flagrag Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 Such a shame that all the young Brits are away this weekend at the SGP2 qualifiers as would have been good experience for Dan Thompson and Ashton Boughghen I wonder who will be the next replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there's a need for an U24 Championship. Doesn't bother me if a certain age group don't qualify, pretty much it's a case of if there good enough they'll be in the final. Personally I'd much rather they have qualifiers. Simply takes away any arguments about who "deserves to be in the final". The biggest problem with using rolling averages would be a rider like Dan Thompson, ok he's in an SGP2 qualifier but if he wasn't he may miss out because he's carrying 2023 scores in his average, rather than solely counting his excellent 2024 scores.

1stbender Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 A few injuries and the line up drops considerably. Do worry for Tai in this a bad meeting especially now given the line up, I think will all but end next years GP position for him as I can’t see him improving in this years series.

Steve Shovlar Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 Houston we have a problem. The 8 hour motorbike endurance race is not due to end until well after 8pm, as of time of typing this there were 5 hours 15 minutes still left to run on the race. British Final is due to start broadcasting at 7pm. Not going to happen. Again some endurance race looks like it’s going to chase the speedway off Eurosport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
