SCB Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I'll come on here and slag off Nicki until the cows come home. But please, don't ban him and please Nicki, never retire As for last night, the actual speedway incident was pretty tame by Nickis standards. But he did make himself look silly kicking out and racing off like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YerRopes Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 There is no doubt that Nicki is a bit of a knob, but he is a great entertainer too.. Apparently the Aussie Brains Trust (Noddy and Darcy) cant stand him.. A bit of a shame that Matej Z didn't do a better job on Saturday, but it made me and the remaining few I speak to about speedway laugh out loud..

graz gp Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 What Nicki did was wrong and he should have held is hands up and acknowledge it. Then most people would respect him a bit more. I like Nicki he gives 100%. We need riders who get people talking about our sport. I got some of my non speedway pals to have a look at the GP for the first time on Saturday before the footie and that incident they loved. The comment was he should have chinned him. I said this is not football we are more refined than that lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPNY Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 The problem is that he will hurt someone in a bad way soon - or he runs the risk of the others starting to say enough is enough & they all start putting it on him & he'll end up in a bad way. I very much agree that he's great to watch, but he's guilty of this kind of incident time & again & enough is enough before someone's seriously hurt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRushbrook Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Shame on anyone who would rather have Pedersen over Hancock. Greg is more talented than Pedersen imo without having to resort to dirty tactics. I personally wouldn't cross the road to watch Pedersen for what it's worth. I actually get a bit bored with Pedersen as he can't take it back after dishing it out. All the fella does is slide off when he gets touched with his arms a loft...the speedway version of diving. In football terminology, he'd be a Robbie Savage as opposed to a Roy Keane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) So what the prat did was ok. What planet are you on Gustix. You miss the point. I have not given any opinion either way on the Nicki Pedersen-Matej Zagar incident. I was more reflecting on some of the outrageous comments being posted on here. And I have been on 'Planet Speedway" since April 1946 as a spectator! Edited June 15, 2014 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostonian Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 As much as I dislike Perdesen's antics and his down right dirty, unfair and unsafe moves at times, the GP's will be worse off when he packs up. The guy is totally box office and you can guarantee entertainment when he's around. As a person I cannot stand him, as a speedway rider and entertainer he is fantastic! For what it's worth, Zagar is as much of a Pratt as Nicki but totally agree with why he kicked off, was a silly and un-necessary pass he tried to make which could of caused serious injury. Made for great entertainment too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Turner Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 No amount of "entertainment" is worth the risk he places on other riders. One day he will go for a gap that doesn't exist and another innocent rider will end up spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair, or worse. I'm sure you'd all be calling him "totally box office" when that happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Nicki yesterday in Poland heat 13 stuffing Emil http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/447531/nicki-pedersen-zasluzyl-na-wykluczenie-wideo Think that's a bit harsh to put all the blame on Pedersen for that. He gets a bit shove from the inside which forced him high and wide leaving Emil nowhere to go. Unintentional incident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelcroucher Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 When Niki rides well he does really ride. I think he can be exciting to watch but when he is stupid on the track like Sat Night then he shouldn’t race in the GP for the rest of this season. I know what he done by kicking out was wrong but his riding taking out Zagar was so wrong. Zagar was very lucky not to really hurt himself and by doing what he done was also wrong. You can’t go up to someone and just hit them like he did. If I did that to someone because they drove into me I would be arrested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I thought it was a bad move and he was rightly excluded. The rest of it was just handbags and like it or not people will be talking about it long after the rest of the meeting has been forgotten. Like Boyce / Gollob where everybody remembers a single punch and most would have no chance of remembering who won the meeting including me.

Yes, but I remember all the other riders clubbed together to pay Boycie's fine!!! And I expect there will be a queue of other SGP riders offering to pay Zagar's fine!!!

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 The spat on twiter between tai and nicki this morning BSI couldn't buy this sort of publicity 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Have just seen Nicki's ride against Emil. He didn't do him any favours but Emil could have shut off instead of going down. It wasn't dirty just a blocking move. Has anyone heard Pedersen moan about being stuffed by a fellow rider ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don`t know if anyone yet has had the chance to stuff Nicki-as he normally has got there first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
