Gavan 5,068 Posted July 4, 2015 Why oh why are kelvin and nige saying it's great racing. It's an absolute borefest. Racing is processional. The only chance of winning if your not in gate 1 is if AJ Kasprzak or Harris are inside you. I backed Tai but I'm not sure he is quick enough. Zagar or Holder at the moment but I'm expecting a charge from Iversen. Let's hope the racing gets better. Well done Cookie as well winning his first gp heat.

Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted July 4, 2015 That's pretty much every speedway meeting there is!! But every speedway meeting doesn't have a 40k + attendance, 2 1/2 weeks to prepare the track and admission prices at this level!!! It really does appear that the decision has been taken that a smooth racing surface is non negotiable and if that results in what we've seen tonight so far then the promoters are happy.

Results in passing in Heats 2,4,6,7,8,11 & 12? That's plenty of passing by ANY standards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

george.m 3,063 Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Yeah Pedersen you're never in the wrong are you? The world's against you. Other riders "acting" .... my backside! Edited July 4, 2015 by george.m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted July 4, 2015 Nicki knew he was out then, hence his calm reaction.. just playing to the cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,729 Posted July 4, 2015 Nicki has gate 1 in 17 so should win and get to the semi. His to lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,068 Posted July 4, 2015 What a prat Nicki is! Knocks into everyone knocks them off and is never at fault. Let's hope he runs a last in his last one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted July 4, 2015 Nicki was 100% correct in what he says, riders do play for it. Where he was hypocritical is he has done it himself numerous times. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfsbane 12,944 Posted July 4, 2015 Results in passing in Heats 2,4,6,7,8,11 & 12? That's plenty of passing by ANY standards. But not of the bloke off gate 1 unless it's Harris & AJ who are riding like amateurs. Unfair riding is unfair riding whether it be NL fours or SGP. Always the victim, it's never your fault eh Pedersen?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted July 4, 2015 But not of the bloke off gate 1 unless it's Harris & AJ who are riding like amateurs. So? The accusation is there is no passing. There has been plenty. Even more now after Heat 13, with passing and repassing, with a Nicki exclusion thrown in for more entertainment. Jepsen Jensen was also overtaken, he was off gate 1 in Heat 2, and Zagar passed him. Now passing in heats 2,4,6,7,8,11,12,13,14. Still awful no doubt though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
