Garry1603 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I think Greg Hancock has had his 'Bruce Penhall at White City moment' where he has gone from most people's affections to someone who has brought the integrity of the sport into question. Congratulations on being an all time great rider, but I think that your legacy has been tainted forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Hancock taking the p*** there coming into Holder's interview with his big cheesy grin and hugging him. As for Pearson and his constant "Based on opinion" crap.... Edited October 22, 2016 by BWitcher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hancock was dealt with correctly and fairly. You have to race not ride. Pulling out of the meeting is a sulk. The problem of having a team mate in Monster Energy, and a team mate in their Polish club. Shouldn't have looked out for a "team mate". Its happened before and will happen again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I`m hoping Steve Brandon doesn't bottle the question with Hancock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothorsen Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Very good meeting, and a thriller to the end with so much more than the gold medal to fight for. Absolutely thrilled that Antonio and Puk made it in to the top 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Congratulations to Greg Hancock and Chris Holder on their respective wins. Good to see 'The Bart-man' on the rostrum. Hopefully Doyley will win it next year. Bit of a shame Leigh Adams wasn't interviewed, but a great gp. Roll on next year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 So Hancock still can't accept that cheating is wrong. Every time I see one of those M bottles I get a massive urge to go out and buy a can of Red Bull 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruiser McHuge Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I haven't seen this yet..so what was Nigel and kelvin's take on it ?...and what did Hancock actually say about it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocha Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I haven't seen this yet..so what was Nigel and kelvin's take on it ?...and what did Hancock actually say about it ? There take on it was they felt he was deliberately slowing. Greg's reaction was, in essence, left for another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly it would be nice if a non-monster or non-monster hangraround win it next year*. I also still think it is very unsuitable for the championship sponsor to sponsor a few selected riders in the lineup, I don't know if they get any advantages of it but the actual possibility of bias is enough for it to be improper/unsuitable. *the exception would of course be Antonio Lindbäck.

Congratulations on being an all time great rider, but I think that your legacy has been tainted forever. I think that came last year! His attack of Nicki, not on track but the off-track website statement was pathetic and bullying. Tonight he went from winning the world title in one race, to colluding to cheat other riders in the following race. I haven't seen this yet..so what was Nigel and kelvin's take on it ? To be fair Kelvin called it 'strange' during the race, and was quickly critical. Pearson didn't try to defend Hancock (yes that's right folks, I am defending Pearson). I looked on Twitter and that total moron Havelock is now slating Nigel and Kelvin for judging Hancock. What saddens me is that Havelock can't see what Hancock did was wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnishSpeedway Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Monster Energy should be punished also. It is a team. In other sports teams also get punishment for this kind of stuff. I am Hancock fan but I found this to be too much. Attacking Pedersen on Swedish Elit Series meeting was on borderline but this was too much.

What saddens me is that Havelock can't see what Hancock did was wrong. I'd have to re-watch it but I didn't think either Kelvin or Nigel picked up on it during the race, I'm sure it was only after a couple of replays that they even discussed it, then again were they actually over there, or just sat in a UK studio? I've always been neutral regarding Hancock but his withdrawal from the meeting was the wrong move imo, lost a lot of credibility in my eyes. He will definitely be remembered for today's antics and they will overshadow his fantastic achievements. Shame on you Greg Hancock.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I'd have to re-watch it but I didn't think either Kelvin or Nigel picked up on it during the race They didn't but the way Kelvin questioned the move during the race sort of suggested to me that Kelvin thought it was suspicious, which was enough for me to rewind and take a look. I've always been neutral regarding Hancock but his withdrawal from the meeting was the wrong move imo, lost a lot of credibility in my eyes. Shame on you Greg Hancock.. Not just today for me. Hancock's recent crimes against speedway are: - Today, manipulating the race. - World Cup, cheating British fans by pulling out of the Belle Vue meeting, after making no reference to that in the qualification. - His attack on Nicki by publishing a website statement attacking his character. Unprofessional at best! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I sometimes wonder if Havvy is actually on this planet some fo the things he comes out with To be fair, Havvy and Middlo aren't the first people you'd choose to put on Mastermind. They seem to be the only 2 who couldn't see what blatantly happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawkins20 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hancock is a disgrace. By the way he is done the same in 2014 when he let Woffinden thru. That one almost cost Nicki a bronze medal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
