I believe the last one was planned for 2020, with 10 riders seeded, and the next 16, racing for the next 16 places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloom89 Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Take Bewley out of the field and it’s like a championship riders final and a poor one at that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmiler Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Appalling line up and it will result in an even poorer GP wild card. Not good. Disappointing Robert Lambert couldn’t pop over to give Bewley a challenge. On current form I’d say we are going to end up with Tom Brennan, Richard Lawson or Charles Wright at Cardiff.

What did you expect, Lambert and Tai haven't done British Champ for years. Lets hope the Aussie doesn't get the wildcard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) Chris Harris can go well around Cardiff if I remember right. Is he in it. I was surprised last night how many Aussies rode for Leicester or Ipswich. How many in the total ride in UK for Premier or Championship?. Britain seems to be the development ground for Aussies. Need more opportunities for Brit riders to develop. Edited August 1, 2023 by OveFundinFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC67 Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 The line up is just another example of how far the general standard of speedway in the UK had fallen , the days of star studded British finals are long gone unfortunately,. Back in the day this was a rung on the ladder towards qualification for the World Final , I can’t see anyone in the lineup who would challenge for a world title 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can , but it's changed days from when a British final has the likes of Havelock, Loram , Screen , Dugard & Louis or going back further Collins , Lee & Simmonds . Used to be a great event and a fantastic day out its a very poor shadow of itself nowadays, but it is what it's and we just have to make the best of it things aren't going to change any time soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therefused Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 It doesnt look the most exciting to be honest, but add Woffinden and Lambert in and it already looks 10x better. Hopefully in a few years a few of the new wave of 15, 16, 17 year olds are still improving and a part of this too. Do think the British u21 champ should automatically be added into it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry_Bee Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 It’s a shame the top British riders can’t make it, would really make it more of a fight than anyone seriously trying to get near Bewley. Not really surprised about Nicholls, the venue really isn’t suited and unless he’s going to be in the mix he’s obviously looking ahead with his TV career. Those Wolverhampton British finals with Nicholls and Harris were certainly entertaining and no inch given. I do think a change with the danish style that takes in different venues as it gives the technical track craft along side just being 8 stone dripping wet trying to hang onto the bike full throttle around Belle Vue but that’s just my personal take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
