Star Lady 5,400 Posted June 26, 2004 Where were all the Danish team officials when Nicki was losing his rag tonight. The other Danes didn't seem able to move without being smothered by them. Surely someone from the Danish team should have attempted to calm Nicki down a bit. Also did anyone else notice that Jacob Olsen was allowed on the track to congratulate every Danish rider on the completion of a race. Phil Crump understandably wanted to congratulate his son on winning the GP and Ole "I'm in Charge" Olsen tried to block his way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pugwash 3,208 Posted June 27, 2004 Gate 4 seemed to have an exceptional amount of drive for the early heats. Was this an example of good Danish "management", considering that the first 3 heats had Danes in the yellow helmet? Coincidental no doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had my conspiracy theory hat on as well and think you may well me be on the mark with that. Last Gp I remember when Gate 4 was so productive early was in Vojens a couple of years ago which aided the Danish wild cards then as well. Having said that the Danes rode out of their skins last night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philip Addison 0 Posted June 27, 2004 Thought the track was crap early on,far too slick and i thought we were going to have the most boring GP yet this year.But the track did improve as the meeting went on though. If the Danes did fix the track [ and i did wonder about gate 4 myself as i was watching it ] so what.It always amazes me when you get the likes of Mark Loram moaning that the track wasn't the same as in practice.It's been the same since before Hans Nielsens days for gods sake !!! They always make the tracks grippy in practice then slick as a babies bum for the actual meeting.It happened in the World Cup last year too didn't it [ We were caught out then too.....doh ! ] I can't believe they haven't cottened on to this yet.Then again we're a bit slow on the old uptake in this country.What do we do instead ? At the World Team Cup at Peterborough in 2002 we did it the Danish way.Grippy as hell in practice then slick as hell in the meeting.Cue moans from team GB.

salty 2,208 Posted June 27, 2004 Didn't Ole do the track for World Final at Peterboro'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevtheRev 122 Posted June 28, 2004 What about Gate 2 ? Pedersen has gate 1 in his first heat and if he wins that he's in gate 1 all the way to the semis. Strange then that gate 2 was so bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dwn Posted June 28, 2004 WRONG! Nicki had gate 3 in heat 9... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevtheRev 122 Posted June 28, 2004 Oh Yes, the other side of the bad gate, thats right ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugwash 3,208 Posted June 28, 2004 Will Ole be able to "add the finishing touches" to the tracks at Poole & Eastie for the SWC or will they be prepared "in house" ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garf 0 Posted June 28, 2004 Will Ole be able to "add the finishing touches" to the tracks at Poole & Eastie for the SWC or will they be prepared "in house" ? Come on. The track was equal to everyone. Everyone had to ride the same way around, and after the first laps noone could plan which gate to become in upcomming heats unless finishing one heat. IMO it is just "sour grapes" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philip Addison 0 Posted June 28, 2004 Didn't Ole do the track for World Final at Peterboro'? Think your probably right Salty, but can you imagine one of our track boys going to Denmark and saying he's going to do the track ? FETCH OLE,FETCH OLE !!!!!!!Can't see it happening there can you ?

Guest FastGater Posted June 28, 2004 I also seem to remember the officials removing the tapes so Niels K. Iversen could get to tapes quickly but watched Scott Nicholls have to go the long way round from the pits with 30 secs left. Did anyone else notice this?

SCB 10 Posted June 28, 2004 Actually, the tapes where not there as Puk had just rode through them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
