winner of the re-staging or next year's winner? Someone is still going to miss out. 2005 world U21 final was decided on the toss of a coin after Kasprzak and Suchanek had tied on points but hadn't met each other, and that was to decide a world champion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk127 Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Ellis has no moral fibre in him. He was well beaten tonight and should have declined to accept the wild card when riders far better then him were more worthy of the nomination. He has no conscience and seemingly will screw anyone. I hope he can sleep at night. 5 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haza Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Why hold the British Final so close to the Cardiff GP if it been held say first Monday in July and it was a wet night plenty of time to re schedule it before Cardiff - piss up in brewery springs to mind - a total embarrassment on live tv and I feel for the fans in the stadium paying £20-£25 - do they get a refund ?

Grachan Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Why are people coming out with the usual nonsense about farce and so on by Ellis getting the wild card. He is still the reigning British champion. It's a perfectly reasonable decision even if it's not what I would have preferred. For me they should have known after heat 12 that the meeting was doomed and gone straight to either a 3 or 4 man final immediately. Failing that, I think Brennen should have been declared the winner as he had beaten Bewley. As Harris hadn't raced either it gave him a possible advantage points wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was said the riders were in agreement with it, maybe some weren't but either way I wouldn't blame Ellis, even though I don't rate him that highly as rider, he won it last year though and, based on tonight's situation where it was impossible to call a winner, deserves the wildcard in my opinion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the farce, if someone had 9 that would've been it, champion crowned no re-run and they would be off to Cardiff. Because they've not thought of a rule should this situation occur they've come up with some total cop and begged the FIM for help 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
