seedef27 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Probably stating obvious here but i could not but notice that Tai did very little to block a postcarded pass by Nicki.... it would almost make you think that he let him through to stop a rival reaching semi's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not often you can accuse a British rider of riding intelligentntly. When it come's to winning the World Title, tactics are more important than winning every race. Ask Mark Loram. JT.

nw42 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Nicki only needed a point so I doubt it. You should watch it again then, he's faster than anyone tonight but he just let that go, very wise ride, good on you Tai. If anyone ever wonders why he has Peter Adams along then there's your answer.

pandorum Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Well done Lebedevs. Sad for poor old Emil. He looks slow and also seems the pressure is getting to him. Woffy going from strength to strength. Riding like a world champion. Wether he thought about the race with Nicki who knows but he will likely lead the pack and may even win this one. Long way to go and don't rule Emil out but Woffy in the driving seat it seems. Edited August 17, 2013 by pandorum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Unlucky for PUK, easily the best rider tonight so far. Still 13 is a great score. Here's hoping Woffinden can repeat that start... JT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wise about dropping points on purpose? Edited August 17, 2013 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw42 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Just shows the benefit of the cameras, anyone else think Tai had cut across too close and picked him up. Replay showed there was no contact. Phew. Hope Tai can do that again, perhaps a cutback this time. It's not wise to drop a point a point to give a rider an extra point when the rider he gave the extra point to didn't need it. What's wise about dropping points on purpose? Because he could have come unstuck if he'd been 2nd and the leader had fell/ef. The benefits of ensuring Emil does not get another ride tonight were much too big to mess around with. It's only my opinion but I reckon it's valid, especially when you see the replay and Tai is looking for Pedersen to pass him on the back straight. Anyway, Tai Woffinden, World Champion 2013. Got a nice ring to it, come on Tai, bring it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will probably say its that new tyre, but in a different league out of traps, just slow when the race gets going... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a nice ring to it, come on Tai, bring it home. If the leader fell then Nicki was through. You're not making sense. He didn't need to let Nicki though unless they were 3rd and 4th which I'd already called before the heat he'd have to do. I don't doubt he did let him through, you're right, it looked like he did but he was wrong to, he didn't need to. Therefor it was a silly thing to do.

Not making sense - do you really think he would have had any instruction from Pete Adams other than to ensure that he finished behind Pedersen, that was the important thing, points were not paramount at that time, the chance to put Emil out of the meeting was. That's why he looked for him, that's why he let him past, that's why he poodled around in 3rd place. Which part of that makes no sense? No doubt you will harp on about the point he dropped, yes it may cost him in the long run, but the overall gain was there for the taking. We'll agree to disagree if you like, been a decent meeting, shame to spoil the thread with arguments. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
