Ghostwalker Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 they all say Hancock because he is one of only a handful to come across squeaky clean... Notice they don't compare him to any other of the many speedway riders out there, they use Hancock because he's probably the only one they can think of Most champions/winners are ruthless end of. Well compare Nicki to Leigh Adams. Who is/was the most of a gentleman on the track and who's a three time world champion... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratton Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 So the guy who walked out in Oxford in 2005 and left them without a number 1 for the play-offs - on the day of the play-offs. You call that professional? You call that a great ambassador for the sport? You call that having time for the fans? What about the guy who quit Reading mid-season in 2007? Do you know all the facts? NO i go by my own exsperience, he always had time for the fans autographs pictures time for a chat.If you are telling me he is not a great ambassador for the sport, well we might as well all give up i was never a fan but you cannot help respecting the bloke i certainly do.*yawn* at all these Hancock love-ins. Great rider without question, but is he a great racer? I think there is a difference, and for me Pedersen is a racer. Give me a Pedersen over a Hancock every time.Andy Smith as a example was a great racer, a difference between that and being a great rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Decent GP, congratulations to Jonsson on his win, whether its enough to save his SGP career I would doubt but it might just give BSI a nudge when they`re handing out the wild cards. Hopefully Bjerre will be ok after his get off, I`m sure Rob Lyon for one will be eager for some good news this morning. Haven't read all of this thread, but IMO Pedersen was on the wrong end of a decision last night, not surprising really as this ref isn't the best. Batchelor should've been the one to go, no doubt about it, looks like Pedersen's reputation went before him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batchelor should've been the one to go, no doubt about it, looks like Pedersen's reputation went before him. Thought the Ref was rubbish last night. Trying hard to think of a decision he got right.. Like you, Batch was so obvious the guilty party, but it seems, everytime Nicky is involved with any crash it is his fault. But that's the way it goes when your disliked....... Terrible decision.... I thought Batch was also the main cause of the Kenneth crash, It was clear he missed the gate and was third into the first corner, but by keeping the power on, before locking up, he created the problem of squashing Kenneth into the fast gating Pederson, I appreciate it was a racing incident with a lot at stake. But surely the head has to rule the heart at times like that. Can't imagine better riders taking them chances, His actions of laying his bike down later, when out thought by Pedersen, highlights his attitude of conning the Ref. Again, can't imagine riders like Hancock ever doing that.... Having had 3 bad crashes in as many years Kenneth has had more than his fair share of bad injuries and none being his fault.. He has taken some time to get back to the rider he was, He didn't deserve that last night.......... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Nicki gives his own view on the incident: Men den udelukkelse mener Nicki Pedersen ikke var berettiget. - Jeg kom rundt i svinget og prøvede at overhale ham indenom. Det så han og smed så benet ud til siden, så jeg ramte ham. However Nicki means that this exclusion wasn't justified. -I came around the bend and tried to overtake him on the inside. He saw that and threw his leg out so that I hit him. - Det var ikke min fejl, og så væltede han ovenikøbet først efter, jeg havde overhalet ham. Det burde dommeren have set, og jeg synes, at det er en meget urutineret dom, siger Pedersen, der selv indrømmer, at det er en frustrerende tid for ham. It wasn't my fault and the he fell after I had passed him, the referee should have seen that and I think that it is a very inexperienced ruling, says Nicki who admits that it is a frustrating time for him. http://sporten.tv2.dk/2014-09-13-skuffet-nicki-p-udelukket-i-vojens-helt-hen-i-vejret Not surprised by Wojacek's ruling, he ALWAYS excludes Nicki no matter what happened.

P T Preece Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Very enjoyable GP and what a crowd, looked full to me. Well done to AJ, good close racing and the usual tatrum from Pedersen, I thought he was going to hit thet woman for a minute. Hope K Bjerre is not feeling to battered this morning, Wuffy looked in so much pain, got 7 points to keep him in the running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midland Red Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Let them BOTH restart, time to change the rules? I mean it was a racing incident, two riders, no malice, just going for it...... I mean "Its not Table Tennis!" And don't forget, it IS a contact sport!

Gavan Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Only the real Pedersen haters or those new to speedway think Nicki was at fault. Cant stand the man but it was blatantly the wrong decision 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Only the real Pedersen haters or those new to speedway think Nicki was at fault.

topaz325 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Well done AJ, good to see him do well again. Some great racing and in the end not too bad a result as far as Greg is concerned, seems like Nikki missed out big time to really stamp his authority on a claim for the GP title.

arnieg Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 What about the guy who quit Reading mid-season in 2007? He didn't quit. His contract came to an end. I believe he even rode an additional match after the contractually agreed end date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 As was mentioned last night the big winner was Greg Hancock, I`m sure he was thinking he would lose his SGP lead but I sure he will be over the moon this morning still being top.

bill94d Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Sorry to spoil the party but I think the referee was dead right. Pedersen did pass on the inside but delayed his turn fractionally on the third bend enough to hit Batchelor who was trying to turn. Spot on ref.

Spot on ref. batch had loads of room to turn, if he kept the wider line, nonsense to suggest he had nowhere to go, it's not a gymnastics beam they are racing on you know 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
