Nicholls was excluded because it was his fault!

 

He was nudging Hans and took him out as they entered the bend.

 

If he didnt have such a chip on his shoulder about Hans he could have tried to beat him fair and square rather than trying the 'hard man' route instead.

 

Serves him right!

You are joking, Nicholls rode a great race and it was Andersen leaning into Nicholls that caused his downfall. Which was the view of all studio experts as well.

 

2 for 1 at Specsavers at the moment ! you and the ref could have a pair each.

Nicholls was excluded because he nudged Andersen going into the bend. He even admitted so himself. And given the track conditions, it's hardly a surprise that Andersen fell is it?

Nicholls caused Andersen to fell. End of.

 

What's this? Andersen Vs Nicholls part 4, 5, 6?

 

:D

I think it is - regrettably - a case of Nicholls getting himself a Nicki P-Andersen reputation. Two incidents, one after the other, both involving one rider - Scott Nicholls. I don't think he did anything wrong, but I think an aggregate of events told against him. A lot of riders seem to be coming a cropper after tangling with Nicholls these days.

Scott was rightly excluded in my opinion, only problem was, it wasnt in the original staging of the semi. Seriously do refs forget these bikes dont have brakes? Nikki had no place to go but down, or cause a serious injury to himself and probably Scott.

 

Back to Hans, the man is just awesome, and Scott just cant handle that. Time to move on me thinks.

I just knew I would come on here and people would have another go at Hans. Scotty was riding hard all night and he touched Hans. Agreed Scotty has a problem with Hans and should get over it. Hans will be world champion Scotty never will while he has a chip on his shoulder.

Seems to me that Scott did indeed make contact with Hans on Turn 4 and the two of them were in contact all the way down the straight - but Hans didn't fall on Turn 4 or the straight - he baled off ( ie : did a 'Chris Harris' on Turn 1 when there was no contact.

 

' It's GP Speedway not Conference League you know ! '

 

Great to see AJ doing the biz at last !!! Go AJ !!

 

Cheers

It evens itself out over the season Nicolls was lucky the other week when he finished equal with Jonsson but got through on count back,the riders all rode well in bad conditions at the end of the day the best man won on the night thats the main thing.

as scottys no1 fan this is what i think

Strike one - Zagar / yes he was very lucky last week not to get excluded.

Strike two - Pedersen / why this is a strike ill never know. he never touched the little twirp

Strike three - Andersen / he showed great control to stay on his bike during the final. pitty the little Puff didnt show as much control during the semi. what was scott supposed to do when the gay boy was turning left into him. as scott said, the fairy bailed out again

should NOT HAVE BEEN OUT.  :angry:

Don't think Nicholls deserved to be excluded for Hans falling,(and I had money on Hans tonight), but then I thought there was a clearer case for exclusion for Pedersen going down. (and strictly IMO even clearer case for Crump being excluded earlier). All I'd say is when you set a precedent all evening of excluding the rider who has gone down it was a bit strange to take the opposite view in the Nicholls/Andersen incident.

 

Just shows how hard it is for referee to make the right decision, as opinion seems completely polarised on all these incidents.

 

At the end of the day it was probably best that AJ won, given many will consider that Hans was more than slightly fortunate to even be in the final.
