Terry Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Sigh, resorting to veiled threats of violence. Little wonder you support your buddy Greg. Greg doesn't even start running until Nicki is almost all the way back round to him, why is Nicki going to 'get off his bike' before then? You see perhaps Nicki doesn't consider fighting an appropriate way to go about things? Some call him a coward, I call him sensible. Never thought I'd see those two words in the same sentence.

Grand Central Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I do love this .. We are now debating the actual nature of the violent act Greg's red-mist-moment produced. As if it mattered. I could understand debating the nature of NP's move in the race; whether it was worthy of exclusion or not. But to debate the type of assault Greg carried out, seems madness. Let us agree on one thing. Greg Hancock has finally ridden a race worth public comment tinged with real high emotion.. That's just bloody marvellous. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I beg to differ. Ran at him head on. Nikki didnt react. He had plenty of time to but didnt.You could have asked 100 people "what happened next" and I reckon NO ONEwould have said "flying high tackle" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooversquash Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 It hasn't anything to do with the SCB. The SCB seeks to act as the independent body to ensure that the BSPA, Member’s Tracks, Riders and Officials all act within the Rules and Regulations of the SCB and most importantly within the best interest of Speedway motorcycle racing. The SCB each year produces a Rule Book known as the Speedway Regulations which covers all aspects of the National sport including the general rules of the Auto Cycle Union (disciplinary), the BSPA Rules (Team Formations, Meeting Rules) as well as Regulations concerning Technical, Medical and other Legislative matters. I think they might have something to say about it BWitcher don't you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandorum Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I beg to differ. Ran at him head on. Nikki didnt react. He had plenty of time to but didnt. Of course he didn't because he did not expect the mad sod to do a flying tackle on him. :) I think this was a great thread as Grand Central said it's the most interesting thing Greg has done in years. I think the guy is great but I still think he should get a ban as that is not on at all. Even though I admit to a chuckle when I first saw it Nicki is a nugget but he is not as bad as portrayed here and that fool Rising trying to insinuate he was privy to riders threatening to fence Nicki shows that such threads attract all kinds of crackpots. I can't stand the sod but I don't wish him any ill. I also admit I would laugh if someone jawed him at Cardiff (as long as he was not on his bike) but that is as far as my hypocrisy goes on that score and they would have to catch him first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bruiser McHuge Posted June 18, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I've been in plenty of pits when flare ups have occurred after races...I've seen huge arguments and ones between team mates as well and I've seen riders threaten one another so I'm not naive at what goes on at times,,, .....but I find it distasteful that somebody in Philip Rising's position should openly brag about riders threatening to fence Nicki Pedersen and basically injure him...if somebody does that accidentally to Pedersen and he's injured now it is opening a right can of worms which could have further repucussions...things like that should never be broadcast publicly by somebody in "authority" Anyway it was obvious Speedway Star would be 100% Greg....even back years ago they had a clique of riders well involved with the editorial staff and these were the magazine favourites....Greg certainly falls into that camp....fair enough, he's a nice bloke and a great ambassador for speedway but he was bang out of order here and Philip Rising, Speedway Star, Speedwaygp website etc should have the balls to say so and not roll out the usual array of excuses. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toad Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Best thing that could have happened in the GP this year after the less than inspiring opening rounds, expect Cardiff to be be buzzing even more than usual. Also surprised the conspiracy theorists haven't suggested this was planned to some extent...? The main point is that no one has been injured and speedway is enjoying a level of exposure it hasn't enjoyed for decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedibee Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 FACTS? You wouldn't know what facts were if they slapped you in the face. Facts aren't opinions, they are precise details that all people recognise. Strange you talk about some, so-called facts and only mention those that highlights your opinion. So lets have a few more facts: 1. Greg Hancock is the most respected Speedway rider in the world. Not just in this country, but the World over. Be it fellow riders, fans or media. Nobody has a bad word to say about Greg Hancock. Having met him on numerous occasions he is the complete genuine person, a fantastic ambassador to everyone and everything, he is associated with. He is the sort of person who would make a perfect role model for people to imitate. 2. Nicki Pedersen, has a name of being Selfish, Dirty, Hard, rider. He cares for no one but himself. Someone who is always involved in controversy. On the riding circuit he has but a few friends, and supporters don't flock in their thousand to watch him. I saw at first hand the depths he is prepared to take to win when he Tee-Boned Kenneth Bjerre, (a fellow Dane) at the a televised meeting at the. EESG, a few years back. Even his home fans jeered in disbelief of his antics. He then, in response to the boos, rode round gestating to the crowd with his thump and fore finger. A real gentleman!!!!!. doing that in front of families and children. When Tatum and Pearson took him to task of his behaviour he just smiled and wasn't interested. Tatum actually said at the time it was probably the worst piece of dirty riding he had ever witnessed. No, I wasn't there at the meeting, but have seen 3 different recordings of the incident, all from different positions around the track, and each of those Pedersen is clearly at fault. In a race, when the meeting is all but over, Hancock was leading, when Pedersen, some distance adrift, straightened up on the corner and got good drive out. From the extra speed, Pedersen could've picked any line he wished. But getting to the front wasn't his prime aim. he wanted to interfere with Hancock's line forcing him to ease off or else. That all very well when you allow them the space to do that . but Pedersen's intended line said he wasn't taken any prisoners. The whole incident is dictated by Pederson forceful riding. There are too many accidents and people get hurt in the sport now, riders need to remember this. Had the positions been changed round there would've no accident because Hancock would haven't done that. Whether there was any contact, only them will know, but it was to close, difficult to see from each of them videos, but the movement of Hancock handlebars suggests there was. For a calm and placid man, the reaction from Hancock tells me he thought Pedersen had crossed that line. I don't condone Hancock's retaliation, but you have to realise it's them who put their life on the line. How anybody can justify Pedersen's behaviour is beyond me. Footnote: I am part of a syndicate who have a sweepstake at each SGP. We pick riders at the start of each year for the whole campaign. This year, my rider is NICKI PEDERSEN never heard such a load of biased twaddle in all my life 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Central Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Could the FIM also look at it and then Ban him ? . Thankfully we will never know. If they move at their usual speed - think Darcy's case and the Warsaw 'enquiry'. Then old man Greg will be long retired before any action was taken. I should think it is totally outside their jurisdiction anyway. But honestly, what idiocy it would be to consider banning the man. Come US Independence Day - July 4 - HIs appearance at Cardiff will be the most eagerly awaited by a Yank in this country since Penhall retired. No one should spoil that ! .
