Stop Slagging Nicki (kelvin Tatum)

[shazzybird]

Cliv Clav perhaps he gets a boost from being disliked. Not that, that is any excuse for him to be like it. When he is riding "cleanly" he's a very entertaining rider but without going over too much old ground here when he's "dirty" it puts a dampner on the meeting. Riding dirty and riding hard there is quite a difference between the two.

Personally, I believe that deliberately knocking other riders off is not fair.

so you honestly think that N Pedersen took out B Pedersen on purpose?

 

well i watched the tv the same as most people on here, and could see BP getting taken wide and leaving a gap ... due to being taken wide he then aimed himself to cut back in just at the same time NP came through.

 

watch the replays ... look at where BP is facing when he got hit.

 

it's called racing incident, and this happens with plenty of the riders out there.

 

if Nicholls had done the same on one of his bursts through, he would be classed as someone that didn't want to give up, and made a mistake.

 

He's just lucky that he's the age that he is and that he wasn't riding in the 70's else his comeuppance might have come sooner

but then if he was riding in the 70s don't you think he'd be able to dish it out as well?

if it was the 70s he wouldn't even have been excluded.

 

that was in the days where you would have a rider fall off in a World Final and still be laying on the track (with track staff round him) and the race would continue!

Not by someone in this house, he was called the british version of Nicki by someone here, and always has been I hasten to add.

although Pedersen has been world champion, and has a chance of doing it again

I am not one of these people who has a go at Nicki all the time but he went into that corner 'coach and horses' style and his jovial reaction after left no doubt as to what he was doing.

 

Luckily Bjarne wasn't injured although the move did cost my mate £35 as he had a tenner on TRick at 5/2 who was home and hosed until Nicki's 'here I come, ready or not' plunge.

 

Makes you think that they should be allowed to award races in GP's.

No wonder Bjarne came off if Nicki was riding a Coach with Horses!

 

Speedway gets more like Ben Hur every day!!!!

Quote from the Bournemouth Echo:

 

BJARNE Pedersen has absolved Nicki Pedersen of any blame over a racing incident in which the Pirate was knocked into the safety air fence in the final of the Swedish Grand Prix.

 

 

The Poole RIAS rider was sent sprawling into the balloon on the third bend by his Danish compatriot, who tried to dive under Bjarne into third place at Eskilstuna.

 

Nicki momentarily lost control of his bike as he powered into the corner on the inside, skittling Bjarne and his bike unceremoniously out of his way, and, despite not falling, was excluded as the prime cause of the stoppage.

 

Bjarne, who finished third in the re-run behind winner Jason Crump and Tony Rickardsson, also escaped injury, although his bike sustained a lot of damage in the crash on May 14.

 

He was quick, however, not to point the finger of blame at his Danish compatriot despite some scathing comments launched in Nicki's direction from Sky analyst and ex-Pirate Gary Havelock, who felt the former world champion had been totally out of order.

 

Bjarne said: "It was one of those things that happen in speedway. You have to give these races your best shot and we are all going for the big points. When it's like that, incidents will happen."

Due respect to Bjarne, good old Jan smoothed it all over, can't have bad feeling in the camp I guess

There again he could have been telling it how it was.

I understand that Nicki "momentarily lost control "in a Swedish league match last Tuesday, and stuffed Ryan Sullivan through the fence. Perhaps it's the Poole riders he does'nt like. The same as the Eastie supporters.

[Exiled Bandit]

On Monday night's Sky programme Jonathon Green claim that NP told him he just went for gap and when he got there there wasn't one

Made me chuckle, but I'm not Bjarne
