Who was the bloke with the Chris Harriss(sic) for prime minister flag and was it meant to be spelt incorrectly?

Why should Hancock, or any other rider be pleased that Harris won, it means that they didnt win. I would be bitter too if someone just passed me on the last bend of a gp to take the win. Think people make too much of riders getting along and shaking hands etc, at the end of the day they are there to win, Hancock was in fact quite magnanimous in defeat. Another thing that annoys me is how Commentators and pundits always try and get other riders to praise the brits during interviews ( and team GB during the world cup) but thats another point for another time

Nasty accident but as harsh as it is if there was the slightest chance Jagus suffered concussion he had to be withdrawn.

TBH I cannot blame Nichollls for accepting the widcard, more money, sponsorship and such, the problem is BSI. to quote Garth from Wayne's World "they fear change", I believe automatic qualification should be limited to to 4, 6 at a push, the next 4 then seeded into the qualififcation semis. The problem is there just arent enough riders to compete with the likes of Crump, Hancock, Pedersen etc.

ah the way ypu posted it it looked as if you meant he beat them in the meeting i.e when he met them, all got a bit confusing there for a moment

he did beat sullivan 7: Hans Andersen, Simon Stead, Ryan Sullivan, David Howe also he beat protasiewicz edit:reply to scb

thats got to be worth a couple of quid surely!

Nicholls

Isnt it amzing how people only see what they want to see. As someone said elswhere you can never win an argument, or even have an unbiased argument on here

would you agree that hans was only slightly in front because Nicholls is virtually dragging him along due to the fact that hans is sprawled across Nicholls much in the same way that the Hans groupies would like to sprawled across hans? ( not picking an argument just want to know your opinion, and also not accusing you of being a hans groupie )

they were side by side going into the bend, if anything nicholls was in front, the nature of speedway is to slide the bike so the back wheel is going to come out, with hans leaning all over nicholls the only way hans could have avoided being touched by nicholls back wheel is if nicholls didnt turn. Nicholls had the line going into the bend, hans had to concede the bend or risk falling off and being excluded (although not in this case obviously) that said hans did go down ridiculously easily

really? take off the andersen tinted spectacles for everyones sake The Hans groupies come up trumps once again

apart from today when he pulled off a superb ride to go under Andersen, before somehow being excluded and the last GP when he beat hans in the final of course Scott was in the gap despite andersens best attempts to ride horizontally acoss the straight, which I am not complaining about, just hard racing however Scott had the line going into the bend, what was he supposed to do?not turn? refs seem to have no real clue when it comes to passing up the inside. Just ask oxford fans about the eriksson/morris incident at bv earlier in the year

all the best riders do bert, although it is not as noticeable in all of them, Andersen is arrogant, Crump is arrogant, Nicki Pedersen is arrogant, they are top class speedway riders and they know it. They need that arrogance to succeed. Look at richardson he has very little self belief and as a result will never become a serious world title contender.

good call, thats the only thing that annoyed me about Louis last night. Brought in for his gating skills on a track it was said to be paramount and 5 starts and last into 5 first bends, thats not including re runs.
