BurningRubber Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Top class performance from Hans Anderson who managed to make me scoop £45 after I placed £5 at 9/1. Makes up from the last GP in Cardiff when I had my money on Greg Hancock until he failed at the second attempt in the Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Am I putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 but could this dip in Gollob's form have anything to do with his brother being dropped from their Polish team, as Gollob isn't riding very well there either. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, I think you've got an answer of 5 there.

philcrumpisgod Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Ridiculous, both times Crump was well in front looking straight forwards, they were trying to go round the outside through a gap that wasn't there. Crump probably didn't even know they were there. They should of shut off, like Crump had to when he got squeezed out by Lindback. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Spot on Rob, I was going to post the same but you beat me to it. Congratulations to Hans, well done to Jason on extending his lead and also a commendable effort by Tony to get his bike off the track quickly after his fall. Speaking of Tony, it is sad to see a great champion like him seemingly going through the motions. Before the season started it was understandable that he would want to try and beat Mauger's 6 titles and set himself apart with 7, but it all seems to have gone to pot for him. Bottom line, he is a great champion, arguably the greatest ever, but I can't understand why he is continuing to go down without a fight. Some might say he is getting his comuppence (?) for treating the Elite League as an early season sharpener, maybe so, but I think it is a shame to see him ride like an also ran. If his heart really isn't in it perhaps it would be better if he called it a day now so that he can be best remembered as a truly great champion rather than as having had a stinker of a last season. Just my thoughts, others might disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) Totally agree with you about Tony - he might as not be there in the races now. Not the way I'd wish to remember him. Think the fact he is already racing the Porsche series or whatever says more about it - his heart isn't in it and his commitment is now in that discipline.

Squirelnutkins Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I thought some of crumps riding tonight was bordering on dangerous rather than fair.He stuffed both pedersens down the back straight a couple of times <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agree with you there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Brilliant from Hans. I don't care who wins the overall this year because I know whos the best in the world. Don't think I'll get to sleep now, I'm too excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line, he is a great champion, arguably the greatest ever <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If the Gp series had been around in Mauger's time he would have had another 5/6 titles to win to catch him. Great Champion yes the greatest ever no way. A true champion wins it over 5 rides on one night, not a series of meetings that you dont even have to win.

barrow boy Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Why? Sorry to disagree with the majority but all politics aside he was eliminated last year because he was crap. Fair enough he is doing a lot better this year and therefore if he is good enough, and I believe he is, he wil qualify on merit. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But he finished ahead of Lee Richardson and he was invited back in. That's the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrow boy Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Did they interview Leigh 3 times? I thought the last two were repeats. To be fair, Leigh was unbeaten up to his last race. Did anyone notice, by the way, that despite Leigh being the meeting leader at the time of his last race, Tony Millard didn't mention the fact that he was in last place at all during the entire race? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bo he didn't but he said "Disappointing" at least a hundred times. Well it seemed like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrow boy Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I said the very same to my missus, not that she wsa taking much notice Thing is I don't know what Greg was getting at, I didn't see any contact between the two. I've always liked Greg and seen him as one of the 'good guys' so I hope he doesn't resort to any kind of Nicki style revenge tactics monday night. Having said that, Bjarne will be so far ahead of him he won't have a chance <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He sure took retribution on Niki P once didn't he?

richsimpson Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Did anyone notice the lack of the countdown clock at Parken last night? I did not spot it at all and did notice a chap who appeared to have got the new job of 'Showing a piece of paper with 10 seconds to go on it' Did any one else see this?

Derwent Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Did they interview Leigh 3 times? I thought the last two were repeats. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why does he always refer to himself as "we" ? Watch his interviews and he never says "I'm aiming for the semi's" etc it's always "we're aiming for the semi's" ! Very annoying ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
