M08 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 What a rubbish GP. The track didn't even look like a Speedway track. It looked like something a few hobos had put together with a bit of dirt. How many passes were there all night? About 5. Rubbish. And this is supposed to be the creme de la creme of Speedway? Naff off. I'll see 10 times better Speedway than that at Mildenhall tonorrow afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocha Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Would loved for jason to be world champ 2007 But nicky you have got him beat well done nicky <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Jason is a wonderful rider but in his heyday in the GPs he was often under the shadow of Tony Rickardsson. Now he is coming up against an even more determined opponent - Nicki Pedersen. Nicki, I believe is the natural successor to Trick and could become the most accomplished rider the world has seen.

scotty2hotty Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Quite a poor meeting in my opinion. Much prefer to see proper RACING on a proper track. Thought Crump did extremely well considering, bad luck to poor old AJ. Disappointing from Anderson, Harris, Hancock tonight. Pleased for Scott, thought he rode really well tonight, his gating was much better. Whatever has happened to the invincible Mr Gollob from last Saturday night. What a difference a week makes. Looks to me like his heart isn't in the GPs anymore. Biggest surprise of the night was Rune Holta, congrats to him on his first podium finish and of course to Jarek for his 2nd place. Nicki invincible tonight, fully deserved win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chippy01 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Probably the most entertaining GP ever being followed by probably the least entertaining GP ever. A dreadful advertisement for Speedway and an enormous disappointment after Cardiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackett Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 I had it on but was quite bored with the processional racing and most of the entertainment was provided by Hamill and ermolenko's expertise. Nikki Pedersen was just awesome , nobody could even get close to him .... he was streets ahead and never looked like getting headed. Crump considering his injury was excellent , how much pain must that guy of been in ... deserveda final spot just for sheer bloody mindness to race. Adams was disappointing and his poor SGP has handed the title to NPedersen IMO Hancock / Lindback neither looked fully fit and obviously suffering from there recent spills. Harris / Gollob both suffered with track conditions and a tack that had little near the fence both tried the outside line only to go into reverse. Nichollsdid excellent to reach the final and then did the normal cras first turn and start to waste his chances. andersen most disappointing not sure what the situation with HA was he just did not look on the pace whatsoever.

leanne1706 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Boring, boring, boring! I've just fast forwarded through most of that on the Sky+, otherwise I might have fallen asleep! Absolutely chuffed to pieces to see Nicki win with full points again - big congrats to my favourite hothead Dane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhidassa Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) Nicki brilliant as usual. Scotty rode really well, was unlucky in the final heat. Shame Bomber couldn't really get round much, and as for Crump - not a fan of the man but I was shouting for him tonight, to get to the semi's with a broken kneecap, well, you've got to respect him for that. (Possibly tell him he's a bloody fool too, but respect him nevertheless.) Hampel and Holta surprised me. I missed about 6 heats, but on the plus side, in watching from heat 11ish onwards, I've got 3 of my friends interested in speedway. Edit: Almost forgot, the track I wasnt impressed with, not enough grip round the outside IMO and far too bumpy. Poor ol' Andreas, you saw when he lost control it was the rut, he was just unfortunate. Could have happened to any, really. Another rider, cant remember which (I was drinking at the time ) did really well to stay on after getting caught in a rut, and not take anyone else out.

Chris Brown Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Think the Prague GP is getting a bit stale, could be time to move it for a year or two doubt it would be Pardubice due to the fianancial reasons. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But it would improve the racing immensely. As you say, it will never happen though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mateusz Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I put my bets on Hampel, Jagus, Nicholls and Crump. They all reached the semis, Jarek and Scott even reached the final but obviously Pedersen had to take all of my money Andreas has broken his shoulder, that's what first diagnosis says. Going to Sweden now where he's gonna have an operation.. Out for coming matches then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFE Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Posting this from Prague, and i can tell ýou everzone i spoke to thought it was dreadful, the track was awful, nothing reallz to do with the rain which was just an annoýance after such a lovelý week of weather = in short disgraceful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windsor Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 well from what i saw it was boring but then had to go hospital so sound like i didnt miss anything-got it on now and must admit im bored. well done to JC considering the injury he's carring (ive been there) every little rut would have sent a shock of pain right up his left leg. im not a scotty N fan buthe did better lastnight then all season in the GP's so maybe food poising is needed for some to improve and NP well he was on fire hes got this in the bag unless (touch wood) he has some really bad things happen (cant bring myself to say the inj.... word) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirelnutkins Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 To be honest, i thought the meeting was abit boring really too! Not sure why! There didn't seem an atmosphere there like in previous years! Or Maybe it was because i wasn't there, The Track seemed very dangerous! Sorry to see Poor old AJ getting injured again! Not his year in the GPs with crashing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I thought that was one of the worst GP's ever, the track was an absoloute disgrace, who ever prepared should be sacked. I dont think I saw one passing move in the first 12 heats other than a mistake because of the ruts. If Olsen thinks that sort of track is what is required he wants sacking. Truly dreadful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jasper Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Well done to Pedersen last he looked fantastic, Well done to Nicholls, Holta and Hampel to, I had sat there all night thinking NIcholls had rode very well on the line with the ruts and then it caught him out in the final. Kudos to Crump he did really well, a credit to himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
