That semi showed why Leigh Adams will never be world champion . Great rider and all that , but he was far too tentative on that track .
I know the track was a disgrace and dangerous , but the likes of Gollob , Crump , Pedersen and Holta seemed to try and put the dangerousness of it out of their mind and attack the track . Adams almost looked as if he was tiptoeing round the bends . I actually thought his bike had packed in given the easy way he gave up that semi-final when a final place looked in the bag .
