My views on last night, was the riders did well to get this meeting finished. (1) Jason Crump's move on Antonio Lindbach; although no contact I did feel that Jason left him with nowhere to go, Jason very lucky to get away without exclusion,could have gone anyway, but I would have excluded Jason. (2) Scott Nicholls move on Nicki Pedersen; sorry Nicki no contact, and threw himself of the bike right decision. (3) Scott Nicholls move on Hans Anderssen; Hans leaning all over Scott on the bend, and then threw himself of the bike, to me Hans should have been excluded not Scott. The amateur dramatic's from Hans, are not funny, and I seem to remember him doing something similar in one of the Grand Prix's last year, I cannot say that he was one of my favourite riders before last night, but I don't like him much even more. Nicki is still as entertaining as ever, and really enjoy his racing and his interviews even when he is wrong. Scott proved last night that he has it in him to mix it with the best, and should finish in the top 8. Jason, is within touching distance of the title, and should be crown World Champ by the end of the neXt Grand Prix. And finally Well Done to AJ, this is a win that has been long overdue, and maybe he is the one to take over as Tony Rickardsson's Swedish number 1 slot.

Have to say for the first time that I was a bit disappointed with this issue, trouble is I cannot explain why, still not stop me buying the next issue though, prbably down to my own personal taste.

Sorry Jim, but I too find that your posting is very disrespectful, Boey has been a great servant to the sport, as a rider and team manager. He is blunt and straight to the point, but riders love him, and fans that have met or spoken to him will tell you he is great company.

I have no idea, I can only think that he thought he had no chance of racing so did not bother to go. Think Reg would have gone along with Ben Wilson.

As well as the article on Tommy, could you give us a sneaky preview as to wha telse we can expect in the next issue.

Good Luck to Ben Wilson.

Yes I was little disappointed that Bernie Persson did not enjoy his time at Sheffield, and I thought he did okay. I remember Dave Morton leaving Hackney and Sheffield wanting him then, but there was a 3 way swap mooted Dave Morton to Sheffield, Finn Thomsen to Hackney and Doug Wyer to Wolvehampton, no way were Sheffield going to let Doug Wyer go, so swap deal with Thomsen and Morton happened. Have to say what an excellent read, and looking forward to the next issue, wonder who will feautre in the next issue.

Where were they selling the book in Cardiff, I tried to get one in the stadium, but they did not have any that I could see.

What about the Late Chris Polka dot Pusey.

Me too.

If you click onto the backtrack info and subs then onto offers, you then click onto the Malcolm Simmons picture and it comes up with the forward from Malcolm himself, read through that it sounds sensational. From what I can make uot it is out sometime this month.

Just read the the forward for this book and it is explosive, and definately one that I plan to buy.

I cannot wait for this Simmo was certainly a character, I forward to seeing what he has to say.

Have too agree with Faster Gater, this is an excellent read, and I always look forward to the next issue after finishing my copy.

Emiliano Sanchez the Shefield rides internationally for Italy although he was born in Argentina, I beleive he has an Italian mother.

I believe that he had a garage in Sheffield I seem to remember.

Not to my knowledge.

Seem to a Rider who rode for Wolves Knud Ellegard.

Spelling not my strongest point.

Sam Niccholjensen.

Fleming Rassmussen rode for Sheffield in the 80's.

I think that this mag just gets better and better, already looking forward to the next issue.

Kyle Legualt's father is a former rider, Fred Legault not sure whether he rode in England though.

Mark Fiora, Brett Saunders, Troy Butler, Mick Poole, Jason Crump, Phil Crump, Neil Street, Robbie Foy, Steve Regling, John Boulger, Robbie Blackadder, Carl Shields, Ben Shields, Ron Henderson, Rob Dole, Gary Gugliemi, Billy Saunders, Tony Boyle, John Titman, Mick Farrell and Steve Koppe, just a few names to be going on with.

When at Sheffield Craig Pendlebury was Bernie's race partner, they appeared to team all the time, gaining 5-1 on numerous occasion's, the thing was that Bernie was a far better team rider than Craig, and there was a rumour, and I stress a rumour that Bernie had hold of Craig, and told him so. The following week, Bernie was no longer riding alongside Craig, that was given to Reg Wilson. Must say that although we only had Berine at the twlight of his career, you could still tell that he was a class act.
