manchesterpaul 447 Posted August 25, 2012 Sky's standings show Bjarne Pedersen on 40pts despite the fact that before the meeting he had 41 and scored 2. I make that 43! Anyway, you know what, do i care? noooooo because Thank You Sky for providing us with a chance to witness yet another marvellous GP. Although it's not a freebie i do pay a hefty fee for ALL of your channels lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pandorum 1,259 Posted August 25, 2012 My tip was Greg but I wanted Emil to win if a Brit didn't. So lucky I was not near a betting shop today. Most of the time Harris looked as if he was in the last race never mind the one he was supposed to be in. I have seen faster in the ASDA with people on mobility scooters. If he gets a pick it will be because he is blackmailing someone. But at least Scotty had a go. Unlucky in #12 but never a contender. Good atmosphere but looked a very poor crowd. Surely the 40,000 they usually trawl out will look very suspect. It looked as if 25 would have been a good guess. Holder and Emil was a race 'out of the top drawer' :) How the hell they finished was something of an amazement to me. Congrats to Chris as he was the best rider on display but some great races and the 2nd semi was something. All in all another very good show from Cardiff and enjoyed watching it.

Speedy swindon pete 509 Posted August 25, 2012 Good stuff from noddy...looked very good lately. Very good GP. Shame the track was graded and watered a bit too severely at times just as it was getting good, but still very good all round. Credit to Nicholls for his effort, unlucky to miss out on the semi.

HasseHolmqvist 102 Posted August 25, 2012 well unfortunately Ljung and Lindgren is probably not likely either. NEVER write off Fast Freddie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedcrazy 58 Posted August 25, 2012 After watching an entertaining British GP I was looking forward to it being topped off by seeing the presentation of the trophy's, but no, all we saw was a gentleman walk up to the podium with, I presume the 3rd place trophy and then the programme finished. They then showed 'bits and pieces' from the meeting. A poor finish to the night. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) NEVER write off Fast Freddie i won't but you know i WILL take credit for his place in the final. Hadn't i written that. He might have continued with 1's and 0's. Re comments about the low crowd, wonder if August date meant many we're on annual holidays? perhaps lots of people had been at the Olympics and did not fancy going to Cardiff as well?

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 25, 2012 Just heading out of Cardiff after a fantastic day. Well done Noddy what a win. Well done KK and Toninio. Brilliant being a Pirates fan tonight. Holder clearly the most popular rider there tonight after the Brits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted August 25, 2012 CROWD was just under 38,000 which was about 12 per cent down on last year. But BSI were happy in view of all the circumstances ... late August staging, Bank Holiday weekend, cricket in town, no hotels at a reasonable cost, people taking late holidays after Olympics. Date for 2013 will be announced on Sky on Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
