Jacques 3,114 Posted October 22, 2016 If a footballer is penalised incorrectly for delibarate handball, does he walk off the pitch carrying the ball? Or does he get on with it and protest his innocence after the game. For too long the sport has indulged the likes of Middleditch, who decided Hancock was innocent and threw his toys out the pram IMMEDIATELY because the Ref had the temerity to apply the rules. What kind of attitude is that????? You have to stay firm at this point, because there is an attitude in a certain speedway clique that they can do what they like and the rules are just there for the plebs. Fair play to Hancock if he is genuinely innocent, but I choose to listen to Kelvin, another ex rider who's opinion I actually respect. i was surprised that Kelvin said what he did. He was surprised he had to say it.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMungo 708 Posted October 22, 2016 It was very poor taste, no doubt. The worst of it all, is that it was 100% totally pointless. There have been other situations in the past; Loram/Screen as mentioned before, but the one that sticks out for me is Vojens '96 - again involving the yanks! Without that interference, I am convinced Nielsen would have been world champion. Whilst you could never ever condone such actions, there was a world title at stake. But Hancock was well, words fail me. I don't know the ins and outs of the rule book, but would love it if there was an option of docking points being added in the future to try and prevent such instances happening again. It may just make a few of these guys think. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Flag 454 Posted October 22, 2016 Hancock taking the p*** there coming into Holder's interview with his big cheesy grin and hugging him. As for Pearson and his constant "Based on opinion" crap.... That's the spoon connection, you can never take the spoon out of the man 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martin_t 219 Posted October 22, 2016 Manipulating a race to help a friend/countryman or in this case Monster teammate is never acceptable. I would still say the same if Greg was helping Tai out tonight.Pulling out did help him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midland Red 2,383 Posted October 22, 2016 Hancock proving what a fake he's always been. He's not a nice guy, he doesn't give a sh17 about his fans (those who admit it) and he's all about himself and no one else. Some world champ to cheat and then walk out on fans who see him once a year. Good riddance, counting down the day until he retires and hopefully takes that other odious Yank with him. Spot on!

Mark 1,497 Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) http://www.greghancock.com/ if the equipment showed a fault in his first heat, got worse in the 2nd heat, why didn't his team change the part, repair it or use another bike if a repair could not be made. Why would a rider who sounds so scared to ride a bike thats not 100% go out on a bike that isn't knowingly 100%.
