Of course Dudek is at fault, he's slowed right down bang on the racing line. Not deliberately and technically it was his bikes fault... but he is responsible for his bike. The very fact that other riders had to take evasive action means he has impeded riders and can therefore be excluded for 'dangerous riding'.
-
So to make it clear, you are saying if a riders bike fails or they slow dramtically, and another rider hits them as a result, its not the fault of the rider whose bike has failed or slowed? Interesting. How do you explain in that case when a rider locks up in a corner, the rider behind hits him.. and the rider who locks up gets excluded? He's still in the race....
-
Indeed.. a bit more 'speed'.. the end sequence of riders crossing the line spread out in slow motion does absolutely nothing to generate enthusiasm. Surely showing a very close finish would be the way to go?
-
Completely and utterly disagree. Seen such incidents numerous times and never have I seen the rider behind excluded. So you're saying when a rider's engine gives up the ghost, or they get a puncture and it causes them to slow dramatically, they're not the cause of any incident.. But, hey ho. I can see your point.
-
Discussion forums definitely not the right place for you are they? I see what you are saying, but that can be argued both ways. If Dudek hadn't been slowing in the middle of the straight he wouldn't have been rode into. By your rules, every time a rider makes a mistake, slows, lifts and someone else behind hits him, the one behind is to be excluded? Technically the decision was wrong as most certainly Dudek DID cause the stoppage.. by stopping
-
Do you even know what it is you are referring too? It's not nationality.. It's LOCATION. Mine says Portugal. I'm not Portuguese, but it's where I live. Woffinden's location is during the year, Australia and Europe. It's quite simple.

The decision to cancel the meeting is an entirely separate decision. If they wish to cancel the Sky coverage, they must do so at least 48 hours in advance as it appears that Wolverhampton did. Wolverhampton still decided to see if it was possible to run the meeting, but eventually decided to postpone. In this case it appears Kings Lynn cancelled the Sky coverage, again citing that they were uncertain if they could get the meeting on... then subsequently decided to cancel the meeting as well. Many are saying the weather didn't play a part so it leaves us with the conclusion that following a heavy home defeat.. then running on an off night, Lynn didn't fancy it. Sky haven't announced anything of the sort. They merely stated they wouldn't be broadcasting the meeting. Not that the meeting was postponed.
-
No, but it looks like you're attacking Sky when this decision to call off the meeting is not theirs. Had it been theirs, I would have concurred 100% with your post. If that isn't the case then I apologise. Nooo SCB! Don't fall for ouch's trolling. He tried twice earlier in failed with his "having to cancel train tickets and hotel" post. His post has nothing to do with this fixture, he's still bleating about the Belle Vue/Wolves fiasco.
-
Sky haven't cancelled anything. The clubs are the ones making the decisions.
-
As the tweets suggest, Sky have not called any meetings off, nor have they said they won't broadcast due to the weather. It is implying the CLUBS are telling them 48 hours in advance not to broadcast as the weather MIGHT be poor. I suspect this is because there is a penalty clause in the contract if Sky set up and a meeting is postponed?
-
Bless. Truth hurts as they say.

The British Final is an individual event, it has nothing to do with representing your country. That he will do at the Speedway World Cup.
-
Aww diddums, your jealousy just keeps seeping out. Winners make sacrifices, commit to things that will help them to achieve their goals. Losers bleat about it being everybody elses fault. A lesson you still haven't learned
-
I would, but I don't want to burn myself out
-
So it would therefore be silly for Woffinden to ride in the British Final. Glad we established that.
-
Why don't you try going along and paying to get in instead of trying to leech a freebie?
-
Are you saying it would be silly of them to do that? i.e. if they made no money from it?
