  1. Tabby, if I make a post, more often than not Liesdale will post some rubbish soon after. Wait and see.
  2. Totally disagree. Even Tatum and Sam said Crump should have gone. You don't have to touch to be excluded. Crump took Lindbacks line away causing Lindback to fall. This Polish ref has ben involved in GP controvesy before. Another bad call with Andersen and Nicholls. Both pretty clear cut and he got it wrong on both occassions. Thought it was Durno in the box at one stage.
  3. Here we go again!! STALKER ALERT!! STALKER ALERT!!
  4. BobC we rarely see eye to eye bu tonight we were on the same wavelength. Crump laying in the slime was a joy to see! Must have felt at home:lol: Justice for his move on Lindback. Andersen lifting and losing it. Justice for his move on Nicholls. AJ do or die. Well done to the lad. Well deserved and no controvesy about any of his rides.
  5. Refs having a mare. For a moment I thought it was Chris Durno in the refs box!! Crump rode straight through Lindbacks line giving Lindback nowhere to go but down. It seems some people on here think if the riders don't touch its a fair move. This is not true. Riders can be excluded for causing an opponent to fall, and there was no way Lindback was ever going to stay on with that dangerous move. Crump again shows his true colours. Dangerous on Monday at BV, Dangerous tonight. Someone needs to give him a Boyce style smack in the mouth to bring him in line. Andersen should have been out in the semi. Nicholls very hard done by.
  6. No. Mark had his chance and its time for the youngsters. If he wanted it he should have applied to enter and quaify through this year. It was awful watching some old Norwegian beat him in his last GP. Don't want to see that again. Let the youngsters have a go.
  7. Terribly sad news. had no idea he was even ill. RIP Tony. A very good rider who had his leg over a bike until what seemed just a short time ago.
  8. Well done to Nicholls. A dodgy decision got him there but a Brit in second is to be cheered.
  9. Bad luck Bjarne. Crumps dirty move by leaving no racing room will be remembered. If Bjarne had come off Crump would have been out on his ass.
  10. Trouble for BV fans is that Crump is not likely to be at KL in 2007. Will they still be cheering him on when he rides for a rival team?
  11. Shock decision by the ref. Nicholls obviously at fault. But he needs a second bite of the cherry as he cocked that heat right up.
  12. I am financially solid enough to take several weeks holiday in the summer. Off next weekend in fact. All this talk about TRick not doing well this year. Where was Crump last year? Nowhere. When Crump becomes a 7 times world champion, I will class him a great rider. At the moment he is not even in the same ballpark as the legend.
  13. Crump is so lucky Andersen is not in this years GP series.
  14. Yep Millard is already missing some passing.
  15. Oh dear Toniniho Nerves rear their head again for him.
  16. So does the meeting start at 8 pm UK or is it a delayed broadcast with the meeting starting at the usual time?
  17. Crump has the fasest bikes. Period. his advantage is to get them tuned to the nth degree. Doesn't matter if they blow up as they are given to him anyway. Other riders don't have this luxury and have to have their engines tuned to what they can afford. Whether a rider is on Jawas or GMs doesn't matter either. Lindback smashed the track record at Poole a couple of weeks ago. On a Jawa. Interestingly he has the same engine tuner and also gets free engines.
  18. He is known for it. Rolls just enough to get away with it. But in one heat last night he got a massive roller and the ref did nothing. Cheat as far as I am concerned.
  19. Well said DoncasterDragon. Compare the riders Middlo has to chose from compared to the Polish Team Manager. Middlo has done a remarkable job this year on extremely limited resources. He has the total respect of the riders and always tries to get the absolute best out of them. Ask Loram, Nicholls, Harris, Loram and Louis who they wan to ride under, and they will only give one answer. Middlo. Well done Middlo on a great effort to get the bronze medal.
  20. Well done to Middlo and the boys. Started terribly but battled back to prove most people wrong with a rostrum place. If they had started they could have won it. The gating was terrible from them for the first 10 heats. As for Louis, well the fans wanted him in and he disappointed. Perhaps Stead could have gated better? We will never know. But we need a load of Brits to come through and challenge the old guard. And soon. Still, got to be happy with third!
  21. Bad ref decision. But so what? The Brits benefitted and put us on the rostrum, and thats good enough for me!
  22. Simon Stead is not up to GP quality racing and was found out last night. He still has a few years left to improve a bit more but last night he was all over the place and found wanting. Louis seems to be a lot of peoples choice, and his current league form is good. Whether or not he has wha it takes to cut he mustard we will find out. Lets be honest enoough to say that of TeamGB manage to make it onto the podium tomorrow night, that must be seen a a huge victory.
  23. The track was a mess. Once the dampness had come out of it and it went all blue groove Team GB struggled. As this event is being held in the UK, the track should be setup to suit us Team GB boys. Get a load of dirt down and make it a bit grippy. It will be our chance to have some advantage.
