Guest GiveusaB Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I like watching both riders......Greg is a top guy and Pedersen nearly finished him...surely you cant blame his reaction... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCB Wildcat Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 For me the incident was pretty much what we see week in and week out. A rider overtaking on the inside and moving to the fence to block the run on the outside. Hancock seemed to be unsettled and went wide so obviously Pedersen was going to make the move. I don't believe for one minute Pedersen intended to fence Greg he just thought he was clear of him when he moved to the fence. It's fine margins when you're at that speed. I can see why Greg was annoyed and Pedersen was rightly excluded but the reaction was OTT in my opinion. Funny though :-) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 He punched someone and also promotes a drunk that is harmful to people's health. Great?! Nah. I wasn't aware Greg is Darcys promoter.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh chill, take the joke. But you are right, pathetic playground swipes are unprofessional.... what was it Hancock did again, took on track swipe and website swipe at Nicki.

TheReturn Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I was just watching the BBC London news and heard an interview with one of the greatest Formula One racing drivers ever, Ayton Senna whose words I think are so apt to describe Nicki's racing style. "If you no longer go for a gap, you're no longer a racing driver." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Trouble is pedersen went for a gap that wasn't there, again. He went for a gap that was there against Zagar in a GP, and still got the blame when Zagar closed the door and leant on him. Zagar catapulted into the fence, and then tried to attack Nicki, but Nicki got his revenge in first. Good man Nicki. Ironically, the other riders were split on opinions, cos Nicki and Zagar are probably the least liked riders in the pits. Go Nicki. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Trouble is pedersen went for a gap that wasn't there, again. But that's the point, there was enough of a gap, otherwise he would not have got anywhere inside Hancock. That's what racers do, they race. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReturn Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Racers are always riding into other riders yet its just pedersen who gets singled out. Go figure? I just hope the officials are strong on Saturday and don't fall into blaming Nicki for everything and actually protect Nicki. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Watched the speedway meet from Sweden on Tuesday night, Nicki and Freddie Lindgren had a good dice. Plenty of room left for each other on the straights, and Nicki did a similar pass on Freddie as to what he did on Greg, but plenty of room left. Obviously you dont invite you opponent to pass you, but you got to leave room for racing, yes, block pass but not trapping an opponent between you and a solid fence. Freddie won that encounter, good race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 I just hope the officials are strong on Saturday and don't fall into blaming Nicki for everything and actually protect Nicki.yes they were nice and strong when Nicki dived under Kildemand and knocked him off then blamed the other rider again. The mans a fool at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) yes they were nice and strong when Nicki dived under Kildemand and knocked him off then blamed the other rider again. The mans a fool at times Funny, didn't Doyle say something similar about Kildemand? Hancock again showing his lack of professionalism by having another public dig at Nicki when interviewed, he could easily have answered another way without stirring publically like that. Hancock's really shown himself up over all this, although it may be a smokescreen for his prowess on track starting to fade, he was easily bullied over a couple of times Saturday.

customhouseregular Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 The Greg/Nicki on-track incident was regrettable but I'm not sure I agree that Greg is stirring up publicity. I'm not too sure about his prowess fading either, though at age 45 one would reasonably expect him to slow down soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert72 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Tungate gets banned and Hancock gets a little fine for a far worse incident. Only in speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 During the meeting between Lejonen and Piraterna earlier this week, Darcy slammed into Kildemand causing Kildemand to crash. Then Pontus Aspgren, while trying to avoid hitting Kildemand, crashed into the airfence with a concussion as a result. "Surprisingly" not a word from the MonsterMaffia about this. Had it been Nicki, social media would have been filled with hate speeches from the MonsterMaffia against Nicki and how dirty he his. So obviously this is about something else then dirty riding. It's hardly a coincident that the riders who like to complain also are sponsored by the SGP/SWC's main sponsor. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
