Fell in his first ride and injured an ankle I'm told, although that's second hand information. Max hasn't said on Facebook or Instagram what the injury is Fricke was following Rew when Keynan had a slight out of control moment and Max had to take evasive action but didn't manage to stay upright and hit the track hard. At first I had wondered if it was a shoulder, but I guess we will find out soon enough.

Brady Kurtz set a new track record !! The track had quite a bit of drive and the experienced guys who knew how to set the bike up and ride it were fine. Kurtz and Jack Holder made it look easy although I'm willing to bet it wasn't. Some of the lesser lights struggled with it though. Tough ask when racing with the big boys.

Tungate only 11 at Undera, no extra point because he fell in the final. The rule was changed a couple of years ago so that a rider had to finish the final to record any extra points

There is room for all of Facebook, live updates, and all the other sites that analyse things. As I see it updates is really only about communicating who won and what the heat results & scores are in as quick a time as possible. The dissection, analysis, praising, and criticising can come later. Which ever people see as their favourite or which they think is better is up to them. Some people want every minute detail, some only want to know who won. My only issue is I hate duplication of effort. This year a representative from MA is updating the Australian Championship Facebook page quite soon after it happens, and this is the first year they have done that. If it continues it will reduce the significance of live updates and live updates may end up ceasing altogether, but let it be said live updates has filled a void for about 10 years. We all know of certain sites that have used what was on updates to ghost write articles for their own publications so updates has both directly and indirectly helped spread the word. However, social media like Facebook is the way things are going and the more traditional forums seem to be dying out. I have no issue if updates eventually fades into the background where the Australian Championships are concerned, although those that don’t like Facebook will still look at updates. In 15 years Facebook will probably have had its day as well and we all will have moved on to the next platform anyway.

Woohoo, if sportowefakty are doing updates I can relax and have a night off and enjoy the racing. Do you mind if I add the link to the live updates site ?
