Christ that lineup looks poor 

Folk say that every year but I'm not sure what is expected really, its no mystery or surprise who the best British riders are (minus Woffinden and Lambert).

Haven't done a British Final  for years. Do they still have the nerve to put the admission price up and stuff two quid on the proggy for four extra pages?

I rather meant that Ipswich have been using r/r for him for a while, surprised to see him named in the line up ....

“Starkey has seen a different specialist today and had an MRI scan and they have found the problem. They’ve said he needs two to six weeks of recovery to be fully fit and he has already done one of them. We are hoping that it will be on lesser side, and he will be with us next meeting.”

Should be fit for August.

I don't have any problem with that line-up at all. Should be a very competitive meeting throughout as a British Final. 

The only problem is that Bewley apart, (because he's already a GP rider) the Cardiff Wildcard is gonna be extremely embarrassed. 

Controversial opinion, I'd rather the Wildcard for Cardiff was a foreigner.

Take Bewley off the top and Flint/Brennan off the bottom and frankly and not being disrespectful its a DIRE situation when you look at the ages, profile of the bulk of the field.

Whilst Lambert and Bewley have flown the nest and we wait for the likes of Flint, Brennan, Kemp, Palin, Thompsons, Edwards etc to find their feet and ultimate level (and as the years go by what will that level be?) its boringly average by Global standards.

What we really need is a European outlet for the Palins , Brennans , Edwards , Kemps but with Sweden in equally sorry state as us and Denmark not really fitting due to Wednesday racing it's a tough transition even to the bottom (3rd tier) in Poland, where our best younger riders get to feed off the scraps and tough to make a foothold.

So who is the next rising 30 or even 40 year old to take a Crown that used to be the domain of genuinely world class riders?
