brandonbee48 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hi everyone, Superb picture, Panther2006, Weather looks great and the crowd looks good. Now all we have to do is stay awake. Alan. This really is a great setting. Such a shame if it proves to be the last one here .Let's hope that it is a packed crowd. Hope (western) springs eternal.

MAN ON THE TERRACE Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Spoke to my son earlier who flew there from Wellington ......sold out of programmes over 2hrs before the start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Spoke to my son earlier who flew there from Wellington ......sold out of programmes over 2hrs before the start  = bigger crowd than expected or they were cautious on the amount of programmes they printed! I trust it the former of the two. Weeee! initial glance at the crowd very good. We getting an Australasian commentary right now here in the UK.

brandonbee48 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Bomber starts as he means to go on!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Cough! Cough! forget the Sahara sand over the UK right now the dust clouds from the Auckland track billowing over here. Bomber starts as he means to go on!!! Â He was praying before the race too, maybe he should become a Satanist. Heartwarming to see early good racing, Buckley has spent an awful lot of money over the last few years. I don't think it's a set standard price to stage a GP??? and he seems to have been charged a fair amount? Heat 4, Ouch would have expected Woffinden and Hampel to finish 1st and 2nd not 4th and 3rd. Looked more than an injury issue for Tai as in the bike wasn't fast enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonbee48 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Good racing over the first 4. They,ll need the water wagon, but so far it's good. Smolinski looked fast. Missing Emil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing Emil  Is Emil missing the SGP? Is Emil regretful?  Thought i recognized the voice lol, Jason Crump the co-commentator Edited April 5, 2014 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 It still amazes me how some riders seem continually oblivious as to where to ride on the track. Â Its blatant that you have to hold the inside tight, yet Freddie Lindgren (who is one of the worst culprits for this) couldn't figure this out until Smolinski had overtaken him.

nw42 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Oh Greg. Beaten by Bunyan??? Â Â Don't knock it Alan, I've had a bit on Bunyan to get over 2 points, almost there. Â Great ride from Smolinski there, well done Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) In the wake of the Russian wrong helmet fiasco have Kasprzak and Hampel swapped bodies! Â We got UK commentary back and very nice to hear Scott Nicholls again. Well done Tai holding on to second place it wasn't a case of gating into that position and then it not possible for a rider to overtake, he had to battle throughout. Oh Yeah Holy Smoli.

BWitcher Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Pathetic biased commentary from Crump and pathetic refereering. Â Ward was as blatant an exclusion as you could get then. No bunching at all, he's about 10 metres from the fence, and fell untouched. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonbee48 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Honestly think Darcy is a tad lucky to be back in. But the referee is NEVER wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Shocking decision. Should have been Ward excluded. Â Think Crump is doing a good job commentating....except for his ridiculous bias towards Ward there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I would have thought first bend bunching was the case in the re-run but not the first attempt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
