brandonbee48 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 "This match is the total opposite of last night. Hardly edge of the seat stuff " Low key is always the operative word with Denmark. The picture is superb and "the price is right" Going back to last night, i still can't get over the post meeting celebration of Grigori Laguta. I don't recall EVER seeing a rider so pumped about his team winning. The way he interacted with the Smederna fans was a sight to behold. I think they'll want him back next year?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Think that was a change wasn't it?? No Rasmus Jensen was scheduled to be in the heat. His jacket number is 4 and i saw it. Also the commentators frequently mentioned his name during the race. Going back to last night, i still can't get over the post meeting celebration of Grigori Laguta.

Unless they are as mental as Danish caption guys I would say that is a certainty Greg is without doubt a world class rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Nicki always seems like he has fleas. He is always making jerky movements and fiddling with his crotch I've always presumed he was a cyborg and having the odd short-circuit or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonbee48 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Nicki always seems like he has fleas. He is always making jerky movements and fiddling with his crotch And it makes him sweat a lot The only rider with his own personal "hairdryer on cold" valet.

lastword Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Nicki always seems like he has fleas. He is always making jerky movements and fiddling with his crotch Over the years I have seen so many riders who have a particular routine at the start line. You could write a book about the things they do before EVERY race. From Chris Louis and his clutch fiddling to Mark Courtney and touching whatever he had around his neck under his leathers...............the list goes on and on. One day someone will list them, but I'm not sure that it would have much of an audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Fjelsted could do with a much needed 5-1 in the next heat but that will depend on Skornicki holding Jensen in third, presuming Kildmand wins of course.

Ken McKinlay always adjusted his goggles and gloves going down the back straight steering the bike with his knees.

brandonbee48 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'm sure it's not as dark at the track as it looks on screen, but they are fitting headlights on the bikes for the last 2 heats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the EL forum that would have started a war that would last for years. Here is another stat. Every heat has been pretty dull. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
