AndyM Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Looks like Crumpie's got loads of speed, but his bike's not getting him out of the starts quickly enough, which is how he lost in heat 16. They showed him earlier with the back wheel spinning, scrabbling for grip. Needs a bit of adjustment to keep the torque flowing, by the looks of things.

Subedei Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Gollob out barring a miracle. He's actually making starts but going backwards. Just as well my other 50 credits were on Rickardsson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subedei Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 (edited) Well done Lindback!!!!! Made the final. Fantastic achievement. Can't really do anything but agree totally with that. Still, be a travesty if Rickardsson doesn't win it. Edited April 30, 2005 by Subedei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Did well after a learning experience in the second half, and came out well in the final. Congratulations to the lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 (edited) For all the Pedersen knocking, Crump just chopped off Lindback big time nearly bashing the youngster off in his panic for a rostrum place. Stilll well done Lindback, a novice compared to the rest and in a few years you will be at the top whilst others will have long gone. Today you came of age boy. Now all hail King Tony, the best speedway rider in the world by the proverbial mile. Edited April 30, 2005 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Well, if you want to be champ, you've got to be prepared to grapple with the meanest of speedway's mean. Pedersen was hard on Crump and in the final Crump was hard on the youngster Lindback. A fantastic, awe-inspiring performance by Tony Rickardsson. He won it. And the rest were nowhere.

Jason.C Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 (edited) Agree about the Crump + Lindback incident. Left no room at all for Lindback and nearly got put in the fence.But thats racing i guess.Still welldone to Lindback, a great official debut to the GP's. Welldone TRick also. Back to his best it seems. Edited April 30, 2005 by Jason.C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 And it was hard but fair. And Crump was by no means the only rider in the final to leave Lindback for roadkill. Rickardsson was as hard as Crump. But it's a learning curve for the young fellow. A tremendously impressive effort. He's a confidence rider and his good showing in his opening heat was probably the key to his performance. As for the British riders: it's going to be a long old season for the hapless duo. Andersen and Gollob will surely improve on their terrible displays, but you have to doubt whether Nicholls and Richardson will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 SS - "Hard but fair" - those were your words, I believe? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am not complaining on Crumps move, just the amount of fans on here who create merry hell when Pedersen did it to Crump, but if it was Pedersen making that move we would be up to 5 pages already. Crump did nothing illegal or he would have been out. Lindback is a novice with a hell of a lot to learn. His bikes were not fast enough, his experience short, but as far as I am concerned he was star of the show tonight. A fresh face is what is so desperately needed at the top, and although we can't expect him to do as well every GP, he made a big mark tonight, and it won't be the last time this year he will be in the final.
