  5. Your prediction will be wrong this time I am afraid. As for the incident(s) with Ryan, I obviously see it slightly different but no way did I "blatantly" take my team mate out, yes I will admit maybe I made an error of judgement by going out to the dirt which caused Ryan to run out of room but I was not intentional to cause anyone to fall it was just what I felt I needed to do to win the race. I have been on the other end of first corners like that at scunny, it's just the nature of the track. I am not happy or pleased Ryan has fallen and I will try my best next week to leave enough room but I have been scrapping for points myself, not riding great and when you ride like that you don't always see what is going on around you, everything seems a bit faster and mistakes can happen.

  6. Tony's ignition box was jezpol from Poland. Where I don't think the use of titanium should be allowed, as there was no need last year, I will not be using it. Ok, I understand I am not a top rider but I'm decent enough and the costs far outweigh the benifits. I may get proven totally wrong on the 1000m LongTrack but I think a good engine is a good engine. There is also the fact that there maybe lots of problems using the stuff, like not being able to cut valves. We compete in a dirty sport so how can you 100% say that no dust get in? Also and I cannot say about all con rods but what I've seen they use steel inserts and this could lead to other problems. I am sure top riders will try it, maybe keep it , maybe not but these riders would win anyway as they are the best
  7. can i just clear something up, it was 18 hours waiting to be transfered to a ward, myself and craig were both waiting to be seen and there was a bit of a que (something to do with shrewsbury a and e being closed) i was taken to a different department from craig as his injuries were worse, i then waited four hours to be seen and then another fourteen to be taken on to the ward. this is not a slight taken agaist the nurses or doctors as they were fantastic and as i said they proberbly saved my season or at least the first half. they kept saying sorry to me at the time but as i said if there is no beds there is nothing you can do. glad to hear craig has gone home, we were on the same ward as each other a turned out to be a nasty injury, hope he keeps his head up and is back in a few months
  8. first of all i want to say well done to bomber, can't think of any other rider i want to win as much as i do him, we were talking on the podium we been through the same kind of times and the way he pulled it around in last two seasons is amazing. thank you for all the kind messages, it meant so much to me last night because 12 months ago i found it hard to even get a second never mind in the british final and i still remember the way i felt last year and i still feel very grounded. i said all along my aim was top five because i wanted to get in the qualifiers so everything else was such a bonus, and i wasn't so happy because i was second i was happy because i'm going to the gp and who wouldn't want to ride in that? as for the home track advantage i'm not going to insult your intelligence by saying that there wasn't any because there is a little, but what i will say is that 90% of british riders love wolves and also the track was very different to normal, there was far more grip on the outside which in effect took away the passing lines that i normally use. also the way round wolves is no big hidden secret, its not like only we know about it, is it? Bomber has figured it out. i suppose i was in a no win situation, if i did well its home track, if i didn't i buckled under pressure, and let me tell you i nearly did!! people kept telling me your going to win etc etc and i started to think , what am i going to do if i don't?! then after my first ride i thought stop being an idiot and enjoy it. so now i'm going to enjoy the gp, i feel for ted because i know how i felt on the start line of the final and i'm sure he was the same, and if he beats me on wed will that be called hta? no it'll just mean he was better in that race just as my good race was last night, and as its been said his time will come, he is a great asset for our future, he's a full package, can trap, race and bloody fast!! just as crumpy said let him develop at his pace don't build him up and slam him back down again, wasn't it a few years ago he was written off? and to Philip addison thank you for that post it meant a lot and i'm pleased to say that myself and simon have well moved on from the u21 days theres a few thing i wish i could change and that is one of them. i'm sure i'll get slated from some parts for bits of this post but i just wanted put my side over and also to say thank you for all the great support last night it was amazing David
