Steve Shovlar Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Well something happened to Andersen in the final, not sure if it was EF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Of course it's fixed!! The terms "bums on seats" and "box office takings" spring to mind here....... Although, I do think that Lindback deserves his shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Two more Pirates in the GP series! Well done to Tom Chrzanowski for qualifying to the GP series!!! Another fantastic night for Poole fans. Shame about Floppy though. Looks like we can all cheer Andersens demise, though he certainly deserved to go through, whether or not we like the guy or his antics.

Dave the Mic Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 What a facial end to the meeting. Andersen and Lindback should be the two that go through, end of story. It should be about what the riders do over the meeting, not a last ditch effort from riders that have been well beaten during the 20 heats. A rider on 8 points can qualify over a rider on 12 or 14. Where's the justice in that? Lindback has been brilliant and would be a fantastic rider to grace the GP stage. The GP needs the Lindbacks more than they need more PKs back again, and that's not meant as disrespect to a very good rider. Just hope lady luck shines on the Brazilian wonder boy. Steve, you are right in some ways of course, but the fact is those are the rules & the riders knew them before they started. In fairness, it's the same in the GP itself. A rider can win just one race all night & still take the 25 pts on offer, yet another rider could ride unbeaten all evening & miss the start in the final & finish last. Right or wrong, that's the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave the Mic Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Looks like we can all cheer Andersens demise Arguably he deserved to go through, but I suspect ther won't be too many people in the UK shedding tears over his non-qualification.

rabbit Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 (edited) Hans had a bit of a paddy on the centre green when his bike packed up according to the updates on the Poole site. Regardless of what he has or hasn't done...his points he scored should have seen him through. Very unlucky to lose out to an engine failure. Well done Antonio...would have been a travesty if he'd not got through after scoring so well all night. Commiserations to Floppy, how cool would it have been if he could have got through. As for Chrzanowski...that is a shock!! Edited August 14, 2004 by rabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 This is where I disagree with this format. The highest scoring rider (love him/hate him/loathe him) who has been consistent goes out on the result of one heat. Surely that can't be truly reflective of the riders ability? Just a kick in the teeth for his mechanics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 I said earlier this season that Lindback would take the GP series by storm, and I stick to that. There are many people on here not rating the lad but he proved tonight he can take the pressure and win when it matters. I said two years from now he will be challenging for the title, and I stick to that. The lad has pure class written all over him, and he is a very nice guy to boot. WELL DONE TONINIO!

crazysue Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 (edited) Yes, we mustn't forget to say well done to the 2 who did go through for next years GP......Antonio must be well chuffed, he really has taken the speedway world by storm in such a short time, and now with Chrzanowski, I've got another name to try and learn to say (only just sussed out Pepe's),.

If thats the case,sounds like justice of the greatest kind.Well done to Lindback and Chrzanowski on their qualification. I think Lindback especially will grace the GP's with his exciting style next year.Shame it wasn't on Sky for us all to enjoy. Oh btw does anyone know who the ref was ?

Dave the Mic Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Certainly Lindback's presence will add to the GP series, he is a quality rider & should do well. Chzranowski, whilst earning his place on merit (regardless of whether anyone likes the rules or not - they ARE the same for all riders) could be another in the line of those riders who have just made up the numbers in the past & may not exactly set the series alight, but I guess we shall have to wait & see. Anyway, congratulations to both men, they will doubtless be well pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanzilla Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Fantastic news for Antonio and Tomasz. Seems like Andersen got his just deserts tonight and was a victim of the type of treatment he has been dishing out to others at times this season. Chrzanowski is one of the form Poles this season and it is no surprise to me that he qualified for next seasons' GP series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
