King Jamie Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 serious attitude fault from my former sailing partner last night. if he really had a problem with Hans N A's riding, why did he speak to the ref instead of his track rival?

Mr. Clemens Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Not too bad a meeting Nicki was great both on and off the track- especially his comic turn with the waste of space polish ref - Nicki was grinning from ear to ear with his tongue in cheek remarks And his 24 point lead rubber stamps his credentials for becoming 2007 world champ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 As I said to someone earlier, it's all part of the show with Nicki. You can love him or hate him, but don't complain that he's got passion, because that's what makes him so damned exciting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Spot on. What do people expect, Nicki just to roll over and not try to get back in. It was all he could try and if the ref had been favourable well great for Nicki. It is the World Championship afterall and this is the first incident that anybody could even question as he has been so far ahead of everyone else. Star turn our Nicki and a true world champ. Did I miss Lupus's post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shazzybird Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 The phone call was priceless though " Did you see what Hans just did to me there " LMFAO . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was the "Dirty Riding" comment that did it for me Think the boy needs glasses and maybe a slap Will still win championship with ease so no need for the moaning as pixie boy wont catch him Well hopefully NOT. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How much you got on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Well done Leigh - he certainly turned it around in the semis and final and looked (what he is) a class act. Brilliant to see Gollob taking GPs seriously again - or was it the engines? Crump nearly there again. But what is it about Danish riders? Back in 1981 at Hackney, Finn Thomsen rode Billy Sanders into and through the 1st bend fence - after - a heat because Sanders had finished in front of him. Apparently it went back to comments that Sanders made about Thomsen 'buying' points in a WC round. This effectively finished Sanders' season. There is no place in speedway for riders riding into fellow riders at any time but particularly - after - a heat has finished to show their displeasure at anything that has gone on. That is just an immature, cheap shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nazza Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 didnt scotty nicholls do it to hans andersen last year You have to remember that it is a competition where only the best riders compete and nicki was probably annoyed that lindgren smacked into him when he was winning the race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 didnt scotty nicholls do it to hans andersen last year <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, I do remember Hans turning left on Scotty all the way down the home straight though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I do sympathise with Nicki on this actually. Not so much with Andersen taking him wide, because Nicki would have done the same and he still had just enough room to stay on. Where I feel he had a case was with the clutch lever. If you watch the replay you can see Hans' right leg lift up over Nicki's handlebars and knock the clutch lever in, which would have made him lose power. Nicki said about this on the phone, but it hasn't been brought up at all in the analysis by anyone on the TV. Even so, he was never going to get Hans excluded. I was watching Hans last night, and his leg does that even when he's out on his own, so I don't think it was deliberate, but it still happened.
