Steve Shovlar Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I thought that todays GP was very good overall. A shame for Leigh Adams and Crump couldn't have any more luck. At least justice was done and he didn't win it!! Lets hope the remaining GPs are that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 and Rickardsson keeps losing ..... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not likely. At least he stayed still at the gate, unlike the ginger whinger. Crump won't have that luck again and will miss a few finals. TRick is unlikely to. Well done to NP on this win. He rode well to get it, from the back as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) Star man for me, Tomasz Gollob! Not exactly his old self and exciting us but still not exactly boring. So pleased to see him doing well again and his interview afterwards, you could tell he was happy. The Nicki vs Crumpy clash in the final was intresting, Crump rolling and taking the lead, Nicki riding a superb 2nd bend/back straight to take the lead. Crumpy really throwing everything he had at Nicki, very harsh, almost dirty but fair play to Nicki he didn't seem to mind. Favourite bit however was when they water the track, upsetting Mr GP Speedway, Ole Olsen!! HaHaHaHa!! Crumpy may have got lucky in the semi but how often he has been the unlucky on to stop? About time he had some good luck in a GP! Edited April 22, 2006 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
home straight Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 That was a really good meeting, some excellent racing, definately worth watching the video back tomorrow. Love him or hate him, when Nicki P is on form you can't help but admire what he can do on a speedway bike, he didn't do anything stupid tonight, just rode very fast.

Matt Davis Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 HAHAHAHAHAHA What happened to Tonys "Rocket Ships"?! I shall have an extra beer tonight on Tonys failure to come anywhere better than fourth in the final Poor Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortcrust Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Fantastic!!! Couldn't be a better start to the GP season for me. My two faves coming 1st and 2nd and my least favourite bottling it in the final. Well done Nicki P..... thoroughly deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 He has big luck every year SCB. More than his fair share. He won a GP last year when TRick was well clear, and NP piled into BP. The ref should have called it back. Huge rolling start from Crump.

Iffoid Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Gutted for Leigh. But a very exciting meeting right down to the last race. Must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the result in the final - well done Nicki! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ha en bra födelsedag Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) ...crumps had more than his fair share of bad luck! Absolutely gutted for Leigh. Well done Nicki...a very exciting final. Not to sure on some of the filming though! Bring on Wroclaw!

Trees Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) Bloody unlucky for Leigh .......... grrrrrrrrrrrr and then for Pedersen to win it, worst scenario for me ..... lol Congratulations to the little squirt, he stuck the pressure from Crump well but always had that little more speed. As for Crumpy being dirty, I think not SCB, did he slam his machine into Pedersen, of course he didn't, he was very controlled, just trying to get the advantage over Nicki. A good all round GP, keep on watering the tracks you guys, dismiss what Ole might say, what does he know anyway .......... I so hope they don't take any notice of him at Bydgoszcz!!!!!!!!! He has big luck every year SCB. More than his fair share. He won a GP last year when TRick was well clear, and NP piled into BP. The ref should have called it back. Huge rolling start from Crump.

I said, "almost dirty". Crumpy was very close to the line but I will admit I was shouting at the tele for Crumpy to send Nicki wide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I thought it was a very entertaining meeting, and luckily no crashes or injuries. Hampel was useless, confirming my thoughts that he is not good enough. Should be riding in the UK. Serve him right for doing so poorly. Hancock was woeful after a decent first ride. His days are over as a GP star, and he won't qualify for next year. Gollob rode very well and deserved third place. Glad to see him have a proper go. Iversen was out of his depth. Should not be in the gP's. Bring back Andersen for the next one. Adams should have been in the final. Rotten luck. Crump was just plain lucky. Should never have been in the final. His luck will change and he woill fall away in a few GPs. Protasiewicz was useless and looked uninterested. Shouldn't be there. Ferjan did beter than expected but really did nothing. Lindback was probably the most exciting rider on show. Brilliant and thrilling passes. Richardson did better than expected and perhaps should have made the semis. Silly dropped points. Rickardsson was the best rider on show, along with NP. Missed the gate in the final. Jonsson faded in the meeting after a decent start. Bit non discript. B Pedersen was awful. Should have done far better. Looks like my bet has been blown already! Zagar used his home track knowledge to do good. Can't see him keeping it up for the rest of the series. N Pedersen rode hard but fair and deserved his win tonight. If that Pedersen turned up every week he would be a popular guy. Nicholls rode well but was passed quite a lot. Made the final though. Overall a very entertaining meeting, with the gauntlet being thrown down by N Pedersen. Crump flattered to decieve, Gollob rode well and TRick was there in the final as per usual, as he will be throughout this season. Bring on the next one!

Ride badly come 2nd imagine he rode well? Agreed. So rode well, come 4th, imagine he had rode as badly as Crumpy, he'd have been one of the first into the showers!
