WIE-JA Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Maybe you shouldnt hang your elbow out like that, asking for a rider to hit it. He basically took him down with a flying elbow. Clean your goggles. Where was Harris supposed to put his elbow? Maybe he could of left it in the changing rooms. All riders have their elbows sticking out a bit going into a corner as they need to move their weight to the front of the bike. If HA had of pulled that move off it would have been pass of the season. It went wrong and a crash happened. That's racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritPete Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 First of all, well done Bjerre! Sad to say tonight was the first time ever that I changed channel while watching a Grand Prix meeting. I watched the first 8 heats before giving up on the "entertainment" served from Ullevi. You should have stuck with the GP, it improved greatly when the track dried up.

Dornier Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 As you are so conversant with Bombers set up, could you please explain why it is, he can't perform like he should at Coventry? Ive seen bomber in some fantastic races at brandon , its only a matter of time before he returns to form ,give him a chance and you will see . hes still number one at coventry and always will be this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If HA had of pulled that move off it would have been pass of the season. It went wrong and a crash happened. That's racing. Its a bit hard to pull it off, when you get hit by an elbow then shortly afterwards get slammed by an abandoned bike at full tilt. Harris should of at least tried to stay on the machine. What he did was bail off which doesnt look good at all. But he managed to convince the ref and got the call so he did well. Pity he got what he deserved in the re run and got last. I wouldnt care at all about this decision as its racing and mistakes happen, but for Holder to get ripped off so badly it is hard to accept.

Dornier Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Yes, well done Kenny! Pausing it on Sky plus it appears Harris put his elbow out to stop Hans getting past, which caused the accident. Rubbish . the accident happened when Hans cut in front of him . bombs could not stop so to avoid a collision bailed out .Bombers actions saved them both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for his form, it's inconsistent to say the least . Coventry are now on their 3rd season with him wearing the team captain badge and No 1 status, as in 2008, 2009 and now 2010. It's not the best of starts again is it? ( I feel like I'm repeating myself)...So what's the excuse now?......... GP's ???? He can't even perform at home!!!!

The bailing off bit was self preservation.The pair of them were unbalanced/out of control and Harris had no choice. I was surprised that there wasn't more incidents like that tonight. Holder will have his GP win before too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 The only thing Holder done wrong all night was let his countryman through so he may make the finals, and by doing so he ended up with a worse gate in his semi and prob cost him the victory. But when a rider gets taken out like Holder was apparently, you have to wonder who is in control of this sport. The riders or the ref?

tomcat Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I see the Hans Andersen/Chris Harris debate is ongoing with gusto. Sorry, but you have to be blind not to see Andersen come under Bombers arm and physically push upwards. Anyone that couldn't see that needs to get a very quick eye test sorted, and I'm not in anyway a Bomber Harris fan as far as the GP's go. Look at how Crump executed the self same pass a few heats later, clean and safe. And as for Tatums comments, he never had the gonads to even consider such a move, let alone actually try it and he too needs to get his head out of his backside and start commenting on what actually happened, not what he thought happened. Likewise Huewen in the studio.... "Nice to see no crashes tonight"... what GP was he watching? Harris had to bail off, or he wouldn't be racing much more this season, thats a certainty. You only have to look at Andersens reaction when interviewed, if he seriously thought he was the innocent party, he would have been kicking up a heck of a fuss. He knows he was at fault, hence no real argument. Brave attempt by Andersen, but he misjudged it and that was that. Shame the weather ruined the first part tonight, but a huge Well Done to ALL of the riders tonight, for getting on with it. Congrats to Bjerre, who certainly looks a class act right now and how about Zorro, not quite the spare part that many predicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holder was not screwed over by anyone. You're the same person who claimed Poole gave Darcy Ward the bad gates last week when they have no such control.

Hans went for a tight gap and tried to nip under his arm, it didn't work. They all take their chances at times, some they win, some they don't..

Jason.C Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 FWIW, i feel Bomber should be congratulated for having the lightning quick reactions and the quick foresight to jump off the back of the bike. He was obviously unbalanced by HA and if he had held on, would of collided into HA anyway, causing a greater accident. Perhaps if Bomber hadn't jumped off the back, this would of happened?

Then advise people to "watch" the semi a bit closer! Quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 What an absolute tragedy of a meeting tonight.....Kenneth Beer/Bear/Beerer wins a GP, and Millard isn't there to mispronounce his name properly....sort yourselves out Skysports!
