Panthers70 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) 17 hours ago, New era Panthers said: Are you suggesting that Ostergaard made a deliberate attempt to cause harm to your rider, I don't think there are any riders that would purposely try to fence opposition riders , and quite frankly I find your accusation sick that riders would attempt to do this to one another. You have to face the facts that riders are there to race and incidents will occur from time to time, Nothing to do with being biased towards any riders or teams . Many years ago Ben Howe fenced Ronnie Pedersen by carrying straight on the first bend and not turning left 1 inch. That was 100% definite sorry just seen that this incident has been posted before Edited August 7, 2018 by Panthers70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davet Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 You weren't there though were you? Ronni Pedersen's trouble was his confidence exceeded his ability, but I don't think he ever deliberately fenced or otherwise impeded another rider. Ben Howe, on the other hand deliberately used his bike as a weapon, forcing Ronni to collide with the fence. I don't understand, to this day why he didn't receive a ban. Speedway is dangerous enough without idiots like him being allowed to act in such a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 And nicki doesn't? He always fencing people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davet Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Read it again! It was the deliberate nature of Howe's action that was unforgiveable. Ronni Pedersen was, to my best memory an awkward rider, and he was certainly guilty of some unacceptable moves, but I don't believe he was ever guilty of deliberate foul riding.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Is the "Danish lift" taught in the training schools over there? Even the mild mannered ones like Morten suffer with that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Ronni rode with his weight further back so his front wheel was hardly touching the track down the straights. But soon as you hit a rut or unexpected grip you take off and become a passenger. I was there that night and I understand why Ben took revenge. It was a highly competitive meeting with frank ebdon favouring the panthers and it all ending up in court with the judge ruling in Ipswich’s favour and overturning the result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davet Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I was there too and there was no possible excuse for Howe's action. If Jeremy Doncaster had reacted it would have been understandable if not excusable. It was nothing to do with Howe. Fortunately he seemed to disappear off the scene shortly after and good riddance! There's no place for such stupid behaviour in an already dangerous sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 As did Ronni. Howe retired through injury , he was one of the most exciting riders I have seen around Newport when he was in the mood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben had an insane amount of natural talent and was a super quick rider What he lacked was discipline and application and perhaps the self belief Wonderful to watch in full flow but equally frustrating when it wasnt going so well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I don’t agree with Ben’s actions he witnessed pedersens spear of Jeremy as he was right behind him at the time of the accident.
