Kreso Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 As far as I know, Nicki have been given a wild card once before. But it's not like Freddie Lindgren, Chris Harris or Andreas Jonsson. Twice. He was 10th in 2010 and 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Crash video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWYrSpA7oCI Strange crash, in the respect we've seen much worse with no injuries, was it was the speed of it that caused the damage. Hopefully speedy return and he is back really mixing it with the GP next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully speedy return and he is back really mixing it with the GP next season. Agree. Innocuous looking tumble. He did not really high side the bike but was catapulted on to his front. You cannot argue with the damage done though and I wish him a full recovery. Come to think of it Darcy's was not that serious looking either unlike Lee Richardson's that you knew was bad from the outset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shale Searcher Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) Yea, didn't look a really humdinger of a crash, I think his head was thrown into the ground, bit like a cricket ball as it's released by a quick bowler..... Nicki is a huge draw in the GP series, a real case of marmite, you either love him, or hate him!! I personally think he's a very talented rider, he had picked his way from stone last, to fighting for first place with Emil in that 6 rider race.. So, get well soon Nicki P...

SCB Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Twice. He was 10th in 2010 and 2011. And in 2003, the year he won his first title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMER57 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I thought this was a Speedway thread For people too say they hate this rider or that rider is a bit strong all of them put their life on the line when racing for us the fans to watch what think about their riding style is nothing to do with them as a person. Having meet and spoken too both rider all I can say is Nicki was a real gent and a pleasure to talk to. Darcy was a kid still learning and trying too cope with the all the hype I wish them both well as they recover Ps Get well soon Nicki and back to racing Sorry people rant over but that did wind me up 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomcat Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Get Well Soon NP, not everyones cup of tea, but as the years have gone by, I've learned to appreciate his talent and his showmanship..... he obviously likes playing the villain on track, but is a nice guy off it. Best Wishes for a speedy recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 If this is me I didn't say I hated him I just had more hate towards him than anyone else as I have got tired of watching him try to finish other riders careers, I'm sure if you was to ask other riders on the world stage individually you would struggle to find somwone who liked him, apart from possibly a team mate but even then it is unlikely. I'm sorry if my post was misunderstood, I do not hate him I just have hate towards him which has built up over the years watching him.

screm Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 It won`t come as huge surprise but its been confirmed that Pedersen will miss the last two GP`s, with Michal Jepsen Jensen taking his place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't pull any worse moves than Doyle, Kildermand or back in the day a Gollob or even Crump, Hancock pretty much stuck Jonnsson in the fence the other week and no one batted an eyelid? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hes no worse than some other riders so why pick up only on him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 But hes no worse than some other riders so why pick up only on him Because most riders pull off a 'dirty move' maybe once per fortnight where as Pedersen is more once per meeting/per week over a much longer span on the world stage. Anyways I've only picked up on him because it is a thread about him? Why would I list riders I don't like on a topic about him? Anyways it's my opinion which I'm sure he doesn't care about.

Guest GiveusaB Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 I dont think Pedersen deliberately tries to injure other riders ??? He just wants to win more than other riders!!! Get well asap, speedway is less entertaining without him!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billywamill Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) I dont think Pedersen deliberately tries to injure other riders ??? He just wants to win more than other riders!!! Get well asap, speedway is less entertaining without him!!!Uh? Wants to win more than other riders ? No it's because when he isn't at his best, he makes desperate moves. He's done it all his career. He also never accepts it's his fault when 90% of the time it is. His whinging when he's excluded does him no favours Saying that, he'll be back in the Grand Prix next year as the sport need characters of all kinds, and he is still capable of winning Grand Prix and even another title or two.

He just thinks of number one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
