fullbore 129 Posted September 6, 2013 most of the time they just disqualify the rider on the outside .... And a lot of people on here argued strongtly that Emil should have been excluded not Zagar in Copenhagen... Niamh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted September 6, 2013 Grow up for goodnes sake!!... First Holder, now Emil, the only 2 who could have challenged Tai are now both out of the equation, so who on earth is there left to challenge him (unless Tai got injured too, which NO-ONE would want to see)? Some people can't see past the end of their own nose and would swear black is white until everyone else in the country said they were wrong (even then they'd struggle to believe it!). Well done to Tai who HAS been a revelation this season, but unfortunately for him, he now needs to do it again another year, otherwise people are always going to say that he only won it because of injuries to his only 2 rivals (rightly or wrongly). No they won't. Only a few ignorant ones would. Holder was a long way behind Woffinden already, and as Woffindens scoring has continued unabated there is little chance he could have made any inroads. Woffinden is already AHEAD of Emil, despite crashing out of one GP himself (losing 5-6 pts min) in the process, plus riding with an injury after that.

DukesGreg 46 Posted September 6, 2013 Let's be honest here too, there are some great riders in this field, and Tai was leading the chase in spite of being injured and riding through the barrier himself this year. I will have no qualms or 'what ifs' about him being crowned World Champion. Points wise, he's there anywhere... he has scored more GP points at this moment this year than any other rider on earth. Now if he'd have been 20 behind..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Navigator1900 19 Posted September 6, 2013 And a lot of people on here argued strongtly that Emil should have been excluded not Zagar in Copenhagen... Niamh never my friend, Zagar's exclusion was 100 % correct, he shut the door against Emil ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted September 6, 2013 never my friend, Zagar's exclusion was 100 % correct, he shut the door against Emil ! Which riders do in every race, including riders like Hancock. However, the rider behind will normally back off and not try to ride through a non-existent gap. Emil was at fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fullbore 129 Posted September 7, 2013 There we go referees are right to exclude the rider on the outside! So Meidzinski was innocent... Niamh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HAMMER57 27 Posted September 7, 2013 WRONG I'm afraid ... just had a text from Tony Olsson confirming that Emil has now withdrawn... That will mean some people saying Tia only won because Emil out. But lets be fair as sports fans he is leading rode when hurt and I for one wish him luck as I did from the start. But most of all lets remember he is a speedway rider and puts all on the line as they all do every heat.Lets hope no one hurt tonight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted September 7, 2013 WE are hearing, and I stress this is unofficial because Emil's camp are keeping very quiet, that miraculously nothing is broken and he was very close to riding tonight but didn't feel strong enough. He's one tough young kid and if he does make it back for Stockholm will underline the value of being super-fit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's one tough young kid and if he does make it back for Stockholm will underline the value of being super-fit. Having seen his arm retract back on impact, I still genuinely find this very hard to believe Philip. However, we can only go on statements that are put out by certain parties the time. I still feel that he is very much more injured than anyone is officially letting on. Fingers crossed for the lad, either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
