  1. Great stuff tonight from all the riders. Hampel was immense for the Poles. Crump awesome for the Aussies and King was superb for us. Slovenia were never in the reckoning but who'd have had money on Ana Conda coming second in the heat he did.

     

    So....it's off to Leszno on Thursday. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions. None of great difficulty to make. Drop Edward Kennett, who I've always said is poor on the bigger tracks, and bring Lee Richardson in.

     

    Simples :lol:

  2. I really enjoyed this meeting, at last we have a decent track unlike the farce of a track we had last year. Gutted I didnt go, wish I had have now. There seemed to be less crashes but better racing this year and No one can complain about the winner Jason Crump was brilliant.

     

    I think the main talking point has to be the Nicholls/Sayfudtinov punch up. I couldnt belive the reaction of Emil, on the biggest stage of our sport he has to show it like that. I dont excuse Scott Nicholls one bit, he shouldnt have reacted like that especially when Ashley Holloway barged him aswell. Nicholls didnt do anything wrong in the race, it was just hard racing. I saw Derek Sneddon fence Richard Sweetman last week and even that didnt end up in a punch up. How hard a rider is Emil, if he dishes it out he should learn how to take it. Hes just a joke, I dont care how talented a rider he is i wont cheer for that prat now. :angry:

     

    Another incident was the Andersen/Pedersen one, Im no fan of Nicki but excluding him was a complete joke. I thought it should have been all 3 back, even if he thought Hans had drifted off his line into Nicki's then fair enough, but to exclude Nicki was just bonkers. The Harris one was right, he touched Hans Hans went down a bit easy but it was contact none the less. There was some great racing, the heat when Scotty and AJ had a great battle was good and I though the semi when Gollob/Ulamek and Lindgren were close for a time, many other heats aswell.

     

    Good showing from Bomber, better from Scott compared to Rubbish hes served us in previous rounds. Kennett did okay but faded later, pity Tai didnt get a ride.

     

    All in all I enjoyed this, Skys coverage was excellent I couldnt fault them they even stayed untill after the fireworks display. Still not convinced about Charlie Webster, but impressed with Keith (forgot his second name/presenter), I just wish Mark Loram would smile. :lol:

     

    Bring on Next year, im 100% going Well done to Crump

     

    Good Post Kev but with the Harris exclusion I thought it was harsh. Andersen had got out of shape and Bomber just held his line. Andersen went down way, way too easily IMO and the ref could have put all 4 back.

     

    Agree about Charlie Webster though. She got on my nerves tonight and used the word 'buzzing' wayyyyyyyyyy too often.

     

    Had to laugh at Ermolenko calling the FIM a 'Gentlemans Club'.

    *************************

    Comments:

     

    Line Up and Riding Order confirmed. Programme started. Showing scenes of outside the stadium. Looks sunny. Track looks smooth. Keith Huewen thinks today will see the biggest British GP attendance ever.....they say that every year though.

     

    Mark Webber (F1 Driver), Mark Loram and Sam Ermolenko in the studio with Keith. Charlie Webster doing the pit walk. Chris Louis is on the track. He says there's 3,500 tons of shale on the track and nicknamed it the 'Sacred Shale'. He says there's more banking on the track this year than in previous years.

     

    Just going through the first 4 rounds now and showing the current standings. Sad to see Scott Nicholls in 16th place.....out of 15 permanent riders.

     

    Mark Webber just giving Crumpie the big up and they're now focusing on the Emil/Nicki clashes. Mark Loram talking about the British lads chances as 'Rule Brittania' and 'Land Of Hope & Glory' blare out from the stadium PA. It's like a scene from Last Night Of The Proms. Charlie interviewing Bomber now and now interviewing Eddie Kennett. Previewing who they think will be a that tonight...Crump, Emil, Nicki, Greg and Bomber.

     

    Chris Louis interviewing Leigh Adams about how it feels to ride at Cardiff.

     

    Riders coming out onto parade on huge chopper type bikes to massive noise from the crowd.

     

    National Anthems time and Miss's Red, Blue, White and Yellow are looking particulary attractive tonight.

     

    Riders being introduced to the crowd now. Big cheers for the Brits, bar Simon Stead for some reason. Kind of muted, forced, cheers for Emil The Russian and half cheers and half boos for Nicki Pedersen.
