justathought 374 Posted August 27, 2013 That's what happens when a fellow rider turns right on you entering a bend at 50+ mph on a bike with no brakes I wouldn't have thought for one moment that it was intended. But, you could be right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,135 Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't have thought for one moment that it was intended. But, you could be right. You can never be 100% sure, but it certainly riled Kozza enough to take not one, but two swings at Lasse... We were told the fine was £300, but even Kozza wasn't sure! The two individual fines would make sense though in this case. The pits at Leicester are obscured, so none of us saw the incident in question after the race.

Shadders 4,135 Posted August 27, 2013 It is what you call hard racing Most of the top riders give room to race. Only a half wit would deliberately put another rider at risk by such a reckless move, if indeed it was intended 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pits at Leicester are obscured, so none of us saw the incident in question after the race. I can't believe any rider would deliberately ride another into the fence. If they do, then I believe there is no place for them in speedway. I suppose there is a fine line between hard riding and deliberately taking someone off. They all know the dangers involved and you don't get many second chances at 50+ mph into a fence. I can understand why Kozza did it but can't believe Lasse did it.

Bandits4eva 1,003 Posted August 27, 2013 And that just goes to show what a fool Smith is. You have someone almost sandwich you in heat 13 and then again turn right on you 2 heats later and you wouldn't feel aggrieved?! Yeah, ok! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,784 Posted August 27, 2013 Heat 8 should be interesting tomorrow night Apparently they had a disagreement after heat 8 last Wednesday so this may have been brewing. Hopefully Rob will get them in the office before the meeting tomorrow evening and get it sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elmo 274 Posted August 27, 2013 It may have been that Lasse was trying to avoid Magnus who was also in the vicinity, 3 riders on the same bit of track will cause problems for someone one way or another. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, ok! i dont think there was any intent just three riders going hard at it all wanting the same piece of track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandits4eva 1,003 Posted August 27, 2013 i dont think there was any intent just three riders going hard at it all wanting the same piece of track. That's fair enough but his move on Kozza in 15 was hard and he did hit him down the back straight... I would have been peeved too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMW 533 Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) I'm taking it that this something Kozza has ever done before, himself? Edited August 28, 2013 by TMW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
