Congratulations TNT and thanks for all your effort in putting it all together. The one that got away for me as I tossed a coin between Jonsson and Gollob for the last round - if only eh!!

One big difference - the guy on the floor got up and won.

Another Mr Magoo!!Holder ran wide you say - very interesting view considering his front wheel was on the grass going into the corner!

Nice night at the pub Mr S? Hope you found a friend or three to celebrate with.

Anybody got any tumbleweed? Urgently needed for this thread!!

Never been a rule - its one of those urban myth thingies!! The 30 yard marker I believe relates to receiving assistance after the start. Im sure someone with a rulebook can clarify!

Congratulations Chris .

Exactly - if you shut off the stops spinning and you straighten up.

I agree - it was his best hope to pinch the title so you cant blame him for trying.Though I would say fotunately his plan didnt work out!!

Google/Youtube Mr Magoo and you will see what I mean!A light hearted tongue in cheek dig by the way. Just because 95% call it one way doesnt mean theyre right . Certainly agree to disagree - thats part of what this forum is about. So long as it is a genuine opinion and not just an inflammatory wind up then everyones entitled.

Cornishman - AKA Mr Magoo!!

Granted he made a marginally better start but not good enough to move over to the curb as he tried to.A bike isnt 6 inches long!

Just looked at it again - try it fot yourself. Freeze it at the point where they just start to turn and Nickis front wheel is inches from the curb and Holder forced onto the grass. Tell me how much of Holders front wheel can you see? You can see half of it!! Nicki was not in front!!

And he would have been wrong!

I think you have a different idea of being ahead to mine.

They were side by side and Nicki went for the curb and hit Holder!

Totally agree - Nicki shouldve gone!!

Nicki tried to put him on the centre green!!

Great decision?

Well done Chris Harris - if that means Nicki fails to become World Champ then Harris deserves a wildcard for next year just for that!!

Surely a Poole fan wiil offer the great Shovlar a comfy armchair and a cold beer?? After all he is universally loved - isnt he??

Edinburgh fans on this forum are like hens teeth so it seemedpretty pointless!! That said Tully and Wethers were good value. Gathercole was better than expected. Sneddon and Pjiper both disappointing but two that could redeem themselves in the return and make life difficult for the Witches. Bekker picked up his points by staying on when others couldnt! A good trait to have! Tabaka struggled (understandably)on his first visit and given a nasty tumble. Hope that satisfies the Monarchs fan.

Next excuse lined up - dehydration!

I think the riders misheard the team talk - they thought they heard "this is the place to take a dive" rather than "this place is a bit of a dive"

The Witches always in control but also just looking like they could throw it all away at any moment!! Got to be happy with a 20 point lead but it could have been 30. It would take some kind of disaster to lose it from here. A number of riders struggled on the apex of turns 1&2 - right about where the raker chooses to scrape great clumps of shale off his boots!!
