FAST GATER

Great to see Doyle and Bart shake hands as were after the race .

It has struck me Tai has now become the new Hancock but without his grit , until the end of his career Greg never needed a "wild card"to be in the GP'S if my memory is correct .

I just feel his time in the GP's is possible over seems to be on the deck all the time now and involved in most of the incidents that happen .

May I ask why ?

Think Bart might lose the lead after tonight not one of his favourite tracks ,to get into the semi's will be a result IMO .

Just wonder if Chris Harris has tipped into that steady slide of being being a "has been" no where near the rider he was even last season !

Amost all Bart races are worth watching !

I have always liked him think he fast and a great passer

NKI is a shadow of the rider he was perhaps time to give it best !

Don't think anything spooks Bart !

Got her "strides" on now though looks a bit parky there !

Isn't she supposed to be wearing trouser and Doc Martins shame on her !!!!

Spot on !

So Holder's robust action is to be admired but Bart 's is unacceptable !

For all Holder's efforts Bart still ended up about 300mm away from winning the final !

This maybe the case IMO it is not down to the other rider's fear but due to the fact he is at the top of his game and in a real purple patch ,all the great riders have these periods .Bart great skill is the speed he generates on the bike as to racing room I think that is something he creates himself and in most cases affords his fellow riders . With regards to "fear factor" that is Doyle's stock- in- trade he has used throughout his entire career ,the school bully ended up on his bum last night rightly or wrongly !

This track and next one are not great for Bart but after Prague he should be able kick on then !

Can't agree about Bart just marvel at his skill and speed always feel Doyle is just a bully !

We must be watching different rider Bart is already one of the greatest riders this sport has seen !

Can't agree Bart is reckless but spot on about him being genius on a bike Doyle has been reckless for most of his career IMO

Me too

Maybe because Fricke was passed by one of the greatest riders the sport has ever seen !

From talking to older riders one of the main problems with full face helmets was misting/steaming up ,also having enough tear offs they also used it those days what we called "flickers".These held one or two pieces of plastic lense that flicked up level with the helmet peak, one other big factor was being filled in( they rode on wet tracks in the past) you can't get the goggles out of the F/F helmet but could pull the mask down.

IMO this is his time I think that unless he is injured he will be the one to beat for few years to come Doyle fell off trying to stop him and paid the price ,to beat Bart most riders have to go beyound their comfort zone this was a perfect example .

Spotted Speedy Pete Jarman !
