Exactly, anybody with an ounce of sense could see Tai picked up trying to round Niels and was basically a passenger from that point onwards. The 'Monster paranoia brigade' on the forum have their own strange agenda though.

Personally I'm looking forward to seeing bomber 'annoy' the fans again next year!

Oh yes, that certainly livened up a dull, wet night at Hackney!

Well, unless he qualifies someday. I really don't see what's so wrong with riders having a bit of a go at each other on the slowdown lap. Down the years we've had Nicholls/Dryml, Nicholls/Sayfutdinov, Crump/Holder, Pedersen/practically everyone, etc... It just adds to the entertainment. It's when it spills into the pits and mechanics, managers and hanger ons get involved that needs to be seriously looked at.

Bydgoszcz 2000 was the most nerve-wracking 3 hours of my life. Obviously glad Tai won, but he seems to do it so easily. It's just not the British way! Would love it to go down to the wire next year but there just doesn't seem to be anyone who can seriously test him at the moment.

You really are beneath contempt.

I believe he injects himself with the blood of young gp riders to slow the ageing process, and regenerate himself before each round.

Only to a few deluded souls.

Bizarrely there are people on this forum who believe Hancock to be some kind of evil overlord who controls the thoughts and actions of his gp rivals. There are some vivid imaginations out there!

Of course he's going to congratulate the better man. Nicki knows his place.

Pardon me if I don't take the opinion of someone who takes great joy in spelling the last four letters of the current world number two's surname in capitals too seriously.

It was only a harmless joke, nothing more sinister than that. I think some people are a little over sensitive.

Dear oh dear, somebody's had a sense of humour bypass!

Didn't much care for Tapp, although Crumpy was good I did miss Nige and Kelv.

So entertaining reading all the 'Hancock hating' posts! Why can't people just accept the obvious, Greg is simply a better rider than Nicki.

Congratulations Greg, absolutely immaculate. Nicki nowhere, ha, love it!

Hopefully Jason's ok. Shame for a great gp to end like this.

This is why having wildcard picks every year is rubbish. It would be edge of the seat stuff between Holder and Kildermand for the 8th place, but whoever misses out will get a pick anyway.

Masters just gave 'future world champion' Janowski a tough race. I think he's doing well.

Looking like Holder may need Kildemands wildcard pick for next year! A late reminder from KK to the organisers for a pick next year?

Hancock doesn't need any help, looking sublime. Nicki buckling under the pressure.

No chance, there are riders who will possibly 'help Greg out' if needed. Nicki's on his own.

I see that the Bees fans have their own section!

I remember Jimmy the Viking getting knocked off his bike by Screeny the Viking many years ago after a race at Hull!

I'll admit this list was harder than the entertaining one.
