I got my mum, my brother and his mate to sit and watch it and that takes some doing!! Though half they time they were laughing at Nigel Pearson! They all seemed to enjoy watching it though
About the rory debate (if you can call it that!), if you were all standing near each other shouldn't you have had this discussion at the meeting rather than on a forum and subjecting everyone else to read it. And there is no point putting anyone on ignore before someone says it as you all quote each other!!
BFD, I see 3/5 of the Aussies every week, so if I think they are arrogant I will say so. If they weren't arrogant they defintely thought it was gonna be easy and got scared when they realised it wouldn't be a walk in the park.
All this bickering about rory is silly, I doubt anyone would cheer after he crashed.
Oh for goodness sake, yes bomber should have been excluded as there was contact. Ref made the correct decision, not so sure about the nicki one though...
Emils manager doesn't seem to think so going by the echo in the bournemouth echo today:
EMIL Sayfutdinov’s camp have defended their decision to lend Hans Andersen a bike for the latter stages of the British Grand Prix, claiming it helped the Russian hang on to second spot overall.
Sky commentator and former world number three Kelvin Tatum admitted “it’s quite staggering to me” when he saw television pictures of the teenager’s mechanics working on a bike for Poole Castle Cover’s star.
Loaning bikes among team-mates is common practice in league racing, but is rare in the white hot cauldron of individual World Championship racing, although not against the rules.
So there was some surprise when Andersen hopped on Sayfutdinov’s bike for the semi-final after his own machine’s engine had “slowly seized” during his fifth qualifying outing.
The Russian’s manager Tomasz Suskiewicz said: “I think it’s alright to loan a bike.
“Hans has the same engine tuner as Emil. He’s a good friend so that’s why we helped him. I’m sure he’ll help us back when we need it.
“It was no problem. We even helped him to do a handlebar change and other smaller adjustments.
“He liked that engine. It was working really well for him. We’re delighted he got third because he helped us in the final by beating Greg Hancock.
“It means we’re still second overall behind Jason Crump.”
Suskiewicz said Sayfutdinov had been fined $600US and Scott Nicholls $500US by an FIM Jury for their parts in an ugly on-track punch-up at Cardiff.
