Ghostwalker Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 What's the crack with only 3 riders in the first semi-final? youngy, according to swedish commentators. its because of that only qualified riders should be in the semi since Jonas D or one of the reserves could "steal" points from the regular riders. stupid decison.

Steve Shovlar Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Track a disgrace. Gollob/Jonsson incident I thought was just racing. Don't think there was any malice from Gollob who was leading and went where he wanted. JOnsson was unlucky to get hooked up on Gollobs back wheel trying to switch to the outside. Hope he isn't hurt and will be back quickly. Andersen, Dryml, Iversen, Hancock and Gollob all bit the dust and made the racing so tentative it ruined it as a spectical. Hopefully the riders will all be relatively unscathed and get on with racing on a safe track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carcal Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 No offence, i haven't watched the GP but the track must have been rubbishe, or the meeting as a whole for Rune Holta to win, what a joke!

John Hannibal Thomas Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I think this is the worst GP ever seen, the fact Lingren just sat on the inside and scored more than 5 demonstrated this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazzman Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) No offence, i haven't watched the GP but the track must have been rubbishe, or the meeting as a whole for Rune Holta to win, what a joke! And don't expect that from Lindgren in your next match wolves fans He's an excellent rider in form...tonight he took the opportunity. It was developing into a decent meeting (Heat 8 was superb) and the track began to cutted up. In the break during Heat 12, the track staff did minimal work and the subsequent four heats were highly dangerous. After that the damage was done hence massive delays in between heats to sort the track out and some awful tumbles along the way.

Blazeaway Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Well done to Runa Holta on the night, but what a dreadful track To be fair to Rune he's been threatening that for a long while. Glad Nicki made the podium, even glader the ginger dick didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
