Referee Just Bottled Semi Decision


Recommended Posts

 

 

Nicki made a better start then Holder and Holder couldn't accept and and striked Nicki, CH wasn't particular much in control either.

You know when someone outgates you, you have to accept that and don't try to ride through them.

 

NP outgated Holder so Nicki was fully entitled to take the inside line. Why should he, who did the better gate, move aisde and let CH past?

Granted he made a marginally better start but not good enough to move over to the curb as he tried to.

A bike isnt 6 inches long!

People really need to watch the replays properly. It's as clear as day in the Semi Final Pedersen came across Holder, contact was made which caused Holder to lift. All 4 was the only option, I can't for the life of me see how any other decision could have been made.

 

Yes Nicki came across to choose his line for the corner, as he was entitled to do as the leading rider! Chris was beaten to the corner and make a poor decision but got away with it

Ref got it right - first bend bunching; all four back. Some folks need to take their blinkers off - I see a few familiar Aussie-haters on here.

 

I actually like a fair few Aussie riders, including Crump and the many that rode for my team over the years. But I don't like some Aussie riders for their antics and personality. Ward and Holder to name but two. Nothing to do with them being Aussie, just to do with them being **.

nicki came across holder and holder just didnt shut off (cant blame him its a world championship at stake )but that caused him to run into nicki twice ,he tried to force a hole which wasnt there , it wasnt first bendbunching it was a gamble that paid off for holder, nicki would of done the same but it dosen,t change what happened holder rode his luck and was even more lucky after that

You've lost me now.

 

Think it's best if we agree to disagree (and you agree to disagree with 95% of everyone else too!)

 

You're perfectly entitled to your opinion on the matter, however wrong it is :wink:

Google/Youtube Mr Magoo and you will see what I mean!

A light hearted tongue in cheek dig by the way.

 

Just because 95% call it one way doesnt mean theyre right .

 

Certainly agree to disagree - thats part of what this forum is about. So long as it is a genuine opinion and not just an inflammatory wind up then everyones entitled.

Pederson was looking for that. Unfortunately his game plan didn't work out.

I agree - it was his best hope to pinch the title so you cant blame him for trying.

Though I would say fotunately his plan didnt work out!!

I cannot believe CH was allowed in the re-run.... unbelievable.

NP outgated CH, made the corner only to be ridden through by an out of control CH.

 

I was hoping CH would win the title, he has deserved it this year, but for a ref to ask his dog 'what should i do' is .....

 

taxi for the ref....

Just going back to the referee bottling it, and making a decision that at least three international riders seemed to suggest was wrong (Tatum, Ermolenko and Sullivan), is it time to do what F1 now do for the GPs and have an ex rider involved in such decisions, at least for the semi's and finals?
