invadersfan Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I was there last night, great GP, and some very excited polish trawling the streets afterwards !! i do agree with the majority of people, Lingren shudnt of been excluded, and he made his point given dryml a little push coming into the pits! scary. The Trip back was pretty good as well, Leigh adams was 2 rows infront of me and my mate on the plane!! he must be getting back early preparing for monday night, against peterborough. regards Garry on my plane we had nicki p, scotty nicholls,jan steachman, 2 sky girls, famous song writer,several promotors and journalists. Must say it was a great night and a nice trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNY Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I was there on Saturday & have to say I thought it was a great GP. Good track, plenty of passing The Danish crowd were brilliant. If not the drunkest group of people Ive ever seen! Plenty of support for the home riders, but they dont like anyone else (unlike Cardiff where most riders get supported well) In heats 4 & 5 I started to cheer when Scotty on Bomber hit the front (birefly). All the Danes in the seats near by looked like they were gonna lynch me! And they took great delight in pointing and shouting once Niki soon got into the lead! With regards to the Brits I was again disappointed, but this being my 8th or so away GP, I cant say I was suprised. Bomber was awful, a shadow of the man who won me £300 in Cardiff last year.. Scotty was Scotty.. Terrible 1st ride, slow out the starts, loads of effort, galliant in defeat again. By the end of the meeting he was well on the pace. But he cant keep on having only 4 scoring rides and expect to make the semi's. With regards to Dryml/Lindgren, I though it was Dryml's fault but not the worst ref decision Ive ever seen... All in all, a great GP, dont think people could really complain. I would tho like it if after ever 2/3 GPS the bottom 3 riders were dropped out & replaced with the current top ranking riders in the 3 leagues.. Think that would keep the series exciting. However, it might mean loosing the Brits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Good GP to watch - IMO Freddie was not at fault at all and should have been back in the rerun. Crump looked more hungry for it than have seen him recently and worked the track really well. Lets hope the Cardiff track is up to the same standard as the Parken one. Just one more comment - A BIG WELL DONE TOMASZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Did anyone notice in the final that Crump seemed more worried about what Nicki might do than actually racing? I like Crump but I thought he got well and truely psyched out by Nicki on at least 2 occasions he gave no fight 1st turn he just moved out to let Nicki up the inside then after he passed Nicki he let him straight back through without a battle as if he thought Nicki might just wipe him out if he didn't? Nicki was definitely racing the rider and not riding his race hence Gollob getting past for the win off the 2nd bend! If Nicki is in the ascendency who wouldn't be a bit wary? Back to his dirty ways it seems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandman Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 That crash with Dryml , in the business is called a butt stretcher. Now those are one of the crashes racers hate the most outside of goin off the high side. Given the choice between the two, personally I would have rather been the other fella with no hands on the handlebars. (the song free ride comes to mind). Anyway, that butt stretchin crash takes the old breath away just watchin it. You can just feel the mans pain watchin him sittin there. Then, havin to get back on for the next race, sittin on that hard seat, all I can say is, these guys are tough, dont kid yer self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERACE Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Great meeting and lets hope that cradiff is as good. Really happy with the way crumpy rode seems like hes getting back to his very best, once he sorts his gating out then Nicki Pedersen better be aware. Got say that Gollob really impressed and he seems to have stepped up a gear again this year and deserves to be a world champion. Anyway roll on Cardiff and a crumpy victory.

invadersfan Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 is Bomber still with Brian Andersen? Yes he is still having engines done by him but they dont seem as quick as last year ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Yes he is still having engines done by him but they dont seem as quick as last year ? no they certainly dont........ his confidence seems to be knocked but there is a world of difference between his bikes performance getting to the first bend compared to last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhamboy66 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Just got back. Trip started off great meeting and chatting with the Great Barry Briggs who was on his own in the departure lounge at stanstead. Nice to see Jason almost back to his best but the rider of the night for me was Kenneth Bjerre. Has to be said that Chris Harris has been truly awful in the GP's this year and at Parken he just didn't seem competitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Bee Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Nothing wrong with Bombers engines. This year the problem is Chris in the GP's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandman Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 it is interesting how Gollob really flies when there is dirt on the track. he has a lot of natural ability, and surely when the track is right, worth the price of admission alone. he is probably at the now or never stage in his career, and just needs to kick it up a very small notch and be consistent. i would love to see him racing in Poland on a track with dirt, and him on form. that fella certainly is willing to take risks. looked like a great night of racing.

daveccm Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 All you lucky ones who recorded it and saw the lot - well done. I'm never sure how much extra time to allow on V+/ Sky+ box so when the rugby overuns by lots I missed both semis Speedway overunning - who cares? So all I know is that Gollob won. As for Chris Harris. He just isn't gating so he's having to work hard in every race. But if it isn't the engines then is he as fit as he needs to be at this level? Still wish him all the best at Cardiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_D Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Any links to the recording of the Danish GP on the internet my mate miss it with this video messing up. I have deleted my copy from Sky+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'm pretty certain Miss Yellow was one of Jonathan Chapman's original Super 7 girls and she was at the EL Pairs last year at KL. I have it on good authority that she will also be at Cardiff.Might make Mateusz happy.But she definitely isn't Scandinavian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
