wjm Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 wjm You honestly think Scott Nicholls in that split second thought to himself...i know i will knock Chris Harris off....These Internet forums are great for results and stuff...but sometimes i wonder how long it will be before they are shut down with accusations flying around...pathetic jaybea <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have I said that or any thing like that ? since you are commenting on accusations.

Silver Bee Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 So his move was to intentionally knock his opponent of ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No his move was to end up second in that race, which he acheived. Had Harris held the bike and stayed on, which a lot of riders with different styles would have in the same situation, Nicholls would have moved him over perfectly. It was an error of judgement which the REFEREE didn't pick up on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I'v said it earlier on this thread and i'll say it again,IMHO what we saw on Saturday was 2 guys battleing for 1 last place on a track where the only place you could pass was up the inside,Scotty did hit Bomber,but i dont think he did it intentionally,if Scotty just followed home Bomber,then what was the point of racing,so IMHO hard racing YES,dirty NO. The Ref was a disgrace all night,i lost count of the number of rolling starts that should of been restarted. So technically the Ref was not doing his job properly,so he is also to blame. So to wrap all this up lets just hope that Nichol's and A N Other are not in a last heat decider for the WTC,after all,we would'nt want Scotty to try to hard,would we Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superguest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I think this is so funny Chris was very unlucky IMO. Scott rode exactly how he rides the league, very powerful and lots of elbows. I guess Chris has never been on the recieving end. Anyway, its Chris' problem now if he choses to hold a grudge against Scott it wont do him any favours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Bee Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Great point well put. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If the best you have is 'nicholls is dirty and desperate' I suggest you watch it again. It's nothing more than a racing incident that unbalances harris, many other riders would have stayed on in the same situation. I like them both but that's the way Britain needed the result if we wanted to see both of them next season in the GP's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Bee Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Nothing to do with it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do you think that Harris couldn't have stayed on in that race?

JIROUT Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Wjm Tell me what is exactly your thoughts on the race...because mine are that Nicholls tried to go through a gap that was not there....He knocked Harris off ...but was not excluded wrongly by the referee......But i see that sort of thing in every meeting i go to jaybea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIROUT Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Wjm So what do you suggest we do about it....Because in another context had Nicki P not speared Jagus in one of the GP'S there may not have been any need for the run off....So a irrisponsible ride from him cost Jagus his place...what shall we do about that...Its done.....it was a Nicholls mistake.....and maybe next time you meet him why dont you ask him about it and i think you will find he will say he was a lucky boy... jaybea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not wanting any thing done with it because nothing can be done with it , just doesn't say much for Nicholls that all he could do was knock his opponent of. Why would I ask him when I can post and bitch about it on a forum ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Only Harris video I could find where he hasnt won from the back <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, that was only because the race was stopped - he had, after all, passed Jonsson at the time of the incident. But they happened at different stages of the corner, when Harris was in a more stable situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
