mike1944 Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 What on earth was wrong with Pedersen tonight, wonder if he was he ill, heappeared very subdued unlike him. We had a shot of him in the pits after the race taking his tabard off and he just looked tired and deflated. Usually Pedersen is cursing at everyone in sight and gesticulating at the mechanics about his bikes performance. Just not Pedersen. Some great track racing with loads of overtaking and the track looked in great condition, obviously had been prepared well and watered well in advance, way different than the later Swedish matches on TV in a dust bowl.

Col Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 I did say no Danes except NKI merritted a spot in the GP's this year. Pedersen creates more interest. Don't think Madsen has ever really had a chance to establish himself on the world stage, the others have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Nicki Pedersen is TOP of the averages in the Polish League. The toughest league of them all, yet some question his place in the top 16 in the world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He have been very good for Smederna this season and averaging on 2.000/heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Carter Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Agreed. Something must be up with NP. Not the same rider who turns out and carries Tarnow every week! Hope he gets it together as he is such a spectacular rider (and also the series bad guy) Suggestion that NKI deserves a place over NP is perhaps a bit short sighted but any suggestion that Kildeman should be riding is crazy.

Expand He had a broken hand in GP 1 and 2. Scored well in 3rd GP but had an off night in Sweden. He likes the bigger tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GiveusaB Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I think Tai threw this one away with a touch of arrogance? (choosing gate 3?) yes, he won the semi from there but he was never going to beat Magic from that gate! However, Tai is in untouchable form at the moment and his swagger is welcome and I hope he goes on to romp it! Praying for a first Cardiff win ! Woffy Woffy Woffy!!!

Expand I'm not sure that was arrogance, I thought it was maybe more a lack of confidence in his gating. If he took gate 1 and was then outgated he'd be clamped into turn 1.

Expand I AM not aware that any such tyres are homologated for SGP use. It would appear that many if not most riders use more than one tuner. Also, on Saturday at least don't think there was any rider on a PJR motor. How times change. And will probably do so again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it easier on the big fast Polish tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
