NICKAT Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Surely, the yellow helmet on Saturday night should have been taken by the top placed rider, not already in the Super Prix. It seemed unfair to me that Nicki P was given the ride when in four attempts he had not made the grade. In my eyes, he was awarded $15000.00 (US) for not qualifying and then not even getting past the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyHart Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Wasn't Nicki the top placed rider not in the SuperPrix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Appleby Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Surely, the yellow helmet on Saturday night should have been taken by the top placed rider, not already in the Super Prix. The top placed rider in what? Nicki Pedersen was the top placed rider not already in the Super Prix, by total points scored over the 11 rounds. In my eyes, he was awarded $15000.00 (US) for not qualifying and then not even getting past the start. How would sticking in Hans Andersen, a rider who 'only' managed fifth over the course of the season have made the situation any better? Why are people getting so worked-up about this? The Super Prix is a gimmicky distraction from the finale of the season-long World Championship anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted the championship without the Super Prix distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
