After 25 heats the biggest surprise is the fact that Nigel Pearson hasn't mentioned the Speedway Star magazine once. He really is there only as proof that Tony Millard is the best commentator Sky have. As for Ermolenko, well he is so pro Nicki Pedersen tonight you can almost hear him gathering twigs to build a nest in the studio so he can have NP's babies. Sadly I promised to give £1 to charity for every time Ermolenko said "buddy" tonight, so I'll have to sack one of the servants on Monday.
I have to admit that I've been wrong about Nicki P so far. I can't believe the way the dirty bas***d threw himself onto Grump's boot, he really should have been excluded.
Well done to Loram for completing his two rides, he makes you proud to be British.Sophie: " Bad luck Mark, talk us through what happened". Mark: " Yeh ya know, I was a bit constipated this morning, & the track is a bit oval, but I gave it my best shot".
Did anyone else notice how Hans Anderson deliberately slowed down in the last race to give the other three riders a chance to catch up? I think we should all throw a breeze block at him for being so fast.
Sadly you wont be hearing from me for a while as I'm going to spend a couple of months in my Spanish apartment. Bad luck.
Oh & the track was rubbishe tonight.
