Slovenian Grand Prix

[Authorised 60]

Weather killed it. Before the rain it was a cracking meeting. Shame even before the rain the Brits were crap. Sooner we get some fresh blood coming through the better.

 

Before the rain, Scott had 3 rides - all from Gates 3 and 4. Bjarne Pedersen was dreadful considering he had 2 rides from Gate 1.

Yep. And you point is?

Quality riders like Nikki and Hans will do well whatever gate they come from. Gollob earned his inside gates and did a superb job. Well done him. The English were poor as usual , Baaa!

can anyone post the final standings please??

Yes, Nicki and Hans were the class apart, and the only 2 to register wins from the outside. How did Gollob earn his last 2 rides to be from Gate 1 prior to the semis? Of course it was the luck of the draw.

Re-read what you said, essentially Nicholls was crap even before the rain? Well, he had 2 rides of his 3 prior to the rain from Gate 3. Only a couple of riders were ever going to 'not be' crap from there.

Indeed it was fortunate for Gollob but that's the way the cookie crumbles , by that rationale how did Nicholls earn his last ride off gate 1 !

So, the apparently written off 'One Track Pony' won his 12th GP (incorporating his 500th GP heat) at the age of 37.

 

Then some of us knew, ofcourse, that the 'One Track Pony' was going to still be a top 4 contender in 2008, as he has been for the previous GP seasons, when injury and bad luck have probably stopped him winning the actual title of GP champion itself.

 

Well done Tomasz. May the form, luck, speed - whatever it takes, carry you on in this season to hopefully, either win the title that you have so richly deserved for so long or, at least, to prove your doubters wrong.

 

Long Live & Prosper Tomasz, one of the great entertainers in an otherwise increasingly drab world.

 

(Interesting that the Super GPs are all on temporary tracks and not on proper speedway tracks - they obviously don't want TG to win that one then :-))

Indeed Steve - they are just behind Bjarne in the queue for the exit.

 

I know his gating was once again crap but not sure whether you noticed Harris had 1 gate 1, 1 gate 2, 1 gate 3 and 2 gate 4's. Hardly helped was he ?.

Couldn't agree more Macca. He brings something different to the GP party, he's unorthodox & i for one will miss him when he retires. Looking forward to trips to Leszno & Bydgoszcz to see him race live this season - yeah I'll be supporting the English lads too but Gollob on his own patch, would recommend it to anyone!

[superguest 194]

Good meeting until the rain came down.

Fred rode hard for their points, infact I can't believe he only scored 1 more than KK.

 

Bjarne looks like the next Richardsson, Lindback and Pepe... shame as Ive always liked Bjarne

 

Leigh Adams - what the heck?

Jason Crump - what the heck? Also, wonder what Sam meant by 'people in Oxford'

 

Nicki only has two rivals. AJ and Hans. They both don't look too convincing yet, still hope Hans can do it though!

[Firestorm 5]

Like I said - don't write off the Aussie duo after only one GP!!

 

They'll be getting in the mix no doubt tres soon...

 

But congats to Gollob for winning...

 

One thing, a certain Mr Adams will now probably be in a foul mood for Monday (and its his birthday!!) so Eastbourne might end up on the receiving end of that one (I hope!!)

 

 

[Mr. Clemens 646]

 

 

Well done Mr Gollob

[Guest chris26]

have to say, that was grand prix racing at it's absolute best!

 

sure, the rain intervened but overall, was pure class and was proper gp racing. long may it continue.
