I am am certainly not rubbishing any other rider just giving an opinion on Nicki.

3 times World Champion without fantastic racing manoeuvres that's not to shabby.Im not his biggest fan but it's all blown out of proportion regarding Nicki IMO .

If the weather is dodgy and they only run 10 Heats you have a chance .

Certainly is.He gets some harsh treatment on track but tends not to jump of the bike just stirs it up at end of race which adds to the atmosphere of the meeting.There are a few "Nicki Pedersen" moves by other riders which are ignored by officials IMO

Another update from Claus himself would make the picture clearer would it not?Not that anybody would want him back to early if he is not fit.

Not really interested whether that is the case or not,I am quoting regarding Cook as a guest.

Thats how I saw it,When the Monarchs were leading they were using all the grip round the outside.Grazonik when he gated flew round the outside.

Cook guesting is going to make it tough for the Bandits IMO.

I don't get this "the track was rubbish bit" Cook proved in ht13 that there were plenty of racing lines as he blocked every move of the Rebels pair..Somerset were just not good enough on the night.

And half his Team mates

They were just being sympathic to Havvy.

Yip.

Monarchs always make it look like that though you don't get the amount of away wins they do just because the Home team "doesn't turn up"they make them look ordinary IMO

Kelvin and Nigel are choking,well done to Edinburgh good win,Riss is class saw him score 1 point at Ashfield early but you could tell that he has what it takes ,a season at Armadale will do him the world of good.Roll on that all Scottish Final.

How do you that as a fact? He will have an average that suits guest bookings IMO.Just hope he doesn't come back too soon if he is not fit.

One of the problems being he rides foe several clubs here and abroad + guest bookings so that could mean losing a lot of potential earnings,like you say is there such at thing as a sensible speedway rider in that situation!!

Nope using it for Claus,Bens average dropped,think team re declared with the Swede replacing Ben.

My point is that it is too late for a lot of Promotions they have payed the price for trying to outdo each other rather than work together for the good of the sport.the money has ran out!! So Promoters are wanting out in a lot of cases.

Its easy to say that when it's not your money going down the tubes.

Would love to see a an Scottish Play off Final which I think is a distinct possibility.

It's a sad situation that that Semi Final of a major competition can't be contested with their own teams(injuries apart).

I agree regarding your summery of Speedway in UK.Realisation is finally dawning regarding the financial side of the sport.

The problem with Doyle turning left early was that Nicki was virtually 3/4 way past him ,he was not in front of Nicki.

Your not even at the right meeting!!!!!

It is up there with the best in the UK .IMO
