I don't think it's just a matter of TRick "dialling" (whatever that means) his bikes in to each track, I think the fact he's running away with it this year is a lot to do with confidence. It dosen't matter who Sky interview, most of the riders don't come across as being 100% focussed, & they certainly don't seem to have the killer instinct or Rickardsson.
I think Nicki P is the only other rider who does have the killer instinct & because he tries a bit too hard & gets into a few scrapes he gets slated for it, but you have to give him full marks for effort.
I think the other reason Rickardsson is running away with it this year is because he's got supreme confidence in both his bikes & his ability. I think 99% of his opponents are beaten before the tapes have risen (assuming they do rise that is). Good luck to him, he's a fantastic rider & worthy champion, but it has made this years GP series predictable & boring.
Apologies for rambling, I only got up for a quick slash.
Steve, please don't think my post is sour grapes. I honestly think TRick is the best rider by far, but I'm a massivespeedway fan & even though tonight produced some fantastic racing I've now totally lost interest in this years world championship because it's all done & dusted at the halfway stage. I love speedway & I've been looking forward to tonights meeting all day, but I've lost interest now & really can't be bothered if I watch the rest of the GP's or not.
Good racing tonight, but does anyone else agree that this years GP series is the most boring yet. From now on it's a formality & we already know who the winner of this years world championship is......yaaaawwwwnnnnn.
What a fantastic GP, I've just took the dog out for a walk, called in on my mum, nipped to the local for a couple of pints, mowed the lawn, read the latest Nuts magazine, cracked one out, nipped to the Chinky takeaway, & I haven't missed one single race.
Just had to turn the bass down on my cinema surround system after my neighbour complained that Havelock's mumbling rattled a glass off his coffee table.
