Anybody who has watched NP over the years knows that he has two plans when he arrives at the tapes. Plan A make the gate, blast away and win (Perfect)! Plan B if he misses the gate cause a first bend 'incident and get an all four restart so he gets another chance to gate. On Saturday he hit the back of Adams and Pederson on PURPOSE and conned the ref into making a stupid decision. I don't think he expected them to be excluded just to get a restart. In the previous GP he chopped right across Crumpy causing him to shut off on the first bend. I wonder who would have been excluded if Crumpy had kept going and crashed into him ? Last year in one of the GP's Pederson was up to his usual tricks and the SKY presenter asked Sam Ermolenko and Billy Hamill who were in the studio what they thought. Both said he's a dangerous rider. That was good enough for me coming from two former world champions.

One of these days his trick of clattering into other riders on purpose will come unstuck. Instead of sliding into the airfence and getting away with it yet again he will end up being taken away in an ambulance.

The referee was a complete idiot. The only consolation for me was that 'push em off Pederson' didn't win the final and the ref lost the big wad he had on with the bookie.

I don't know why the ref didn't just call it as all 4 restart. Both riders would have been happy and all this arguing would be needless.

And suprise, suprise Push em off Pederson got 2 reds and a blue again. Why don't they have 4 heats, 1 from each gate ?

I am just waiting to see what sort of track he will prepare if Nicki gets 3 of the outside gates in a GP. Will Red & Blue suddenly become c**p
