RPNY Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Having met Greg recently I can tell you first hand he is every bit as nice in person as he comes across on TV. He really is a very decent fella. I know some of you wont want to believe that but he really is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, it's what made him realise how far off he was from been able to afford the equipment he would need. Shame as he was a clever rider and could have gone a lot further with the right equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but I could not last any longer listening to such dreadfully produced rubbish. I'm surprised that total boredom wasn't the charge made by anyone having to spend time with him/them. Me too, I was very interested to hear Greg's "side of the story" because I admire him as a great rider. Sadly it was all about joshing around and trivializing the problems Gino had at the SoN. Greg said there were three sides to every story and we have now had Gino's and Greg's but perhaps the truth is not going to come out ( as is often the case in speedway ). Greg made himself sound far away and remote from the experience that Gino had and seemed to suggest, that maybe it was all down to Gino's inexperience. A poor attempt at spin, by Greg, is how it came across ( to me ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what exactly did he mean then, notice he hasn't exactly come forward to set the record straight. Was he down on power? Yes. Did he ride on one of Hanocks bikes? No. A bit of 'twisting' wouldn't get to the comments he was quoted as saying. It would be downright lies.

TheReturn Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) I don't believe Hancock is the nice guy he makes out, I have felt that since that incident with Nicki. I know Nicki is not everybody's favourite, but the way Hancock made that public statement about his view of Nicki's mental health that is unprofessional, unforgivable and close to bullying (trying to get more people within speedway against him) in my opinion. But that view aside I listened to this interview with an open mind, and I have come away believing this guy is more of a douche than I did before. I think he threw Gino under the bus there, he talks about bad apples, and stay away from bad apples, he didn't call Gino a bad apple, but it was within that conversation, so what did Greg mean by that? I think it's clear. Rather than debate on some podcast, surely if Hancock was a real nice guy, a real professional guy he should have answered simply 'You know, Gino had some concerns and I am going to give him a call and find out where he's coming from and see if there were issues, try and resolve so we can get things right next time" He then makes quite a few comments, one of which "you should think before you speak", well that's good advice Greg. What a douche. Edited June 16, 2018 by TheReturn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
