The most worrying this is that some folk actually seem to truly believe that what Tai did provided him with an advantage. Try watching his 'starts'. I think there might have been one where he has actually made the jump first.. on two of them he is trailing halfway to the bend, but gets there first as he keeps the gas on and doesn't lift. Nothing whatsoever to do with any comedy gardening he was doing. As for the 4th start he was 3rd into the 1st corner anyway. He was providing the crowd with some entertainment, it's as simple as that.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo Next you'll be singing the praises of BSI

I must disagree. I think Quest are the best of the lot. It was their first GP and their coverage was magnificent. You'd think they would have been filming it for years!

Never mind, we can still see your comedy, keep them coming.

As someone mentioned earlier, if riders are doing practice starts etc, then it makes sense they should wear a helmet... if they are just trundling around on a parade lap, or bringing a bike to a rider, then I doubt it's necessary. At Wolverhampton, after the rider introductions, the riders then put on their helmets before doing a couple of laps of practice starts etc. That makes sense as some of them are also going into a skid on corners and there are a lot of riders on track.

Yes, damn right I would. Indeed he is already actively promoting and visiting many places and guess what? He is damn popular with children.

Keep on trolling lad. Incidentally, if it's reactions we are talking about, one of my posts on this thread has the biggest reaction of all.. It's even got a 'Popular' sign next to it because so many people liked it. Guess what, it doesn't agree with your inane ramblings. Maybe you'll need to block all those folk too, if indeed you have actually put anyone on block at all.

Apologies if posted twice, all these World Cup games, make you forgetful. Famous people are bashed mercilessly all the time by folk who are jealous. However, if we take your line of argument then Jim the Whipper must just be a nasty piece of work constantly slagging of someone who as you say, he has zero contact with. I agree, a lot of the Poole bashing does stem from jealousy of course. Not all of it, but a lot.

Really? It's a natural human trait to be jealous of success. The more successful someone is, the more they get people taking a pop at them and more often than not that comes from jealousy.

Have it your way, it means he's simply an abusive nasty piece of work then, i was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Aww diddums.... Tai keeps winning and Jim the Whipper doesn't like it. Keep the attacks on Tai coming if it makes you feel better, it won't stop Tai winning but it does provide the forum with some amusement.

Jealousy isn't a good trait you know. You are right in one thing though, he is Tai Woffinden. He's the World Speedway Champion. He is the leader of this seasons World Championship. He is the current and 2 time British Champion. He doesn't have a servant, he has someone he employs and pays to bring his bike to him. Jason Garrity also had a bike brought to him, how very dare he! Awwww.. poor boy. You can bleat and bleat and bleat all you like, it won't change a thing. Tai Woffinden is British Champion and for his fans every post you make about it makes it all the more sweeter . Keep them coming!

I think we're basically seeing speedway fans revealing their true colors. It doesn't matter what happens, all they want to do is moan.. and moan.. and moan. We hear whinging there are no characters, no incidents etc over and over... then as soon as we get someone show some character, provide some amusement many of the same folk are up in arms. The same can be applied to the GP with Pedersen/Zagar. As for the allegations that Tai took 'all' the dirt from the other gates.. hilarious if you believe that is the case. Do people really, truly believe that those two little shovels of dirt he collected from the pile of dirt under the fence (where incidentally Harris couldn't put his bike) made that much difference? Harris should have won by miles if that was the case with the amount of dirt he had available to him. Then we hear allegations of 'delaying the start'? How exactly was he doing that? The 2 minutes wasn't on, extra time was being given to the riders who had fallen to sort their equipment out. At least he was providing a bit of amusement for the crowd, or perhaps they'd prefer to just look at an empty track. As for the 'farce' of the re-runs.. again, such b****y moaning. I thought it was superb. Each re-run just added to the tension. We had riders who desperately wanted it and weren't going to budge an inch to achieve it (bar Harris) and that is the epitomy of sport. That will be why you are not a referee then isn't it.

Ah yes, Zagar is badly injured isn't he. Forgive me, but if someone approaches me, walking, and strikes me, I assume they're not particularly hurt at that point.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDhVCWiWCvs This idiot should be banned from speedway, what a dirty reckless move this was. Could have killed someone.

Zagar wasn't worth Nicki's time. Hardly a hard kick, more a "Go away you girl" I've got better things to do.

How many Wolves fans were actually calling for his head? Only ones I've seen are one who doesn't go anymore and another who wants 2 or 3 riders sacked before the season has even started every year. Skornicki last year for example. Then there is Gater1 who isn't a Wolves fan. I'd say some Wolves fans have been concerned over his form, as indeed Woffinden is himself. I have no doubt he will turn it round and if he does it should propel Wolves into the playoffs.

Conveniently missing out the fact that Zagar was the one who initiated the 'violence'. I think its safe to say that Zagar is 'ok' when he's trying to slap you. As for the crash, they were level down the straight, Nicki enters the turn with his front wheel over the white line, he couldn't go anywhere else. Zagar could. Zagar chose to try and block him.

Ah yes, those antics where he's in his own pit stall. Zagar is the one who struck out first, with a pathetic little slap. Then again in the pits another pathetic little slap. Pretty clear Zagar didn't really want any part of Pedersen. It was a racing incident, not a dirty move, Zagar couldn't handle it, he's the one who wasn't professional. Anyway it adds to the entertainment..

No it isn't. I doubt there are more than 1 or 2 races in an entire season of EL, PL and NL races that start 5 mins after the 2 mins is applied... if any at all.

Not got a problem either to be honest.

And if the starting marshal tries to get riders to come into line, you get riders like Iversen throw a strop and swing their wheel at them... then you get the fans moaning about the marshal! I agree completely with you by the way. Spot on. Amazes me to see people complaining about delays then advocating a return to the old starting system which took far longer to start a race.. and was much less fair.

It's not that difficult to avoid the result and watch it on Sunday morning if necessary.

The racing is so much better on Sunday mornings on Eurosport.
