from what i can understand, Stekkers rented the tracks in question, although i could be wrong, but then if they can do it, why can't 'team' GB?

I thought this one had already been discussed and it's because of the lack of monies coming from the ACU why TeamGB don't have this luxury?

And the excuses start - it's never that he's just not good enough on the night, is it? There's always a ready made list of excuses to be trotted out to excuse another dismal failure from the former British champion.

Anyway, another sizzling performance from the great man to take his eleventh GP win, which is eleven more than the former British champion has and will probably ever have.

Only just read this after the site crashing.

Funny though :unsure: I'm sure my meaning was that Scott was a failure on the night & i'm not dishing out any excuses he was very poor.

......and here's me thinking that commending your "guru" Gollob would please you :blink: Oh well!

I'm a bit late but..

TOMEK GOLLOB TOMEK!!! :D

 

There were better GPs in Bydg before but TG's action in the final was a masterpiece.

I know I should grow up but it was so exciting to light a flare when he was finishing first :D Just a priceless feeling you wait a whole long year for.

 

Had a bl00dy good time this year, from Friday afternoon till Sunday morning. Was a pleasure to spend it with some of you.

 

Will upload some cool vids from the backstraight hell later on :D

But for me Nicki Pedersen was the best rider on the night - despite the Gollob magic - because he's done it throughout the season

You've lost me completely with this one, Mr Clemens. :unsure:

 

Surely the "best rider on the night" accolade is precisely that? It has nothing at all to do with the rest of the season... :blink:

(...)Perhaps that plane crash has turned some sort of light on inside his mind that has told him that he can be world champion - for once you have had that kind of brush with death - some people are freed from a lot of negative inhibitions that previously chained them down (...)

 

What Tomasz Gollob said at the press conference immediately after his 6th Bydgoszcz win on Saturday.

 

"I am very happy.

Bydgoszcz is my home, where I feel at my best. To win at Bydgoszcz means a lot to me as well as to my fans. I tried my best not to disappoint them, although pressure put on me to win was enormous. In the end I have satisfaction that I did not let them down.

 

The record of 6 wins is impressive, but I am not stopping at that. I want to race for some years to come, and who knows, we might have more nights like yesterday.

 

I dedicate my Bydgoszcz win to all those who wish me well and believe in me. Most of all to my wife, Brigida, and daughter, Victoria, Also to my father, who supported me today from the stand. I wish to point out that if it were not for him and his cool nerves during that plane crash, I would not be here. This win is also for all Polish fans. I am glad that in the end we could sing our national anthem, together!

 

The 6th win at Bydgoszcz renewed my spirit and desire to reach for a medal. I’ve made good the losses from the previous rounds and I know that I stand a good chance for the third place overall. One could say that after mistakes, misunderstandings and that plane crash earlier on, I am now on the straight and narrow. I hope to keep the momentum going for at least another month, so in the end I can recover what I lost earlier. Together with my team I am looking forward to Krsko and Gelsenkirchen. After all the hard work together we deserve this win at Bydgoszcz and I am sure we will celebrate some more".

Nicki Pedersen is becoming a credit to the sport and long may he continue to do so

 

What Nicki Pedersen said at the press conference immediately after the Bydgoszcz GP.

 

"The most important thing for me was to get to the final. I reached this goal, so I am happy with my performance. Of course I would be even happier if I had won (smile). But everybody knows how difficult it is to beat Tomasz Gollob in his own backyard. I did that last year, but as they say, nothing happens twice (smile)

 

I was convinced that in the final Tomasz would try on the outside. I heard him coming and I was ready for him. I did not expect, however, that he would try to squeeze in on the inside. This put me off. I lost my rhythm and not only the lead but also the second place. I have no grudge. Gollob rode hard but fair. It was the final and the stakes were high. I’m glad though that after all that I stood on the rostrum. If I am in the final, the least I want is third place. I would have been very disappointed to be fourth.

 

I’ve increased my lead over Leigh Adams, but there won’t be any relaxation in the last two events at Krsko and Gelsenkirchen. It is a sport, and who knows what will happen next. So in the last two events I will do my best, in the same spirit as in the previous nine".

And once again young Gollob illustrates his unmatched, unadulterated and untainted genius - I repeat, there's more talent in a clipping off his little fingernail than the former British champion has in his whole being. The untalented are always caught out by Bydgoszcz.

Ya not wrong :D

For Bydgoszcz I thought this was a pretty poor GP.  This track is widely regarded as the best in the world, with multiple racing lines, so it was very disappointing to see riders in the main sticking, pretty much to one line.  It seemed that unless you were Gollob, moving of the line meant you went backwards.

 

As for the Brits, I thought Bomber gave a good account of himself on his first visit to Bydgoszcz.  Not an easy track to visit for the first time and yet he still went into his last ride with an outside chance of making the semis.  Who would have thought this would have been the case at the start of the season?

 

Nicholls looked slow (as he has done in many GP's this year).  Not an excuse but a fact.  Why this should be the case, given his GP experience, is beyond me.  We had Havelock on Sky saying they were struggling for a set-up.  Is it me, or does it seem that in most GP's we hear the Nicholls camp saying they are struggling for a set-up?

 

So overall, a disappointing night.

 

 

Maybe Scott needs to ditch the GM engine and switch back to JAWA??

Why?

The top three in the standings all on GMs. Leigh Adams having his best GP season after switching from Jawa to GMs. Tomasz Gollob even ditching his faithful Bydgoszcz Jawa last Saturday.

He'd be better off ditching Havelock, if you ask me.
