home straight Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Couldn't agree more. I like Andersen but everyone is raving about him after 2 GP's. He was left out of the series and had a massive point to prove at Parken. He's been given another chance tonight and is taking it with both hands but to say Crump is gratefu for Andersen not being in the series is utter tosh. Andersen wasn't a threat in 2003, 2004 or 2005 when JC finished 2nd, 1st and 2nd. Crump, on current form, is the best rider in the world and not even Hans Andersen would have stopped him gaining world title number 2. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I daresay you're right. If Andersen had been given a permanent wild card for this year he could well have been distinctly average in the GP's as he has been in the past. However I believe its the fact he was left out of the GP that has motivated him so much this year. Next years series could make very interesting viewing.

shazzybird Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) I am financially solid enough to take several weeks holiday in the summer. Off next weekend in fact. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Excellent..........room in the suitcase for a small one then Steve? Surely he has to get in the semis to make the final? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Even when he makes the Semis it's a wasted opportunity. It would be nice to have a Brit in the final at least once this year though wouldn't it Edited July 29, 2006 by shazzybird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Bee Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Going out on 9 points? I knew I should have bet credits on Hans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate paul Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Deary me, nightmare for Tonihno tonight. Good to see Scotty up there though, lets just hope he can go that extra step tonight. On a different tack, how much longer do we have to put up with Millards Mistakes? I used to find it quite amusing but now its getting to the point where it is ruining my enjoyment of the coverage. Come on Sky, do the right thing and move him onto something a bit less taxing. Like curling perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Shock decision by the ref. Nicholls obviously at fault. But he needs a second bite of the cherry as he cocked that heat right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate paul Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Ooff! As much as I hate to admit it, that was a dreadful decision! Scotty is a very lucky boy tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
home straight Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) Scotty a touch fortunate to not be excluded or did Zagar go down easily? A case could probably be made for either side.

Shortcrust Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Surely he has to get in the semis to make the final? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Surely as a professional he should set his sights on the final EVERY time. Get that bit into his head he might actually achieve something. After that little move on Matej though he deserves jack rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 A Poole fan agreeing with a Belle Vue fan.....miracles do happen <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Trouble for BV fans is that Crump is not likely to be at KL in 2007. Will they still be cheering him on when he rides for a rival team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin wood Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 I am financially solid enough to take several weeks holiday in the summer. Off next weekend in fact. All this talk about TRick not doing well this year. Where was Crump last year? Nowhere. When Crump becomes a 7 times world champion, I will class him a great rider. At the moment he is not even in the same ballpark as the legend. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Second in the world nowhere ? If thats the case your two favourites Bjarrne and Lindback are going nowhere fast.

Messrs Mole and Thomas would be crazy to even think about letting him go. If Crump doesn't ride for BV in 2007 it'll be because he's not riding in the Elite League.

shazzybird Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 They might not have any choice if he doesn't want to stay there unless he signed a contract to say otherwise he may well decide to make a move elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngy105 Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 wot was he to do then let him pass <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The only serious contender to JC was Hancock who Nicholls has just stopped from getting into the final....therefore possibly helping Crump extend his lead further.....therfore handing him the title. Simple eh??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Just got 50/1 on Scott on betfair! I'd take any rider at them odd once they've got to the final! C'mon Scott!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Bad luck Bjarne. Crumps dirty move by leaving no racing room will be remembered. If Bjarne had come off Crump would have been out on his ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
