Danish Gp 28/6
Gavan replied to LagutaRacingFan's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
we are not talking bout the past we are discussing now and MJJ has not gone on from that win. He had falling down the pecking order bit like Janowski. 2 years ago both were on the verge of gp wild cards now they have dropped back behind riders like Kildemand the 2 pawlickis and Dudek to name 4. By your reckoning Harris deserves a place as he has been national champion and won a Grand Prix. Right now forget what he has won riders have improved past MJJ -
The forum now is a much better place. A certain individual has hung up his boots on here and now the threads he used to post on are actually readable and credible again. People used to say i was anti-poole and only posted on poole threads. Now that the one person has left look how many times im on there? hardly any because it now has genuine fans not wind up merchants. Would be good if the mods actually banned the antagonisers and especially the multi aliased one JepsenJensen whatever it is now yet they go unpunished but if you use the word numpty or idiot you are banned! other than that the forum is now all the better than it used to be

Danish Gp 28/6
Gavan replied to LagutaRacingFan's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
For those people who say Ward hasnt got a semi final phobia the stats are: 2013: 9 GP'S - 8 Semi-Finals - 2 Finals 2014: 6 GP'S - 3 Semi-Finals - 1 Final In 15 GP's Darcy has had 11 Semi Finals yet only reached 3 finals - 27% strike rate. Compere that with Tai 2013: 12 GP'S - 10 Semi-Finals - 6 Finals 2014: 6 GP'S - 4 Semi -Finals - 3 Finals In 18 GP's Tai has had 14 Semi Finals and reached 9 Finals. - 65% strike rate They both reached on average the same number of semi finals yet Tai converts into finals hence why he is World Champion. Until Darcy handles the pressure better then he may never get to be champion. -

needs to learn not to over ride when in scoring positions and to stop flunking out in the semis -

I agree with what you say about Ward needing a wise head. Unforunatly the way the gp system is he hasnt learnt to ride with his head yet. Got passed in his last ride rather than settle for the point. And yet again he bombed out in the semi finals not sure wether its the pressure or not but he does have trouble getting further. His gating and inability to get out of the semis will in my view stop him from being world champion. As for lack of passing i thought the racing was ok. Wards pass on Lindgren was sublime. Tai passed people and so did Batchelor. Ina gp series you are going to encounter hard tracks to pass on. Ward needs to learn how to ride all types of tracks. Its no coincedence that Tai and Iversen are in the top 3 again and Hancock as well. These guys do it on all size tracks. Just because Ward is the most excitig rider in the world it doesnt make him the best rider in the world -

Gavan replied to michaelcroucher's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Dear me some people. Its pretty darn obvious the top 3 will be Tai, Harris and Cook. Those saying Harris shouldnt be there are seriously deluded. After that its one from King or Barker. Everyone else (bar Nicholls) isnt good enough -

Edinburgh Vs Rye House (20th Of June)

So the Monarchs fans want Garrity to get a ban for his actions, but its ok for Sneddon to swing a punch and draw blood? Ban them both -
Nicki Pedersen. Mbe ?
Gavan replied to Super Blue's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
sorry but you must have been watching a totally different race to everybody else. Pedersen dive bombed him plain and simple. Other riders tried it throughout the night but realised when to shut off. Nicki just ploughed into him. Your defence is laughable. Pedersen had no regard for the rider he knocked off and as everyone is saying is just a coward. If Nicki wasnt guilty then why did he eventually apologise? Quite correct in saying Zagar shouldnt have reacted but he hardly swung a punch. Were you happy when Boycey decked Gollob? Most fans were. You have no arguement edersen was blatantly at fault.....move on -

31/05 Prague Speedway Gp
Gavan replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
apart from the semi final when 2 riders went past Darcy he definatly lacks concentration dont think its bottle. He literally was asleep when Nicki went passed him. for once he gated well and if he continues like that he will be there or thereabouts. Just needs to learn from Tai on how to close out meetings and make finals not just semis -

Congrats Tai that was a world champions performance. Darcy yet again throws it away in the semi. Lost count now how many semis he goes out in. Needs to look at Tai and carry it through -
Rye House V Ipswich Sat 31st May
Gavan replied to DragonsDen's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Rye House not really a happy hunting ground for us. To many home riders are dialled in there makes them hard to beat. Garrity at reserve makes them stronger just hope he doesnt pole axe any of our boys as he cant seem to stay on the bike or is very wild -

Gavan replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
did you hear the whole interview? said he made mistakes and if he had rode properly like he did in lap 4 he would have won. he is big headed ebd of discussion. oh he read out a 60th birthday dedication what that has to do with being a sore loser is beyond me. -

Gavan replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Bit of a daft statement. Cook is the best rider in the league and wins probably 90% of his races. Needs to learn how to be a good loser. We wouldnt be having this discussion if it was say Max Fricke as he doesnt win almost every race. -
Witches V Monarchs Pl 29th May 7-30pm
Gavan replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Ok lets look at the things you have wrote. Firstly Sedgeman dive bombed Gino and knocked him off. not a hard decision and no arguments from anyone in th Monarchs side of the pits. Sedgeman went over to Gino when he came back to the pits to make sure he was ok. Then im really bemused how you see the Masters incident. Tungate went under him and took him wide. That is called speedway racing though quite clearly in your world you musnt ride riders out wide and actually cleanly pass a Monarchs rider. Masters ended up in the loose stuff about 4 feet from the fence and slid off. If you think Tungate should be excluded for passin a rider making sure the rider goes wide without touching him then you clearly have no idea abou the sport. What you should be moaning about is Masters not getting up when Cook was leading which then turned a 3-3 onto a 1-5. Cook rolled in an earlier heat and then blatantly was moving in heat 13 so deserved his warning. Hawkins also deserved a warning. Ellis isnt making starts like he used to and on a tricky track last night you couldnt really pass easily. We should have lost but the Monarchs threw away points so am more than happy to get a draw And the funniest thing you wrote: The Sedgeman/Gino incident was the same as the Masters/Tungate one!!!!! lol Sedgeman whacks Gino who goes down. Tungate leaves about 3 feet between him and Masters!! How in your world are they the same! -

Gavan replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
get a grip people! Cook is the best rider in the league but his attitude last night was one of a big head to good for this league and didnt like it when he was beaten. Im not saying you should enjoy losing just show a bit of sportsmanship to the guy who beat you. As for people that werent there you dont even have an argument to discuss on here. In heat on Richie was tailed off with what i found out later was carb problems. Cook was half way down the back straight on his slow down lap when Worrall went over the line. Was Richie supposed to roar round and catch him up! After heat 13 Cook crossed the line a fag paper behind the 2 Ipswich boys. He slowed up took off his goggle and turned round rode back to the pits and got the jeers from the home fans in the main stand. Worrall and Tungate congratulated each other then turned round to see no Cook. I was then by the pits when Cook went back in and his team mates went up to him and he didnt acknowledge them. Then get stroppy when asked to get on the truck for the parade. As he went to the showers you ahve to walk past people by the pits area. I saw 2 people with children ask him for an autograph he declined. Im sorry he is a great rider but as a person he need to grow up a little bit. -

Gavan replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
he is the best rider in the league no question. Thing is its ok being annoyed when you get beat and then there is bad sportsmanship. To stop between bends 1 and 2 after a race and not acknowledge the other riders is petulant. If he can't take losing at this level then don't ride premier anymore. Maybe he just couldn't take being outrode by his Belle Vue team mate lol -

Gavan replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Not a bad meeting considering the conditions. Spoke with Richie afterwards who said he had the set up completely wrong in the first 2. Gino is just a star this season along with Morten. Cam really struggled tonight didn't seem to know what lines to ride. Rohan got better and almost snatched the win in the last. The reserves were poor tonight beating out of the gate far to easily. Final thing tonight was the first time I've seen Cook ride and I've never witnessed such a miserable arrogant rider. In heat 13 Tungate and Worrall rode brilliantly to keep him behind. As the race finishes he gets to the first bend turns round and rides back no shake of the hands. In heat 15 Worrall leads him tapes to flag again no handshake or acknowledgement. I go to the pits he comes in after the race his team mates pay him on the back he ignores them and starts taking off his kevlars. As it was a draw both teams go on the truck. He moaned like a petulant child before getting on the truck and sitting there sulking not talking to anyone, comes back gets off the truck and goes to showers. The guy is the best rider in the premier but his attitude stinks. If you think you shouldn't be beat in the premier Craig then go and just ride elite league. After all that well done monarchs solid side and good to see Steve Worrall riding so well again -
