Dodger Blue Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 no what?? What did he get banned for then?? Officially?? Lol...and you couldnt box eggs what you talking about?? I was a huge fan of Mike the Bike and pretty sure he was banned for riding his bike the wrong way round the track and parking it on the start/finish line while the race continued. Banned for endangering the other riders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Why are you such a prat sad or what, we all knew Ricko was placed those riders i would still consider them all modern day GREATS and Tai might soon join them is that to difficult for you to fathom? And after all that crap you spout you did not even mention the twenty i named i presume they are all inferior?Tell you something you are a total pain in the ass to talk to best thing is you carrying on badgering Starman. jeez your the same as Starman! you put a comment on...........someone proves you to be wrong......................you then try to change the debate. You said Pedersen didnt dominate TR, CRUMP, HANCOCK, OR GOLLOB. I then proved that he pretty much did (apart from Crump) in the times they rode together You then come back with a response that isnt even written in the Queens English. Tell me again how you think Nicki hasnt dominated his era from 2003 up until 2010 when he had won 3 world crowns??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using "the time they rode together" is a bit selective. That's a bit like saying Ole Olsen dominated Barry Briggs. It's not really relevant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me again how you think Nicki hasnt dominated his era from 2003 up until 2010 when he had won 3 world crowns??? Lets make it SIMPLE!!! for you to digest, i rate the four named higher than Pedersen in the modern era the GP series is that not possible.?Neither of us are right or wrong it is just our own opinions can you not get that? Now get off your high horse take a chill pill and i can't wait to read more of your anti Ward/Middlo/ Poole crap yawn yawn!!! I don't see how you can say Pedersen dominated Rickardsson. Using "the time they rode together" is a bit selective.That's a bit like saying Ole Olsen dominated Barry Briggs. It's not really relevant.As you say Grachan great riders sometimes meet other great riders on the way down just as Ole did with Hans and Erik.I was a huge fan of Mike the Bike and pretty sure he was banned for riding his bike the wrong way round the track and parking it on the start/finish line while the race continued. Banned for endangering the other riders.Dodger was there a big petition with the riders involved in that race?saying the ban was a joke was Mike a marked man?SOME of it was his own doing.

Gavan Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) I don't see how you can say Pedersen dominated Rickardsson. Using "the time they rode together" is a bit selective. That's a bit like saying Ole Olsen dominated Barry Briggs. It's not really relevant. Thats exactly my point. Sidney in his bluster said Pedersen didnt dominate riders in his era like Rickardsson Crump Hancock and Gollob I pointed out that the other 3 started a good 7 years before Nicki on the world stage. So looking at the time Nicki rode against the riders Sidney mentioned i would say Pedersen did pretty much dominate his era bar Crump. Who were the best riders in the world from 2002 up to 2010? Crump and Pedersen Its so much fun proving Sidney wrong then seeing him blow his fuse Lets make it SIMPLE!!! for you to digest, i rate the four named higher than Pedersen in the modern era the GP series is that not possible.?Neither of us are right or wrong it is just our own opinions can you not get that? Now get off your high horse take a chill pill and i can't wait to read more of your anti Ward/Middlo/ Poole crap yawn yawn!!! As you say Grachan great riders sometimes meet other great riders on the way down just as Ole did with Hans and Erik. Dodger was there a big petition with the riders involved in that race?saying the ban was a joke was Mike a marked man?SOME of it was his own doing. Ive highlighted your statement in bold for you so you can undrstand how you have twisted my words like you always do to when your original statements are proved inaccurate. Lets look at the facts: The gp series started in 1995 so has been going 20 years. The best riders in that era are Rickardsson, Nielsen, Crump, Pedersen, Hancock. If we are looking over the WHOLE gp series then yes i would have Rickardsson and Crump above Pedersen. Possibly Hancock. Your original statement was Nicki hasnt dominated riders from his era. Go back and check your post its what you wrote. Nicki's era was from 2001 onwards which is what we are discussing. Or to be fair 2003 onwards. From 2003 onwards his record is better than anyones bar Crump. So your original statement of Nicki not dominating his era is false (bar Crump) Those 2 dominated the Gps for quite a while. If you want to change your statement to Nicki isnt the best rider ever to grace the series then of course there are gp riders with better records. Face facts you are backtracking on your original statement to dig yourself out of the hole your in. And just so you understand i cant stand Nicki Pedersen, think he is a dirty and not a nice person. However i respect his dedication and attitude to staying at the top for 14 years and unlike yourself can actually see the facts in front of me regarding his record at the top level Edited July 1, 2015 by Gavan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However i respect his dedication and attitude to staying at the top for 14 years and unlike yourself can actually see the facts in front of me regarding his record at the top level Spot on, and it is that record that places Nicki as a legend of the sport. Whether people like him or not is a matter of opinion, that he is one of the greats is not, 3 world titles is testament to his status as a legend of the sport 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Has Darcy got his visa yet? Dunno, but the interesting thing is... Doesn't the rider now have to be clearly sponsored by the club that he is riding for. So, if he IS applying for a visa, then he must have been already signed by someone.

Using "the time they rode together" is a bit selective. That's a bit like saying Ole Olsen dominated Barry Briggs. It's not really relevant. Grachan, I agree it's being very selective indeed. Not only that, but if you look at the years they were both in the Grand Prix (2001-2006), Rickardsson won three titles (2001, 2002 and 2005), and Nicki P only one (2003). Not that I'm belittling Nicki's achievements as a three-time World Champion at all. But Gavan's claims that Nicki P dominated Rickardsson in the Grand Prix is somewhere out of the realms of fantasy.
