Guest Pocket Rocket Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Just before the tapes went up in heat 4, I noticed Jason Lyons' rear wheel was spinning. Can any technical person out there tell me why it was spinning when the green light was on? I didn't notice this with anyone else's bike. Brief answer for you Peter, if my memory serves me right, Jason was in gate 2 and had positioned his back wheel down into the rut which had been created by the previous starts out of that gate. Unfortunately, at times, if the rut is too deep, just when the rider leans forward on the bike to shift his weight over the front wheel to keep it down when the tapes go up, the exhaust will "bottom out" and catch on the berm (side) of the rut and lift the back end of the bike up. This is what happened to Jason. All riders like to position their back wheels into a rut as this gives them extra grip and traction on the back wheel when they drop the clutch as the tapes go up. Hope that helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpo Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 No, I can answer this easily, quite often Jason Lyons doesn't have the rear wheel cover bolted on its just loose so when he starts reving the engine at the start the vibration causes it to start spinning, I have seen this lots of times at Belle Vue.

Jungle Jake Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 listen you two its actually because he was spinning the wheel with the ridge of his boot with his left leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pocket Rocket Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 come to think of it, maybe he had his bike stand under the bike ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 in which Bo in both cases could safely do (cue Star Lady) Jive there can be absolutely no complaint as it simply gave the cameraman more chance t focus on Bo therefore everything was justified. I rest my case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatface Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 I've not liked pedersen since he fenced one of the riders at owlerton back in 97... Nicki has no chance if you are going to start making up crashes he has caused. He didn't even ride in the country till 1998. Christ im surprised Nicki hasn't been blamed for starting the war, third world debt and Paul Daniels. Quite right Skittle Face. No doubt about it, Nicki is a hard rider. I was there on Saturday and he did nothing wrong. Yes he made an attempt to stop Adams coming past, but these are the best riders in the world racing for the World Title. I expect and even want the racing to be hard. In the final, Tony drifted towards Nicki on the first lap right in front of us. That's not unfair, that's just the nature of the game. Nobody asks nor gives a quarter. Like him or not, Nicki Pedersen he is one of the sport's characters and gets people talking, thats what the sport needs, surely?

steve jones Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 We had to laugh though, because before the final, the man in white was put up on the main scoreboard as 'J Grump'....Looked good all night though... Everyone was complementary about the track though and it looked like a bigger version of Coventry's much maligned circuit. Can someone provide me with the answer as to whether the ref (Tony Steele) was the same as the Cardiff GP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Can someone provide me with the answer as to whether the ref (Tony Steele) was the same as the Cardiff GP? It was Mike Posselwhite at Cardiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulr Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Are most of the people on this forum 'Holta fans'? I'm very surprised that only one person has mentioned the incident he caused imo. I couldn't believe that Tony didn't exclude him :? Hate to disagree with my favourite rider, Sam, but I viewed the incident very differently. Sam said that AJ had his wheel in the air when Holta cut across, but the way I saw it was that AJ had his wheel down just before Holta's front wheel came up, and Holta's back wheel took AJ's front wheel. Even Nicki had to shut off quickly to avoid going into Holta as he cut across in front of him. Okay, it's a GP and everyones going for it, but imo Holta rode as though he was the only rider on the track :x :twisted: Am I wrong :?: Did anyone see it differently :?: That's exactly the way I saw it. I normally like Sam but I think he got it totally wrong. Even if AJ had of had is front wheel down, he still would have had nowehre to go because Rune was cutting across his space. Sam said AJ was at fault because he had his wheel up, well so did Rune, and so do a lot of riders coming out of the gate. Just don't know what Sam expected AJ to do, to miss the crash, and to blame him..... :evil: Even if the person hadn't of been AJ, if it had of been Nicki Pedersen, I still would have said Rune was at fault so I'm not being bias. Sorry this is late - only just had a chance to watch the recording of it. Can someone explain how Holta wasnt at fault or wasnt excluded ??. Seemed to me he was less than half a wheel in front then veered into AJs path as they approached the corner. Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
