AndyM 1 Posted August 2, 2005 I missed it! Can someone describe exactly what happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t1tmt 3 Posted August 2, 2005 if only Gollob rode like that every time, how many times champion by now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted August 2, 2005 Smolinski got a flier where as PK and Gollob missed the start. PK went wide and got moved out of the way, Gollob went under Adams and on the 4th bend all 4 riders were side by side but by the time they entered the 1st bend, Smoli was leading wit PK and Gollob battling away behind him and Adams behind them all. Then for the next 3 laps, Gollob and Adams raced side by side, passing and re-passing and every now and again dropping behind Smoli. On the line Adams JUST got the win to stop Poland winning the meeting and handing the win to the Swedes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted August 2, 2005 Gollob on a Joker ride traded places with Leigh Adams for 4 laps, with Smolinski in the mix and PK at the back. Gollob's riding really defied belief at times in the race. It was amazing. Adams was outstanding as well. But it really was a throwback to the Gollob of old. Hanging off the bike, hurtling into the bends at impossible speeds and maintaining control somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jez 4 Posted August 2, 2005 if only Gollob rode like that every time, how many times champion by now? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If Adams rode like that every time, how many times would he have been World Champion by now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted August 2, 2005 Gollob's best two rides in recent years have probably been in the SWC. His defeat of Crump in Ht 25 of the race-off last season and this incredible ride in Ht 25 tonight. Such a shame he didn't win it, but Adams really rode well and wouldn't really have deserved to lose it. I'd expect to see Walasek replace Kasprzak in the race-off.
