Papa Bazarou Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 taken from Nicki's website Nicki opens 2008 with splendid victory 09-03-2008 With a perfect seasonopener by winning Pooles Diamond Jubilee, Nicki showed that he is in perfect form for the 2008-season. - Unless my first heat, I felt very good. There were some hard battles, but I think my very good starters meant the difference today, Nicki says. Right before the final, where Nicki beat Andreas Jonsson, Scott Nicholls and Leigh Adams, the four racers decided to split the 60.000 GBP into four equal portions. - I think it was the right decission to make. Now everybody are happy, Nicki says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Fair play to the guy. In fact to all of them. And it was a damn good final race to boot - Nicki was deserved winner but the other three you could throw a blanket over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now everybody are happy, Nicki says It doesn't suprise me in the slightest. Before the final the riders must have thought they have a 25% chance of winning it. Or, they could all have £15,000 each guarenteed. I know which one I would take. Still, history says N Pedersen won the £60,000 and he has the cheque!

Barney Rabbit Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Crap. If there were tapes at the 15 metre mark,where Crump was,he would have broken them long before Bjarne moved. Get it now? Matter of opinion really. Normally, when all four riders are at the tapes and one jumps the start and goes through the tapes any of the other three can re-act and go because of him. In that case, the start-jumper is the cause and should be penalised. In this case Bjarne touched the tapes without knowing what was happening behind him so Crump can't be blamed for Pedersen's tape-touching. The tapes were down, he touched them unprovoked if you like. As I said, a matter of interpretation and I believe, whether you do or not, in the instance you describe, the ref was right to penalise Bjarne. The joke was allowing Crump a further bite of the cherry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 NO I think you are missing the point. Crump touched the tapes. Excuded moved back 15 metres. Rerun. Green light on. Crump moved by at least half a bike. THEN Bjarne touched the tapes. Crump should have been out for being the first to move. In stead he excluded both. Crump off 25mtres, Bjarne of 15. End of their chances. But really Bjarne should NOT have been excluded because Crump moved first. Hope that's clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) Schumi is right, not surprisingly. And stevebrum is wrong, again, not surprisingly. In your opinion. Which im not particularly interested in. But you're wrong. How can you and RobB claim to know Nicki Pedersen better than he does himself, and why can you not try and give a reasoned debate to prove your point (as I have) if you truly believe you're right, instead of resorting to insults? That's the first I was aware of being repetitive. Im not wrong at all. its called an OPINION. The guy has been asking for mega money from ALL the countries he races in. Either HE or his management are asking, which they are entitled to do. Im not saying i have all the facts, who does, however im quoting what has been generally understood. I believe (my opinion) is that he believed a club would use him in particular Eastbourne and he seemingly has no interest in riding for his parent club. If he wants to limit his options then there is no use bemoaning the fact you haven't got a British club! There are MANY reasoned stevebrum posts should you wish to look , however if you only pick up on the limiting posts then that is your perogative. Ive debated this many times anyway so unless you havent read my posts on it before then your behind the times. (like you schumi i TOO can debate) By the way if you want to get into reasoned debates and not accuse someone of resorting to insults how about you practise what you preach? might just be a start. As being repetitive as you claimed your not - i was only stating that you had said that you will say it as often as you like (for my behalf i believe??!!) Unless im wrong, if you keep repeating things to make a point i reckon you can call that repetitive. Now, back to the reasoned debate you wanted schumi?

Guest Schumi Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) Im not wrong at all. its called an OPINION. You've been given the facts, yet your opinion is they're wrong? Are you saying Nicki and Martin Hagon are lying? You're keen to deal with facts when it comes to other topics, yet being presented with them here you choose to argue? The guy has been asking for mega money from ALL the countries he races in. No, wrong. There was a rumour about what he was asking for in Poland, he asked for a rise in Sweden (quite right too - he's world champion) yet no-one can answer the question I keep asking - what did he ask for to ride here? No-one knows. Did anyone even enquire? Im not saying i have all the facts, who does, however im quoting what has been generally understood. I've posted the facts. I believe (my opinion) is that he believed a club would use him in particular Eastbourne and he seemingly has no interest in riding for his parent club. Is that surprising after what the Wolves fans have said about him? There are MANY reasoned stevebrum posts should you wish to look , however if you only pick up on the limiting posts then that is your perogative. Yes, I know, and I have agreed with you in the past. By the way if you want to get into reasoned debates and not accuse someone of resorting to insults how about you practise what you preach? might just be a start. Show me where I've insulted you. Unless im wrong, if you keep repeating things to make a point i reckon you can call that repetitive. You ARE wrong!

BjarneRubble Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) Quite disappointed with the turn-out, given how much Poole had promoted this meeting (something I think they deserve great praise for). There was only 1 row of people stood around the third/fourth bend. I've been to Poole (for a crucial Poole v Oxford league match) where it's been packed around there. I would say today's crowd was somewhere around 3000-3500 as a very rough guess. Really it should have been a capacity 6000 crowd. All the best Rob Where I stood on the 4th Bend there were people standing four or five deep Rob. Looking to my left, following the bend round to the third, it didn't seem any different? I'd say about 5,000 spectators there today. Certainly many more than for a league meeting, which generally captures an audience of 3000- 3500 people. Very impressed with both Nicki P and Andreas Johnsson. Holder was exceptional and the Russian lad looked very smooth and fast all day. He's definately one for the future. Hope Matt had a pen and contract ready for him at the end of the meeting! Edited March 10, 2008 by BjarneRubble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 it was good to see scott do so well in the meeting, hopefully he rides like that in the gp's. maybe he could have an off-day on good friday though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) You've been given the facts, yet your opinion is they're wrong? Are you saying Nicki and Martin Hagon are lying? You're keen to deal with facts when it comes to other topics, yet being presented with them here you choose to argue? What FACTS are you giving me? Like you say unless your NP you cant possibly know what is truth or not. Im not saying anyone is lying - im JUST saying there may or may not be more to it. No, wrong. There was a rumour about what he was asking for in Poland, he asked for a rise in Sweden (quite right too - he's world champion) yet no-one can answer the question I keep asking - what did he ask for to ride here? No-one knows. Did anyone even enquire? So not strictly wrong. if he is asking for increase in wages and lets say the club cannot afford it who is right and who is wrong?? As for what he asked for here. only 2 (or 3) people would know that NP, his management and Chris Van Stratten. If you want facts im sure CVS may enlighten us on Wednesday night at the forum. I think its fairly clear that by the time Eastbourne had decided not to use him and averages were announced it made it very diificult to fit him in . As he has stated he only wanted to ride for Eastbourne and they decided not to use him , again who was right and who was wrong? I've posted the facts. Is that surprising after what the Wolves fans have said about him? Its something he hasnt heard at ANY track in the country. I believe its deeper than that as he allegedly said end of last year at Eastbourne. Support works both way . Right or wrong? Yes, I know, and I have agreed with you in the past. And i you. Show me where I've insulted you. likewise show me were ive insulted you! You ARE wrong! ok your repetitive then, so am i! sorry the responses are within the text Edited March 10, 2008 by stevebrum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
