speedwaysliders Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 From a neutrals point of view i went into viewing the video with an open mind,but lets be honest here Tugate is 100% guilty of knocking Auty off.How anyone can stick up for him is madness.Facts 1- The number 1 point is that Davies was going to get an easy second place.Tugate was never going to catch him. 2- Tugate was still traveling at a speed where he could easily have broadsided the bike round the corner then shut off down the straight. 3-Davies if anyone was the one that was going to hit Auty but he wasnt even close to Auty.Has Davis said anything about his fellow Aussie as he had the best seat in the house with what happened. 4-I DONT believe Tugate had the intention of hurting Auty,but why he is covering what happened up is making it 10 times worse in my eyes.Be a man go up to Auty,and tell him the true facts that he was annoyed and just wanted a small pay back,where he clashed with Auty in the first running of heat 10. Super camera work by the way as this after heat 10 clash could so easily have been missed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Horne Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Tungate is lying. Confirmed it with his "Auty was coming across the track at me" comment. Nothing of that sort happened whatsoever. He would gain more respect by coming out and admitting he done it deliberately now rather than lie. Everyone has seen the video now. There's no defence. Louis always going to defend his rider but poor from him. What are you talking about Ive seen the evidence and its plain to see Rohan was not to blame it was a sheer accident as Auty had slowed down to much right in his path. I guess you will see whatever you want to see (a little like the Americans seeing UFOs) but there is no case to answer as has been proven by no further action after the ref had fined Rohan. Auty probably slowed down a lot to provoke Rohan even more than just knocking him off during the first run of race 10, lets face it he has loads of form for doing such things all during his career.

SCB Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I don't know why everyone is using the " we've seen the video " line . The footage on you tube shows and proves precisely nothing . It's too far away and a bad angle to see how much contact was made or indeed how much if any intent there was in the incidents . Yeah, because riders slide the bike down the straight all the time, especially on the slow down lap. FFS!

If Auty slowed down so much, why didnt Davies run into him too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deary me. I've heard (well read) it all now. "Auty slowed down to provoke Tungate."? What????? That's as pathetic as Tungate's tweet and newspaper quote. Are you Tungate in disguise? Wish some Ippo "fans" would just accept what everyone else can see and what the SCB will hopefully see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Horne Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Alan this is at least the second post that you have almost gloated about the possible closure of Scunthorpe. Whatever the views of either side re the Auty/Tungate incidents there is no direct link to the clubs plight and adding such IMO is just an attempt to inflame a reaction and out of order. There may be a bit of short term needle between some rival fans on here but Im sure none wish what you are suggesting. Where did you get the idea Im "gloating" over the possible closure of a great racing circuit like Scunthorpes?? No such thing I would never do that about any track and nothing is further from the truth believe me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Auty slowed down so much, why didnt Davies run into him too? thats an easy one to answer davis obviously didn't have a gripe with auty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I though Suffolk folk had great eyesight with all those carrots they crunch. How anyone who's viewed the clip can't see Tungate flick his back wheel at Auty is avin a larf! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILYRAG Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) As predicted Louis is just going along with what his riders have told him without actually seeing the incidents , as it happens the mechanic said something to Morris and he jumped off his bike and went for the mechanic I had a great view on bend 3-4 but Chris believes Morris's version. Josh was out by the airfence when Tungate piled into him , not turning into Tungates path . Chris they are lying to you and making you look a prat !

He's only doing like any other Promoter would and sticking it up for his riders whether he is right or wrong as I'm Godfrey would if it was on the other foot or Buster Chapman would, Matt Ford would, Mick Horton would. Every Single Promoter in the country would back their own rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILYRAG Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Just to point out that Rob Godfrey sacked Ben Powell, after Powell used his speedway bike as a weapon: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/speedway-ben-powell-banned-for-bike-348829 So no, you don't stick up for your rider, if you know he's in the wrong. All the best Rob I'll just bump this post for you Superstar1. Edited July 20, 2015 by OILYRAG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'll just bump this post for you Superstar1. Wow he sacked Ben Powell. Ben Powell that superstar speedway rider numerous time champion etc yeah right. If it had been Auty who had done it he'd have laughed it off as a nothing matter would Godfrey or better still sat in the middle of the track with Josh and have a little gathering seems to be their thing.

montie Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 "Auty slowed down to provoke him" That is a classic....I still believe Tungate has no intension or anything else but to give Auty a bit of gravel rash,but it went a bit wrong Shame a vert good close meeting was spoilt in that way Slowed down to provoke him,and there's me thinking a race was four laps,and after the flag on the fourth lap slowing down is what normally happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
