Not entirely no. It certainly doesn't help though does it? -
Well I hope that they are wrong.

If you read any, or all of my Posts regarding Tactical Substitutes and Tactical Rides you would be aware of the fact that I am against BOTH ways of Fiddling/Contriving Results. I couldn't give a damn about which is the best or worst - I couldn't care less. THEY ARE BOTH UNFAIR AND WRONG!!!! -

No it most certainly shouldn't. In the case of Evans though, there is still an Appeal against his guilt going through the Courts. They also said on the News at one point that there were some oddities about the Case. Until ALL of the Legal avenues are completed - I will reserve my judgement. -
Could Mike Bast Have Been A Force In World Speedway?
The White Knight replied to stratton's topic in Years Gone By
I didn't say that gustix. By his own, American, standards he was a very good Rider I agree. But crucially, where Speedway in those days mattered, in Europe on his own admittance he couldn't hack it. Scott Autrey was a far better Rider than Bast. Bast didn't have the testicular fortitude or the determination/dedication to stay over here and fight for the World Championship. He took the easy option - I don't blame him for that at all, but that is a fact. According to another Post "he considered himself the best in the World" at one point - he is deluding himself. He was never anywhere near that. As I said in an earlier Post he was great on American Tracks - and really that is all you can say about him. The best in the World - NEVER!!! :nono: -
I don't think so. :nono: Great News this. Good luck Lewis. :approve:

I don't like Evans, or what he did (if he did it). However, whatever happened to rehabilitation? He has (possibly) 'done the Crime' and has also 'done the time' for it Guilty or not. He was found Guilty by a Jury of his Peers - but - Juries have been wrong before. He has always protested his innocence. -

And if the Team getting the 8-1 WINS the Meeting without the other Team having the chance to use the Tactical Ride because they have generally ridden better - that is FAIR is it? I don't think so. :mad: -

The White Knight replied to stratton's topic in Years Gone By
Probably Bast was an American Track expert/specialist. When he got to the varying size Tracks in Europe - he got found out. Just my opinion though. -
As long as we keep 'Robbo' I'll be happy.

Very much one dimensional thoughgustix. He was at his best on American Tracks - didn't do much in Europe. There are a whole load of American Riders who were far better than him racing over here. Penhall, Sigalos, the Morans, Autry to name a very few. -
Just about............................................. :rofl:

I would guess that the Referee would only exclude somebody for getting off the Bike to do the 'gardening'. Changing a Bike if the one you are on has broke down is totally different. To exclude a Rider for that would be robbing the Public of a four Rider Race. The Rule seems to specifically and quite rightly, in my opinion, target 'gardening'. We must wait and see how the Referees apply the Rule.

I have NO axe to grind here. I believe the Tactical Ride is wrong for BOTH Sides, Home or Away, the Team I support or the opposing Team. I am against it altogether. I tell you what HT - let me know when you are visiting Newcastle and I will come. The BSPA have cut at least one Tactical Ride so they have met me half way and they have restored the Yellow/Black Helmet Cover. They have also got rid of Tactical Rides altogether in Two Legged Meetings. I will probably attend the Cup Meetings. Just the Play Offs and ONE Tactical Ride to be got rid of now - and - Happy Days. -

I wonder what you have said if Edinburgh had NOT got the chance to use the Tactical Ride and LOST!!! I suspect that you might have taken a different view? -
