ouch

The problem with his last race wouldn’t have occurred if not for the first two dubious exclusions. If you’re only highlighting that race to suit you’re argument then it shows you really feel the same. You’re seriously suggesting that if Crump had gathered together 10 points, then finished second in a semi final and was lining up at tapes in the final he wouldn’t be “glad”? Crump has many times said in interviews how he is happy with his overall result, even when not winning a GP. You must have seen this?

He would have gladly taken second place in each of his races, if allowed to finish, and would only be unhappy about being second in the final.

Nobody can seriously say this ref was anything other than CRAP. We all know it anyway. The television proof was shown when he excluded Jonsson for tape touching when it was actually Lindback in an earlier GP. With this in mind he should not have even been in charge for this meeting. Most of the time it’s personnel opinion if a ref is right or wrong, but when you have indisputable proof he is incompetent then the authorities need to take action. For me he spoilt what could have been a good meeting. I’m sure he’ll get withdrawn from the referees rosta, but it’s a bit late now. On the Crump and Hancock topic. I saw him as being to far up on Hancocks back wheel to cut back, and if he had shut off, the bike would have lost speed, straightened and he would have hit the fence as he was only a few inches from it at the time. He tried to ride it out, and it was nobody’s fault that everyone had moved out and out leaving no room. All four back.

Great GP! Meeting held under the control of well known incompetent Marek Wojaczek, who continued to dumbfound everyone with his nonsensical decisions. The British riders flopped. The winner (and 2005 World Champion) snubs British speedway. Ditto the runner up. The Peoples Champion is wrongly excluded twice by the aforementioned referee and thus the series is now over. (I bet BSI are over the moon with the anticipated lost revenue and are working on next years scoring system as we speak). Great GP?????? Fireworks and crowd were good.

Average of two points a race in all the races that the ref wasn't involved. Bettered by only three other rides. 14 other GP riders would hope to achieve the same level of offthepaceness as Crumpy, I'd wager. Seems theres a load of deluded soles such as Crumpy, if reading the various forums is anything to go by.

That post is “class personified.” Second in the WORLD standing before and after Cardiff. Second best rider in the Elite league averages. I can think of over a hundred riders who would like to be “off the pace” like Crumpy is at present. Just to put you straight, Crump was angry with the ref, and deep down, angry with the ref.
