bruno Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure the racing was as good as being made out but the meeting just about had everything.a good night of tv.as for nickis reactions I thought it showed his determination and will to win.what's wrong with that I agree Greg wouldn't have reacted to a woman like that but it would be a boring world if we were all the same Edited September 13, 2014 by bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Could you ever see Hancock doing that?a massive difference between the two men. That's debatable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 How can it be an unsatisfactory start when the race hasn't actually started? Once the green light is on the race has started. Plenty of action in that 2nd semi and the final Quite a few good heats tonight and the title is quite delicately poised with Greg (if fit to return), Woffy, KK and Nicki all in a position to win it. Already excited for the next GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StElmo Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 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!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlipphlopp Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Batch got caught out and bailed out IMO .When you see some of the moves these guys can make Batch could have stayed on IMO Yep and Pedersen has made his name by doing exactly the same. You hear the same pitiful arguments like in this case , Batch turned left on him. What do you expect , he was approaching a corner , or would you prefer he went straight on into and probably over the airfence. Clear contact , and correct decision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 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!" Perhaps, but then the referees would take the easy way out and "always" allow both in re-start, except Nicki who always would be excluded.

customhouseregular Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 You said it Sidney...Hancock v Pedersen, no contest. I am willing Greg to win title no. 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Im often critical of Nicki making moves that IMO just arent on but this time he went through a gap and not the man. He had got genuinely in a leading position and did turn and was staying on the line. He hadnt bumped his way through and wasnt looking to run him hard out to the fence. Batch had a choice and made the wrong call - correct decision by the ref. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arson fire Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Did you see Batches' foot near to Pedersen,s rear wheel? he was very lucky in my book no way he could of stayed on.he could have shut off as nicki was in front??...(you know just like nicki should have with zagar earlier on in the season) Batch was practically zig zagging down the back straight.

mervjankefanclub Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 One of those incidents that could have gone either way......I would have been interested in Tatum's interpretation of it had it been Woffinden buried in the air fence though.

Gavan Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Good,the old saying is what comes around, riders now have wised up to him are not intimidated and he is now often coming off second best. so what you are basically saying is exclude Pedersen every time then!! I cant stand Pedersen as a person as his reaction to his wife showed and he has/is a notoriously dirty rider but that exclusion was wrong Try being a speedway fan rather than just a hater Percentages say Arson that he is going to lose out sometimes,how many incidents has he been involved in over the years? we have all lost count.The thing is he looked like he had the pace to pick Batch off anyway and his reaction to the woman in his team says it all really. Could you ever see Hancock doing that?a massive difference between the two men. as said Nicki the man isn't very likeabke Nicki the rider is often dirty Tonight he shouldn't have been excluded. simple really 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you just playing devils advocate ?I do, but are telling me batch had the racing line?? ... Where he was on track was no sort of line what so ever... I say he should have shut off because that's what the haters said nicki should have done in the zagar incident in an earlier round... Can't be one rule for one and one for another surely?? If that had of been holder or Hancock ...batch would have walked...and if roles were reversed tonight people would be saying it was nicki's fault.. Fact.

Greg vs Nicki again. The difference is the day Greg retires and someone says, "pick your favourite Greg Hancock memory" everyone is going to scratch their head for 10 minutes as there isn't one. Being passed by Bomber at Cardiff? Being fenced by Nicki in Prague on the straight? Drinking his body weight in Monster at every GP? When Nicki retires there goign to be too many moment for us to pick one, we'll need to list a few of them. Nicki creates memories, evokes emotion etc while Greg, well, he's a nice guy who can ride a motorcycle well.
