lupus Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Honestly, do you remember Gollob causing anyone's fall in recent years..? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah but you see it's okay to be biased against a rider for a reputation (however old that may be) UNLESS it's Nicki Pedersen!

Guest Schumi Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I never said Pedersen did it deliberately, I said he was out of control again which he was. He went over the inside line trying to go through a gap that wasn't there, and then lifted and was out of control and t-boned Jagus. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But if he'd made it stick it would have been a different story. Same with Harris on Monday - there was no room on the outside, but he pulled it off and everyone said what a great move it was. Lupus - if he was "out of control" he wasn't responsible for his actions - it was beyond his (or anyone else's) control. These things happen.

lupus Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) But he was out of control because he was reckless in trying to make a pass that was dodgy at least! Nicki always reminds of the old joke about mothers-in-law and driving.....they've never had an accident but they've seen hundreds!!!!!!

Bartolus Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 It's true that it was unfortunate accident but N. Pedersen just don't know when he should stop and in makes him ....hm maybe brainless would be a good world here. I don't wish anyone an injury but some minor one could be a factor that will make him to consider him track behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I'm by no means Nicki's greatest fan but I think people are being a bit hard on him here. These are GP's and the racing is cut throat stuff! Accidents will happen. If he had cut up the inside cleanly and won the race (which could easily have happened) then we would all be saying what a fine ride it was. The margins are like fag papers at this level.

Guest Schumi Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Show me where I said Harris WASN'T reckless? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didn't say you personally did, just comparing the two. If Nicki had made the move no-one would have said anything. As it is he didn't so it's carte blanche to have a customary dig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupus Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) No it would still have been reckless - however it would have been reckless and lucky (that no-one got hurt) as opposed to just plain reckless!

I think we will have to agree to disagree lupus Can't beleive I am defending Nicki P Edited May 26, 2007 by Bagpuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbin' Along Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Felt desperately sorry for Jagus. Perhaps, and it's a big perhaps, if Nicki P rode with more control in the first place, such "racing incidents" wouldn't happen so often? It's a thought.... I would not be at all suprised to see yet another rider take the next two weeks off omestic raising, yet be strangely fit for the next GP. Radical I know - but you heard it here first.

superjoe Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) Nasty accident but as harsh as it is if there was the slightest chance Jagus suffered concussion he had to be withdrawn. Edited May 26, 2007 by superjoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy moore Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Definately keep an eye on Jagus in the future his odds will go out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Wieslaw has very much impressed me in this season's GP's - so surely it's time for a Promoter in this country to get him over here to race? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He has been approached/asked to sign for a British team since he was 25 and has never shown an interest in riding in this country, especially with so many different race nights. Typical out of control Pedersen again causing another pileup, was very similar to what he did to Simon Stead at Belle Vue a few weeks ago when Stead went over the fence.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wolves fan - Speedway Fan - Not a Nicki fan However much I feel for Wieslaw, you cant blame Nicki's riding for this one, it was a racing accident and this happens at times which are just a part of the sport.

London Witch Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Nasty looking crash but definitely a racing incident with no malice from Nicki in my opinion. We thought Bjarne was very lucky to come away, hopefully, unscathed. Imagine Crump and Bjarne both being injured!! As said before Jagus had to be withdrawn with concussion whereas it was Nickis own decision to ride through the pain barrier. Lets hope all 3 riders plus Crump don't have serious injuries and aren't too bruised and battered in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupus Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) How can you NOT blame Nicki's riding for the crash? He went underneath a guy riding ON the white line and clipped the kerb.....or did his bike do this all on it's own?! HE and he alone made the decision to try a manouvre that was reckless and unfortuantly for Jagus and Bjarne, they took the brunt of HIS move! I am certainly not saying his intention was to deliberatly injure the other riders - however to say he was not to blame is wrong!

Happens at least 15 times a match at Peterboro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
