Grand Prix Speedway In Finland 2014-2016
Ghostwalker replied to f-s-p's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I'd reckon it will be Timo Lahti or maybe Kalle Katajisto. At least one of those would be my choice. But obviously allot can happen during the more then 19-20-21 months or so to go to the gp. -

ullevi have on year reaming on their contract. Problem with Målilla is the isolated location and lack of "facillities" nearby. Good racing but not so much else. I also think that Gotevent can give IMG better offers then Målilla. Add to that a few thousand more in the crowd... -

Here's a link to the article: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aamulehti.fi%2FEtusivu -
you know there IS a world outside GB. MJJ has a slightly lower average then Tai in the EL so what? I would be surprised if it wasn't like that since Tai have a much higher experience from the Elite league tracks compared to MJJ, especilly when you compare home tracks. However MJJ have better averages in Sweden and Poland. MJJ is within the top in Sweden when it comes to averages. Tai is only 28th. MJJ is 22nd in Poland, Tai is 33rd.

I agree with you Iris. Sure, MJJ didn't do to well in the GP Challenge, however he had just won his first GP so Its not to hard to understand if he gad problems refocusing. MJJ also have ridden very well during the entire season so I would also pick him before Tai.

Referee Just Bottled Semi Decision
Ghostwalker replied to TheReturn's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
That is exactly what happened. The referee had to make a decision and he made the decision that is not in the rule book. By not excluding Holder, the referee gave Holder an advantage by giving him a second chance. Holder was off a better gate then Nicki and Holder made a better start the second time. 2. Please show me where in the rules it says that the referee can allow all 4 back. The referee job is to exclude the causing of the stoppage in this case Holder who made a worse start then Nicki. Holder then first pushed Nicki out, then lost control, then slamming into Nicki again while still being out of control. Holder is clearly the rider at fault. -

No it wasn't since one rider should have been excluded and thus interfered with the other riders chances of winning the title. What you are saying is that if two riders are fighting for the championship and the one leading violates the rules, he should not be excluded? Had it only been the first incident, ok then all 4 back could possible have worked but it with the second incident as well, where Chris were out of control and slammed into to Nicki that really should have resulted in an exclusion for Holder. But it was. Red rider knocking off Blue rider = red rider excluded unless, red rider leads the championship. -

Why didn't Holder pass the riders in front of him when he was being third then? First bend bunching is not riding into someone twice while being out of control. If you start at red gate and miss the start, you will have to accept that if the rider at blue gate make a better start he/she will be ahead of you at the first bend and that you cannot ride through him. Nicki blocked Chris at the corner since its Nicki's fully right to do so. That doesn't that Holder should be allowed to knock Nicki off. Holder had the choice to ease off the throttle a bit but didn't and it should have resulted in an exclusion. -

Some say that the referee didn't want to "put himself on the centre". The thing is that he had to make a call and thus him being the centre was ineviteble. Imo the referee made a mistake and this decision put him just as much in the centre as if he would have excludrd Holder. What's also unquestionable is that Nicki made a better start then Chris AND that Chris rode into Nicki twice. If a rider does that he certainly have earned himself an exclusion. If a rider is behind and delibrety rides into another rider, like chris did yesterday, he should be awarded with an exclusion. I also think that the all4restart need to be removed. -

Why lay the bike down if the person that you want to win over is behind you? -

I agree with this, I don't mind CH as champion just the way the referee helped him on the way. -
WE HAVE watched the replies but its still Holder who failes to gate and hits Nicki twice, causing him to fall. Holder caused the stoppage and should be x'd. No doubt what so ever.

yeah why would anyone leading a heat wanting the heat stopped? Would be pretty stupid really. -

Well as long as they stay at the riders pit area no problem but perhaps only allow one mechanic at the track entrance. -

Nicki made a better start then Holder and Holder couldn't accept and and striked Nicki, CH wasn't particular much in control either. You know when someone outgates you, you have to accept that and don't try to ride through them. NP outgated Holder so Nicki was fully entitled to take the inside line. Why should he, who did the better gate, move aisde and let CH past? -

Put it from another view. What had Chris A done if Nicki had striked Holder? Nicki's light would have been lit before Holder had hit the ground. -

You know there is this thing called throttle, if CH just lets it back a bit , he wouldn't have striked Nicki. Nobody forced Chris to keep on steamin' behind Nicki, -

Nicki was ahead and Holder hit him twice. Not allowed. Biased referee. -

Gutted for Nicki, he makes a better start, can get in infront of Holdr who rams Nicki twice and gets away with it. I guess Holder is allowed to do that but not Nicki. -
I think we need to change that for next year then.
