World has gone mad....someone slags off your years work in the minibarrowboy tables and instead of kicking the bllix out of him you get upset at a jokey remark.Get a grip here

You can see the fun loving sensitive guy that Nicki is on the Discovery Channel http://www.bt.dk/film-og-tv/se-nicki-pedersen-fortaelle-om-livet-som-speedwaykoerer

Thought they cut the numbers due to costs,so i can't see them wanting to transport 23 riders equipment to NZ instead of 15 riders for a starter

Just a week ago on tv after the Berlin football derby a Union(ex East German team) player who was born a year after the Berlin wall fell said about Hertha(West Berlin) fans who were celebrating a win" „Die jubeln in unserem Stadion – das kotzt mich an! Das muss man erst mal verdauen. Mein Tor ist mir scheißegal. Wenn die Wessis in unserem Stadion jubeln, dann krieg‘ ich das Kotzen.“ You can translate that yourself,but the reaction from his manager?.He is Union through and through.That was probably a joke!!!! And this was not during,but after the match and just laughed off by the guy in charge.

Maybe because there isn't a point you are making.....if my Auntie had balls she would be my Uncle.....They might get taken over.....BP might want to sponsor speedway.....i might win the Euro lottery and end speedways problems tomorrow.......Lewis Bridger might one day as predicted be world champion......Muslim fundamentalists might bring down western europe and ban motorsports anyway.....

Exactly.We have a fast and dangerous sport that attracts finally a decent sponsor because of its image.Then we are being told we should be careful because mulit nationals are wary of dangerous sports.Well what is the answer to that one?????I doubt if the sport as it is is big enough to bypass the smaller cutting edge sponsors and go straight for multi nationals.So we have to keep on hoping more and more smaller cutting edge sponsors follow Monster.As it is speedway is a dangerous sport,nothing we can do about it,so if multi nationals don't like them a bit of swearing isn't going to make that much difference

Just another hypocrite who doesn't like fans being able to have their say,unless agreeing with his opinion.And the best bit is he spent soooo long slagging off anyone who hid behind an alias,and what does he do???????

There is alway going to be bias towards riders people like or know.For instance one ex rider who doesn't tend to criticise Nicki recently called another rider "pond life" for a "dirty" move.I see on the net another rider criticizing Nicki and saying Gollob never does things like that or look behind him.But i am sure we can all remember incidents when Tomasz has turned right on riders.One i seem to recall a few years back must have been in a GP just as he was entering the bend/end of straight.Might even have involved AJ,but i really don't remember.It is all in the eye of the beholder.I am a Nicki fan,but i think he lets himself down sometimes in interviews and i am suspicious of his "out of control" wheelies.But apart from that i do think he is just a hard rider,just like so many champ before and after.Gollob is just one

It would seem the obvious solution going by a large number on here,as those that have ridden a bike have far more knowledge than those that have not and i guess we should believe that they all therefore share the same opinion. Sky know Nickis track record and the fact that he tends to lose a sense of reality in the heat of the moment.They should share the responsibilty in any such moment.Can't just put a mic under his nose expecting such an outburst and then appologize for it.This sort of thing is always going to happen in such moments.This year i know one rider even threatened that he and his family would give a ref a doing over after a meeting.But i guess after 5 minutes or so he had calmed down and after the meeting the ref went into the pits and the rider and his family didn't say a word.This was in Ice Racing though and not in front of tv cameras and was laughed off by the ref,rather than reported or fines and bans being handed out

Amazing result.Not sure how anyone can doubt the Lambert's seem to have made the right choice for the lads progress.Just have to hope that he continues to make further progress as we so badly need a top rider

Wow!!! Max Dilger 14+2

Like others here ,i really enjoyed that one.As i said before,if that is what happens with dodgy silencers then please keep them!!!Not going to comment any more on the AJ/NP incident,but they know what they get when they stick a camera under Nicki's nose straight after such an incident.Have to say that Gollob was taking no prisoners in those last couple of heats.Charging under Lindbäck etc and then closing the door on Holder.If Chris hadn't have shut off then the same thing would have happened to him that happened to AJ imo.Good to hear that AJ is ok.And great to hear that young Robert Lambert finished 4th in a very good meeting yesterday.Our one real hope for the future???

Yup.Everyones opinion tends to be biased one way or the other by past Ha ha...you were the one that brought what others say about posts into this, not me.Nice try on turning the tables though LOL

You seemed to have trouble understanding And it isn't as if you or your posts haven't been criticised today either

Thought i spelt it out quite clearly,but you seem to have a bit of trouble understanding so....you said you believe riders over Bwitcher or presumably anyone who has a different view from you.But on pretty much every broadcast or interview riders don't always share the same opinion.So who do we beilieve?The rider that shares our opinion.I didn't say they were making your opinion up for you,just that you were picking people who share you view and say they are talking the truth.Maybe Bwitcher is or is not an ex rider.That makes no difference to you or me or if he turns out to be an ex rider will you then believe him?3 riders against 1 is hardly a consensus and hardly means they have never done something similar themselves.Ok maybe Louis never did....

Well he said Jonsson got caught up in Nicki's back wheel...didn't ee it quite so clear cut as some on here.When you get a few riders they generally have differing opinions.so your view that a riders opinion is better than someone elses.Which rider do you choose to believe.Simples.Down to which comes closest to your view,but that might not be right.

Stekkers????

Got caught behind Nicki's rear wheel.....

I would love it to happen.Would be there like a shot,whereas i can't see me ever going to Cardiff.But.......this has to be sold to non speedway fans in numbers to happen,imo.And for that to happen i think you need a homegrown rider who has a good personality and is in the elite in the GP series.At the moment i think the lack of British talent,the anonymity of the sport to the outside world and i also think in all honesty that the top riders being from Poland,Denmark,Sweden etc also makes it hard to sell.Not really in sporting terms sexy or exciting and Greg is getting on a bit even if he comes from one of the sexy countries.One of the few marketable riders is Antonio and although i remember seeing articles about him in papers it probably didn't attract many newcomers.I wonder about that....

I do believe that the minimax extrapolations predicted this though

I think Blazeaway knows it was on Twitter,but wanted to know who from so he could ascertain how credible it is.I mean if it was someone called Parsloes then i think we can ignore it

Yes,but you are the one taking the thread on a sidetrack saying there must be a supplementary reg and then going onto Polish play-offs when it has already been suggested this Svemo agreement has always been in place.But then again i thought there was always an FIM agreement that riders should be released a day before an FIM meeting that wasn't observed by one team this year.I seem to remember one rider having trouble with a PL team

If we are talking about a Svemo agreement then what is the purpose of mentioning Polish play-offs ???

In saying all of this i think we have to look back a few years and there was some controversy when Niels got a wildcard i think for the series and a number of people were saying it should have gone to someone else.The reason suggested to me was that Niels had a very good sponosr(Dansk Metal) and that was the deciding factor.So i guess he can't really be too upset at missing out on this one meeting.I hope he makes it through to the series next year.But it remains to be seen if he will do much better than his previous attempts.And i must make it clear i was and remain a fan of his and wanted him to stay in the series last time as i thought he was making slow progress

I'd agree with all of that,apart from wishing Liglad a mare
