Gavan Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Greg Hancock has become a disgrace. Firstly his attack on Pedersen Then pulling out of the World Team Cup And now blatantly cheating Middlo yet again proving he is a total prize plonker. The man shouldnt be allowed anywhere near social media 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WembleyLion Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I was once indifferent towards Hancock although I have always admired his skill as a Speedway rider and what he has achieved in the sport. However, after his violent assault on Nicki, the events around pulling out of the SWC and the two episodes today I find it difficult how anyone can carry on defending him, not that there are many on here doing that! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw42 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 GRW did you mean sufficed? Don't you start on him too, I felt bad enough over 'ungroppious' but it did need addressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 So delighted for Chris Holder. I love this guy despite the fact he's a Poole rider I've been a bit fed up with him recently but it seems he much more deeply affected by the injury to Ward then a lot of us realised. It seems the split from his partner rumours might be true too He totally worked his balls off for that win today hopefully it will spur him on now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidncohen Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Thoroughly enjoyed this GP - it had a bit of everything, and plenty of close racing. Good win for the Aussies and hope this boots the profile of the sport over there. Agree with a few other posters in that GH would have been better carrying on - his non-appearance in the rest of his heats might well affect other placings, and the public have paid to see him race at least 5 heats. His record will say that he won 4 world titles. Remember Mauger's 'protest' at a BLRC at BV when in the race that everyone came to see, him vs. Olsen, he pulled up on the first bend, but he carried on with the rest of the meeting and his record still says 6 world titles. Should be interesting to see the what the fan reaction to GH will be next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 http://www.greghancock.com/ If it's dangerous, why didn't he pull up and take no further part in the race...? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipsr Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 If it's dangerous, why didn't he pull up and take no further part in the race...? So how come he was ok to speed up after Holder passed him 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haza Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Am I the only one that thought Hancock let AJ win in his second ride ? Cus it certainly looked that way to me and the reaction of AJ towards Hancock after the race looked that way also not as blatant as the Holder let through but I'm sure he let AJ by .

jenga Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 well done greg hancock , champion again . anyone remember joe screen team riding mark loram in marks quest to become world champ . or tomas gollob team riding with an opposition rider in the world cup or jason dole deliberately slowing a race down so emil kramer could get the vital points they required to win the pairs or even your own rider slowing down so his mate could get a full max and not a paid one . it happens all over the country . but to withdraw was a step too far . sorry greg , legend that you are , it hurts to us fans .

Steve Shovlar Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 End of the day Loram won the title in similar circumstances. I was there and it was totally blatant. Screen, who was much faster than Loram all night, spent the 5th ride waiving Loram through then spent 4 laps blocking every move Hampel could throw at him. Was there outrage? Nope. Just a big well done to Screeny for helping his countryman win the wc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Perhaps it's time to lay down some ground rules for riders that race under a team sponsored banner such as Monster if it was in the GP rules that another rider can help another rider under that sponsorship banner fans wouldn't feel so cheated as they have today - it would also encourage other sponsors maybe Red Bull to have a team in the GPS and others of course- just a thought I could be talking c##p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 http://www.greghancock.com/ So why didn't Hancock say that when interviewed by Brandon after the awards ceremony. This GP deserves to be remembered for its quality of racing and fitting end to the series and not the poor behaviour of a rider who really should know how to behave towards his sponsors and supporters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert72 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 If it's dangerous, why didn't he pull up and take no further part in the race...? That makes him guilty of putting other riders at risk if he knows he has a mechanical problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
