Ghostwalker Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Sure Nicki touched Greg's front wheel but at that point Nicki was already ahead . Greg should have been excluded and he should also get a ban.But will be dealt with ligthly and probably will only get a small fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G the Bee Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps-JMfWhgfs Watch from 40:00. Most people will know what happened. It's hard racing. These things sometimes happen coming off the bend. Knudsen was excluded for that one. It cost him a World Championship in my opinion. And for what it's worth, I believe the ref got it spot on.

frigbo Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 If your gona hit someone hit them ffs, what was that Sums Hancock up, decides to have a cuddle rather than punch the bloke. Absolute whining wuss who isn't beyond dishing it out when it suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedersen wasn't ahead, he was alongside if he was able to touch Hancock's front wheel. It's a speedway myth that the rider who is leading can do whatever he likes.

foreverblue Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Of course you can forget the names, it's called being objective. So you condone Hancock launching a violent attack on another human being? i do definately, Greg has gone from likeable fair rider and champion to hero status in my book, totally condone what he did. Pedersen has complete disregard for anyone else as proved in the world cup when he couldn't care how badly injured the rider he put in the fence was only worried that he would be rightly excluded. Have no argument with that, tho I'd hate to be a referee. Any news on action against Hancock for violent conduct/bringing the sport into disrepute. Did Scotty get done for violent conduct after Cardiif? It's Pedersen who should be banned, if he was maybe he would think twice about ramming riders in the fence.

June01 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Interesting to see the official GP website using the incident to hype up Cardiff. Rights and wrongs aside, this kind of thing always gets people talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtommo Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 the thing is nicki has done it time and time again to various riders and as yet no one has got seriously hurt it was only a matter of time before someone cracked and went for him I was surprised it was greg but not surprised that it has finally happened 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 If Hancock gets fined, I'm putting my hand in my pocket Hancock was lucky he was able to do what he did you could say, he may have been injured through the incident. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always makes me laugh when idiots do that for footballers who get fined for various actions. They earn far more than most of us, let them pay their own fines. Pedersen took the American’s front wheel away as they charged into the back straight in heat 15 of Piraterna’s 50-40 triumph at home to Dackarna. Hancock crashed hard down the back straight, but immediately leapt to his feet and sprinted nearly the length of the straight to confront his rival, taking him clean off his bike with a flying shoulder tackle. You can forgive racing incidents, but what whiney Hancock did from that description sounds unacceptable (no matter who the other rider was). I hope Hancock gets a ban, because if it was the other way around you can bet the forum would be in uproar demanding Nicki be banned.

It is not about what they can afford, it is about what the fans think is a unjust punishment and by offering to pay it the fans are making a statement of what they think of the judgement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows how stupid they are then, Hancock can afford to pay his own fine, so let him. Would he pay a fine for you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hancock ought to be done for that. Yes it was a hard move by Pedersen, but Hancocks reaction was wholly out of order. If you did that in the street, you'd be arrested. Utter rubbish. If Pedersen rode his bike the way he does on the road he'd of probably be up for death by dangerous riding by now. You can't take what goes on in sport to the real world. It's far too separated. Stupid to make comparison. But, at the end of the day I'd still rather have Pedersen than Hancock lining up in my team. Hancock has gone up 10 fold in my appreciation of him though. Love it when a rivalry spills over, brings an exciting edge to the sport. Something that's seriously lacking over the last few years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB252 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Nikki gives Hancock mimimal contact. Hancock bailed out. 100% correct. Massive over reaction from the Norman Wisdom lookalike. He ran pretty fast for an old man to be fair but it was pretty embarrassing. Haven't cringed so much since Tatum flipped his lid at Olly Allen live on Sky all those years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard racing maybe, but I'm of the conclusion that Greg had every right to seek NIcki out for that BS. Finally NIcki solidifies his character that he doesn't respect Greg Hancock period. Was only a matter of time before someone lumped Pedersen for his riding and look what happens. No surprise Would we be saying the same if a Woffinden, Iversen, or a Holder had paid him back Edited June 17, 2015 by Undercover Elephant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinsgirl Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Of course you can forget the names, it's called being objective. So you condone Hancock launching a violent attack on another human being? Do you condone Nicki continually riding into other riders? Nikki gives Hancock mimimal contact. Hancock bailed out. If you think Hancock dropped it on purpose you've never come off a bike at that speed. Anything can happen to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Do you condone Nicki continually riding into other riders? I don't condone any rider who is guilty of dirty riding. That's why I could never ever be a referee, its all a matter of opinion and I don't consider my opinion to be valid enough to having never ridden a speedway bike. I often agree with Nicki's exclusions however there are times I think he is excluded simply because of who he is. To clarify, Nicki was excluded in this instance and I have no problem with that.

Anything can happen to you Of course he didn't drop it but likely it wasn't nicki's touch that caused the crash. Greg ran out of space and possibly his footrest hit the airfence.

It's been a long time coming and Nikki has done this to Greg (and countless others) on many occasions over the years.
