I agree that he sometimes is too reckless and for that he deserves criticisms but that doesn't mean Nicki always is the offender as his haters claim. I've seen occasion where Nicki and been accused of dirty riding against another rider after a crash in a GP, the only problem though is that Nicki didn't ride in that heat. He was in his pit box tending bikes or whatever. And then there is the double standard or hypocrisy from fans. They scream their throats out with hate against Nicki but when another rider (like Blue here) makes a stupid move nobody cares. Also yesterday the very minor incident between Nicki and Harris. Nicki took a chance and went for the outside of Harris. Nicki ran out of room and laid it down. Instantly hate and boo comments about Nicki starts to pop up, that it was dirty/ unsportmanslike and etc. Finally the official Swedish stream is online. They said the stream would start at 16.25 Swedish time but instead they were showing Italian footboll commented by a Finnish speaking commentator.,

Nicki and another rider was side by side,...

I don't call you a hater because you're not but there IS allot of hate both here and in social media towards Nicki. Anyone can like or dislike anyone they want but all the hate is to take things way to far and they will ALWAYS blame Nicki regardless of situation (even when he is not riding). And someone like Darcy should just keep his big mouth shout after all of his alcohol related scandals. Driving under the influence is much much worse the Nicki

Several good performances in his wild card appearances the past couple of years (but still overlooked in favour of Lindgren), a good season in the Swedish league where his heat average is 1,682, which can be compared with Chris Holder, 1.690 and Emil Sajfutdinov 1,712, Zmarzlik 1.633, Freddie Lindgren 1.608. Not super fantastic perhaps but IMO THJ have earned himself a wild card and for how many years was Harris awarded a wild card with the sole reason him being a Brit. But IMO it also depends on if Lindgren and/or Jonsson make it within the top 8.

That was not the point. Harris just went wider and wider and did not keep his line and prevented Nicki from turning left which eventually meant that Nicki had to drop it to prevent him from fencing himself. The situation are the same. Both Harris and Batch had the whole track available but chooses to try to block the either rider. Batchelor was too late and too slow. Once he and Nicki made contact, Nicki was already ahead buy 3/4 of a bike length.

yeah right, I don't believe that for a second.

let me guess, Chris Holder and Tai Woffinden?

So did Chris Harris on Nicki but Nicki got excluded for that one so both you and the ref have double standard just so you can find an excuse to blame Nicki.

Why would they do any different at another track? I am certain that FIM/Wada have quite strict rules for the testing process. and that those who claim that the test result was inaccurate just use it as an "excuse" to Darcy failing the breath test.

Nicki gives his own view on the incident: http://sporten.tv2.dk/2014-09-13-skuffet-nicki-p-udelukket-i-vojens-helt-hen-i-vejret Not surprised by Wojacek's ruling, he ALWAYS excludes Nicki no matter what happened.

Well compare Nicki to Leigh Adams. Who is/was the most of a gentleman on the track and who's a three time world champion...

Perhaps, but then the referees would take the easy way out and "always" allow both in re-start, except Nicki who always would be excluded.

That surely applies to Nicki as well doesn't it? If Nicki is ex'd despite being lightly touched, surely Batchelor should have been excluded there after doing the same thing? Or is that rule only valid when Nicki is the one that falls?

Nicki was ahead and where do you suppose he should have gone there? Door was wide open and Batchelor just thought he could lay himself on Nicki but Nicki was already ahead. LIke Arson fire says. Had it been anyone else then Nicki Batch would have been ex'd. or the opposite situation Nicki would have been pointed to as being the offender as well.

Almost unbelievable that Bjerre was able to walk away from that. What AJ is doing shouldn't be allowed. No rider should be allowed at the track without being seated on their bikes, Second 2min should have been put on directly and any rider that leaves the track should immediately be DSQ. Batch have to go there.

Imo transponders should be implemented. A reaction time is decided about if a rider moves faster then the decided time he/she is excluded. Just like in athletics where they also have sensors to decide if a runner have reacted to fast. Anyone who has is DSQ,

Power cut in Vojens apparently. Power seems to be back though.

It seems that were some doubts regarding silencers before the GP: ¨http://translate.google.com/translate?depth=1&hl=en&ie=UTF8&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/467768/zakwestionowano-tlumiki-zuzlowcow-przed-grand-prix-nordyckim

Apparently Szymon Wozniak was crowned Polish U21 champion today. Piotr Pawlicki was 2nd and Bartosz Zmarzlik was third. http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/467794/szymon-wozniak-mlodziezowym-mistrzem-polski-wyniki

The cost of such event. I think the cost of renting Wembley for the amount of time needed would be "astronomical":

I mentioned it yesterday:

Forecast says sunny weather all day and evening: http://www.dmi.dk/vejr/til-lands/byvejr/by/vis/DK/6500/Vojens,%20Danmark/

I can't believe people still are nagging about giving Gollob a wild card. He have been looking uninterested for a few years now. He was very good when he was at his best but those days are gone now so let it be. Time to focus on the next generation of riders like Zmarzlik.

Tai had 3 practice rounds. 1st was c__p. Last was better but with obvious large pains in his hand.
