Has been the odd time he has been very hot at home though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Irving Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 On 4/11/2025 at 12:44 PM, lucifer sam said: Nice twist of the facts. Yes, Ellis passed Wright, but Ellis was first from the tapes, Wright under him on the third bend, Ellis back around on the fourth bend. Ellis elbowing another rider to get the advantage at the first turn and then not being able to take it when confronted about it after the race. He would soon moan if the same was done to him in reverse. Still, it livened up a meeting which, up until then, didn't have a lot of atmosphere. 14 minutes ago, Arch Stanton said: The race in question. Make your own minds up. See this is the problem when you spout biased blinkered drivel on here, sometimes the footage gets uploaded and you get caught out. Want to retract your biased lies Lucifer? Ellis never elbowed Wright or anyone else from the moment the tapes rose, to the second he crossed the finish line 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even a hint of an elbow that Rob has claimed on here. What a clown he is. Why any club would want him in their side of the pits baffles me. Even starts fights with his own teammates!

SaddlebowRoad Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 some people moan about lack of characters and confrontation compared to the 70s though so maybe we should embrace a bit of needle and hoo haa a little bit of jostling and finger wagging all adds to the atmosphere maybe it should be encouraged and riders not hammered for getting a bit wound up its a highly charged sport after all 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Long was stoking it up and it gave the crowd the opportunity to boo a pantomime villain for a while. Good fun really. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incite is a very strong word with the Cambridge dictionary defining it as ‘to encourage someone to do or feel something unpleasant or violent’. I would say that the Presenter encouraged some gentle mickey taking….😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Ellis did throw Wright a "hand signal" coming off the 4th bend, maybe wound Wright up... entertainment! great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft rule IMO, fans are always saying there's not enough entertainment, if an incident warrants it the announcer/presenter should be trying their level best to gee everyone up. What about when a rider is interviewed and says something, do they get fined etc ? For example on BSN, in the playoff final Tobias Thomsen interview.
