diamondgem Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I think the commentators think it's 'hard but fair' if it's anyone else but 'dirty riding' if it's Nicki Pedersen. Tony's move on 1st bend with Lindback was exactly the same as Nicki's move on Crump. New GP, same old bias. Well done to Trick, deserved his win, Lindback also excellent tonight.

Subedei Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 His bikes were not fast enough, his experience short, but as far as I am concerned he was star of the show tonight. No, sorry Steve. There was only one star of the show tonight and that was Rickardsson. I'll agree that Lindback was fantastic, but you've got to bow before Rickardsson. Tonight was his night and no one else's.

Steve Shovlar Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 No, sorry Steve. There was only one star of the show tonight and that was Rickardsson.

Tonight was his night and no one else's. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As a huge TRick fan I have opened a bottle of Krug here with the wife to celebrate Tonys win. The man is back, in stunning form and leaving everyone else to be scrapping over second place in 2005. The Krug tastes wonderful. Well done King Tony Rickardsson!

thehammer Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Just one word for Tricky.............. Awesome!!!!! - Well done you deserved it. Whether he gated or came from behind he looked on top form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 The last few years the Polish GP tracks have been crap, very slick, nothing like they use to be a few years ago with loads of dirt on the outside that Gollob and others could blast round the outside.

Steve Shovlar Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I agree Rob. There was nothing for the riders in the early heats, though conditions did improve slightly. Made Poole look like a deep deep track.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritPete Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 A breathtaking performance by THE man, surely the greatest of them all, and in my view, he does not even need a 6th win to prove it, he has won 5 genuine world individual titles, and at no time did he have to rely on anothers misfortune.

Mark Evans Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Star of the show was Lindback. He will make a worthy World Champion in 07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPR Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 who gets a max 15 point in a gp he surly must be the man to beat this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Long way to go yet, and lots of different tracks. The new formula is much fairer and more likely to deliver the best verdict, though I'd still prefer to do away with the semis and final myself.

panthers Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 got to agree with evo limback was good tonight. But richardson was man tonight he look so good .I felt sorry for limback in the final on last lap with crump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOTSHOT Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Well done to Trick, deserved his win. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Understatement of the speedway season. I had Antonio on an eachway bet, gutted. Would have got away with it if it wasn't for that pesky Crump Tony Sr. and Tony Jr. both amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 But richardson was man tonight he look so good . Personally, I thought Richardson was pretty dreadful tonight. Got no where near a semi-final place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanzilla Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 TRick was awsome tonight and fully deserved his victory. Lindback deserved a podium place for his efforts tonight. Can Antonio handle pressure??......I think he answered that question emphatically tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Lanzilla, what pressure? Did anyone expect him to do well? He was under no pressure tonight whatsoever. He rode fantastically well and deserved his place in the final. But he wasn't under pressure. On the basis of this performance the pressure will be on in the next grand prix.

Being touted in the build up as the next big thing and getting more media attention than most, means he was under no pressure???.......Don't make me laugh Subzero!!

Subedei Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Subzero was - of course - a charcter in the Arnie film "Running Man". And no, he wasn't under any pressure. No one really expected him to come 4th. He could just go out there and ride. If he did well, great. But if he didn't, no harm. As I said, lets see how he goes in the 2nd grand prix. Expectations - not least from himself - will be higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
