Swedish Gp Malilla Saturday June 14th


Recommended Posts

THIS one will run and run but can assure you that NP's fellow SGP riders are none too pleased with his antics this year. One aspect that tends to be ignored is the damage done to, and the subsequent cost to repair, Zagar's bike. It was a wreck.

 

My own opinion of the incident is of no real value but didn't hear from one current or former rider in attendance who didn't believe that NP was way out of order, that sooner or later he is going to cause someone serious harm, and that before long retribution will come his way.


INCIDENTALLY, have just seen a photo sequence that shows quite plainly NP kicking out his right leg into Zagar and his bike, which then prompted the Slovenia to bale out big time.


watch it back in slow motion when pedersen dives under zagar he dosent hit him and they travel about 8ft together untill pedersen is slightly infront and it looks like there is a sight contact which was more than likely a foot rest catching the chain and sending zagars bike forward ,the impact of zagar,s bike makes the crash look worse than it is .if they had a front view i think people would see this. . It wasnt a dangerous move just a hard one but they all do it

SORRY but the camera evidence doesn't back that up. Nicki's right foot can clearly be seen in contact with Zagar.


IF I actually knew how to post a picture I would do so ... any advice gladly received!

THE Jury, comprised of President Wolfgang Glas, referee Marek Wojaczek and FMNR rep Krister Gardell, determined that both were guilty of "ungentlemanly conduct."


It was exactly the same move as Chris Harris made on freddie Lindgren for 3rd place .dont here any riders complaining about that move

YOUR eyesight must be very different to thousands in attendance...

I think Zagar could be described as a "lover, not a fighter".

 

I could say what I think Pedersen could be described as , but I don't want to offend anyone on a Sunday afternoon.

 

Glad everyone was fit and well afterwards.

 

This contretemps shouldn't detract from an excellent Grand Prix that was probably the best this year. Congratulations to Tai on back to back GP victories. He's showed that he can do it from the gate or from the back in Prague and Mallila.

 

Plus it was on Freeview so everyone with a TV could see it.

Philip can you tell us anything about British Eurosport originally not showing GPlive and then them altering their plans ?

BRITISH Eurosport were 'over-ruled'on this occasion in their choice of programming by their French Masters at Eurosport who were obliged to show equestrian and Le Mans events on the back of lucrative sponsorship.

 

However, Eurosport are now owned by the Discovery Channel who also control Quest and as a result an alternative outlet, which actually offered a larger audience, was provided. Normal service will be resumed for the rest of the season.

 

My own view (for what it is worth) is that Sky will probably out-bid Eurosport when the contract is up for renewal at the end of 2015.

 

Can you imagine how Sky are currently feeling, especially with the British Final being screened 48 hours after Tai Woffinden wins back-to-back GPs.

Tai Woffinden, Greg Hancock and Chris Holder all voiced their displeasure at Nicki Pedersen at the post SGP Press Conference ....

yet nobody complains about woofy jumping at the start 4times which he admited later ,nobody complains about some other "ruthless" moves that were made .could it be that those 3 have it in for pedersen because they feel they have been hard done to in previous gp's.

JUST lost my 'tweeting virginity' and posted some photos @speedwaystarmag

Thanks Phil, just watched it again sitting really close to the tv and there was nothing wrong with NPs dive under Zagar, however the kick in the corner that caused the crash was awful.

 

Never really seen that many kicks whilst racing in my 40 years of attending!

 

On a more positive note the GPs are better for having NP in them , but he must be close to overstepping the mark now.

great meeting which should have ended with Zagar kicking six bells of **** out of the pussy Pedersen.

How Zagar wasn't injured I'll never know.... for a 600 euro fine I would have made sure he was spitting teeth out of his mouth...

 

Pedersen is a liability and a danger to all who shares the track with him.
