Good luck to our 2015 British representatives Kings Lynn. I hope Buster doesn't bankrupt himself!! Who will NKI ride for?

Is that an actual word?

The FIM have to explain how/why they reached their decision of (only?) 10 months.

Was it the 'single, middle digit' wave?!

Great start for the Lions. Most teams will struggle there.

Don't let Horton know - you could be main team sponsor with that!!!!!?

Green being 'unlucky' is a traditional theatrical thing. Not sure where/when it started, but you won't find (m)any theatres or concert venues with green anywhere to be seen, even down to having no green paint in dressing rooms etc.

Indeed you did! but some clearly don't see that skill in team-building?!

Don't forget Sky don't 'sponsor' the league any more, just televise - so maybe their opinion isn't taken the same!! I thought the new 2015 racesuit regs were more about being of a specific standard of material in order to give more protection to riders, rather than stipulations about colours.

A 'reasonable time' applies to both then presumably?! Either way I doubt DW will issue a statement until he gets the FIM's 'full reasoning', either in a public announcement of their adjudication or in a prior notice to Darcy. Nice to see the '45 days' now being referred to as irrelevant - shame you didn't step in earlier in the thread.

He can't/won't give a statement until FIM have given their 'full reasoning' in their own statement, which according to the often quoted FIM rule should be within 45 days of the hearing, so we've got til Sunday for the FIM to issue theirs first. Then DW has 21 days to appeal or not.

Condolences to Hans and his family.

The 1936 Olympics would have been much much worse without Jesse Owens!

Shame you're not a bookie then as we might get much longer odds!!

Surely its been the case for many seasons that any team that shows the most improvement on their starting average is likely to at least be in the play-offs if not the eventual champions.

No wonder SteveBrum has gone missing!! Hope he's ok.

Lets hope Eurosport introduce a 'pits interviewer' for the coming SGP series. If each rider is interviewed before the meeting, walking (a straight line) towards the camera, we can all give our views as to how intelligible they are and whether they should be allowed to race?!

Same as the final FIM statement then!!

How are the floods in Portugal??

Was his career backdated??! But he wasn't ineligible at the time!!!

Best wishes to both for a full and speedy recovery.

Not for the first time, the FIM statement makes no mention of any club. They have no power to force domestic associations/clubs/leagues to change anything - particularly on a back-dated basis - when the punishment statement applies solely to an offence by a rider in an FIM individual international meeting. Nothing more to see here - move on.

Not according to SCB's Graham Reeve in this week's SS. "We suspended Darcy when the FIM suspended him. We cannot backdate a suspension. That's crazy.......I can't see Poland or Sweden changing their results either."

KO Cup 2001 Poole v Coventry - Cegielski hunting Hamill and Tacey for 4 laps and taking both on the line!!

As opposed to the Kings Lynn v Poole 1st leg which Poole also won!! I think the mods should close this unnecessary thread now - the SCB has spoken!
