chapel_end_bees Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) His poole bike seized just before the final apparently and emil was nice enough to lend him his! OK, thanks. Thought it was strange that Emils pit crew were working with him, but didn't realise until I got home and watched it again that it wasn't his bike!!

Dave_minall Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I've heard somewhere that this is against the rules. If you were to think about it on a broader scale, if say Jason Crump were to lend Eddy Kennett a bike in the GP that would immediately go against all the pre-approved odds that the bookies put together. I'm sure that this is not allowed. We'll only know in due course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that this is not allowed. We'll only know in due course! Emils manager doesn't seem to think so going by the echo in the bournemouth echo today: EMIL Sayfutdinov’s camp have defended their decision to lend Hans Andersen a bike for the latter stages of the British Grand Prix, claiming it helped the Russian hang on to second spot overall. Sky commentator and former world number three Kelvin Tatum admitted “it’s quite staggering to me” when he saw television pictures of the teenager’s mechanics working on a bike for Poole Castle Cover’s star. Loaning bikes among team-mates is common practice in league racing, but is rare in the white hot cauldron of individual World Championship racing, although not against the rules. So there was some surprise when Andersen hopped on Sayfutdinov’s bike for the semi-final after his own machine’s engine had “slowly seized” during his fifth qualifying outing. The Russian’s manager Tomasz Suskiewicz said: “I think it’s alright to loan a bike. “Hans has the same engine tuner as Emil. He’s a good friend so that’s why we helped him. I’m sure he’ll help us back when we need it. “It was no problem. We even helped him to do a handlebar change and other smaller adjustments. “He liked that engine. It was working really well for him. We’re delighted he got third because he helped us in the final by beating Greg Hancock. “It means we’re still second overall behind Jason Crump.” Suskiewicz said Sayfutdinov had been fined $600US and Scott Nicholls $500US by an FIM Jury for their parts in an ugly on-track punch-up at Cardiff.

I hope you're right as he should not have been in the race in the first place ,if the ref had done his job properly it would have been Bomber Or Nicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 As I posted last night on the Cardiff meeting thread: Courtesy of the Poole site: Hans Andersen was quick to acknowledge the role that Poole Castle Cover Pirate Daniel Davidsson and Russian Emil Sajfutdinov both played in his achievement of finishing third in the British Grand Prix at Cardiff. Explaining Davidsson's role Andersen explained "On Wednesday night my van was damaged in a crash and I would like to thank Daniel for stepping in and lending me his van for Cardiff, I really appreciated the gesture and having borrowed some equipment to even get to Cardiff I finished the night borrowing a bike from Emil (Sajfutdinov) after my Poole bike seized in my final ride. I only had one spare with me but Emil stepped forward in the semi-final to offer me his bike. I didn't have a great deal of time to make any changes to it to suit me better but it was a fantastic gesture and I am really delighted to have got third place in the end". I heard about this crash on Thursday night, alledgedly involving his mechanic, but it wasn't from someone I know so wasn't prepared to post before without knowing if it was true. If you noticed Hans' pit area it was pretty sparse in the pits with no usual pit board etc so can only wonder if most of his equipment for the meeting was on board the van, particularly if he was riding a league bike in the meeting. Seems like exceptional circumstances in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmiller Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) I was surprised but thought it was a pretty sporting thing to do and I did wonder if it was the 600cc one that also has traction control on it? (how do you add 'a hint of sarcasm' to typing?) I also thought there was a rule against it... Edited June 29, 2009 by rickmiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snyper1010 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 As said in the Echo report it is NOT against the rules just something your only likely to see happen once or twice in your whole time watching the sport. Great stuff for Hans to take 3rd on a borrowd bike. Especially with all the hassle of not having his own van and alot of his gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyper1010 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Lol Speediee you really need to have words with yourself. Bomber was the cause of the stoppage and had to go Nicki laid it down in the hope that he could get shot of Hans. Nicki and Hans hate eachother more than Bomber and Nicholls. Nicki thought he had an inceident where the ref would take his side. You seem a little bit bitter than Bomber went out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyper1010 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Bramble i aint anti English so give that one a rest. Tell me where my judgement is clouded. Did Harris not come under Hans and take his wheel away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Harris not come under Hans and take his wheel away? I didn't say your were English, so wind your neck in. Watch the race again, and notice Andersen get out of shape. Due to this, he gets across Harris' line, giving him nowhere to go. Why is that Bombers fault? harris is racing, Hans causes the problem. He should go.
