605ts Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) You make a lovely couple <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why thank you! I understand its only the second GP. I thought Crump would win tonight as he has broken the track record twice at Wroclaw this season. He has had a blistering start to the season and if he keeps it up it will take an amazing rider to catch him, saying that in all fairness Rickardsson is one of the best if not the best rider ever to jump on a speedway bike.

BritPete Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Surely it's time for Olsen to go. It was generally agreed by the riders tonight that the track was nice and grippy at the practise, so why was it so slick for the actual meeting? It's a nonsense, the meeting was crap. There was a certain amount of overtaking, but it reached nothing like the potential that this track has. Ole, go away, your time is up!

shazzybird Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 saying that in all fairness Rickardsson is one of the best if not the best rider ever to jump on a speedway bike. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I wish he'd done something to prove that tonight, I had to console a 9 year old after each race Not easy when you're not a TRick fan was even cheering on Grumpy tonight for what reason I don't know, had a weak moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) I think TR had one or two "blonde" moments tonight. Is it just me, or is he taking "blonde" to extremes in terms of his hair? I blame Matt Ford. Edited May 6, 2006 by Subedei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz W Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 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. Zagar used his home track knowledge to do good. Can't see him keeping it up for the rest of the series. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just some random remarks i've found, made after the Slovenian GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Addison Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 The first GP in Slovenia was a great advert for the sport.Tonight was the opposite and fuel for the people that put speedway down saying ' first out the gate wins ' Most of the dirt seemed to be in a 12 inch deep slope stuck up to the air fence which you could see in Nicki Pedersen's fall. I found the whole thing boring. Oh and the sight of Olsen waving his clipboard at Gollob to hurry up and make his gate choice. What a prat. I'd love to have seen someone shove that clipboard up his jacksie. At least that would have livened procedings up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Just some random remarks i've found, made after the Slovenian GP ... Is that all? I'm sure you could find plenty more if you tried. Pretty boring G.P., apart from the last few races. Shame the chap across the road to me, who is not a speedway fan, decided to go because he enjoyed Cardiff so much last year.

Rob B Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Gaz you didn't quote the ones from before the GP series of Bjarne Pedersen being in the top 3 and Lindback being in the top 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Yeah, the track was a disgrace again, what is that man thinking, every year you hear riders complain that it's totally different from practice, so whats the point in having a practice for goodness sake (being polite here). A few good races late on livened up an otherwise dull meeting. Well done crumpy, he maximised on the downfall of his competitors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirelnutkins Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Thought tonights meeting was very entertaining! TRicky obviously was still suffering from having the Flu! Want to say well done to Reading guys Matej and Greg for getting in the final and on the rostrum! Nicki did well considering he had only had an operation recently! Scars looked dreadful Bring on the next GP! Think you'll see TRicky back to his old self by then! NEVER count him out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananas Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 well he will just say that Hancock, Crump, N Pedersen, Zagar, Hampel, Adams, Gollob, and Nicholls were all lucky to be there in the semi.personally, i'd just say that Rickardsson was crap. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep me too!!!!!!!! Well done Jase, keep it up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I notice that Tony Rickardsson is having his now regular day off after a GP - Nicholls replacing him in the Unia Tarnow line-up. I've a feeling this will do still further harm to Rickardsson's chances in the GP. He's showing little or no respect to the leagues and it is now affecting his GP form, in my opinion.

Chris Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 (edited) Track was completely olsen'd and was shocking. No dirt, but a fine powder. Pretty turgid stuff and was struggling to stay interested after the first few heats. We have the worlds best on view and Olsen serves them that to ride on. Wish someone would have taken that clipboard off him and smashed it over the wallys head. Rickardsson didn't look right at all. Something wrong there, but blaming his performance because of flu is bullsh*t. Nicholls has a huge mental problem and until he gets over it is never going to progress into the top level. He just doesn't believe he is good enough when it comes to the crunch races. You can predict before the semi he will not go through. He doesn't have the belief, which means he rides poorly and his gating in the big races is quite frankly appalling. The less said about Richardson the better. He doesn't belong at this level. Time to give other Brits ago. With not being able to watch many of the GP's, due to Rye at home on same night I was hoping to be entertained by the worlds best, but the Danish wally spoilt the whole meeting. Easy World title unfortunatly for the Ginger whinger. Edited May 7, 2006 by Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarabanko Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Easily sorted - just mess around with the signposts when you see Olsen coming and direct him to Orebro instead of Eskilstuna. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the tip Sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleco Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 For those who have doubt in Žagar"s talent....he prove that he can not only ride well in Krško! He still need experiences but for his age briliant. We are the champions!!!!! And still to come..... Crump- strong i think the man to beat this year! Trick- he didn"t said the last world yet!

Great anticipation for the British fans as he sits at the tapes in the semi and then he forgets what you do as the tapes rise Edited May 7, 2006 by Rigsby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateusz Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 (edited) Just come back home.. This GP isn't worth a long comment. It was as boring as my train journey back to home... Oh God, I'm out of competition because of Gollob and Niki <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was bound to happen sooner or later..

It was as boring as my train journey back to home... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree. The most entertaining thing on display last night were the Reading adverts, complete with slobbering bulldogs!! Good move by the Reading promotion, though, having Hancock and Zagar on the rostrum will have done them no harm either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
