SPEEDY69

Was scouring the rule book to check what to do 😊

Huh? Think you've eaten too many skittles 😁 We definitely don't agree on the oh let's forgive him he's only a boy issue and I never called for any further punishment, you must be mixing me up with another poster.

What else do you expect? Any infringement in a race which causes a fall is always an exclusion, if Ray Charles isn't refereeing.

What for Rushen or any other rider that does it? Exclusion from that race.

That's a ridiculous comparison. My choice to form a relationship with one girl when I was 16 was proven not be the best but I fail to see how that's related to racing a bike. Equally a 17 year old driver who's just passed their test may choose to drive around a bend on the opposite side of the road - when they kill others would you shrug it off, oh well they made a bad choice....? Every rider knows turning left on the straight, especially when another rider is so close, is a definite no no.

Nothing to do with age and you shouldn't need to learn by forcing other riders to fall. He chose to move left - it wasn't something outside of his control.

I h000pe he didn't get the part?

Third highest scorer at Sheffield, what does that say about the rest, including our GB star and No.1 😁 I always thought this team would be unpredictable and so far it's turning out that way. As long as they all give it 100% I'm happy, especially after seeing the lack of effort from Foxes riders last night. The only consistent so far is how well King is going.

He should have shot from the hip, would get more talking going and add stuff for media to use.

If they could drop him they should. Lidsey and Batch also dreadful, it's the lack of effort I'd find appalling if I were a Foxes supporter.

Never said it was. It seems some riders just get injured more than others.

What, for the reform or tory clowns? 14 years of their rule has left the country in tatters, and well done Nigel for brexit, what a disaster.

I think BZ may have been starting to turn left on him but i think it makes it good to watch, talking points are what we need.

The way he rides it's a bit tense, will he lose control further or stay on? I think there's a high chance he'll have a few crashes.

No doubt in my mind that many riders refused due to the 'no money/more money elsewhere' angle for the reserve. I would take a different stance where a GB place was concerned and good luck to Cairns, much rather have riders that want to be there - his Grandad's also a lovely fella.

It's a boys name in many places but mostly Italy (their version of Michael). I remember the Ferrari F1 driver Michele Alboreto. Other cross gender names include Vivian, Shirley, Marion and Sydney.

That's his name!

Seems not - from the Stars website preview following the crash the other day "Castagna thankfully avoided any broken bones but he did receive heavy bruising and an ankle injury which rules him out of action."

Should be banned then or will the old 'suffered a reaction' line be used - if it's still a valid excuse?

He really is accident prone🤕

I haven't seen any of the meeting, just reading comments on here but I'm not particularly a fan of video replays. Plenty of contact is made in the sport but much of this is not enough to create a fall but unfortunately I think replays encourage riders to do exactly that as they know they'll get back in the re-run. I've seen it so many times, from Harris in a British Final to Nicki P & Hans A in GPs. Those who choose to stay on, as they should, can feel aggrieved but to fall on purpose risks injury to self and others. There shouldn't need to be a fall for exclusions to occur. As I said, this is not about this particular incident as I haven't seen it.

Was a good meeting to watch and I'd say this is perhaps the best race track in the UK. It wasn't just fastest bike wins, there was a very quick line around the inside as well as it wide surpasses NSS for me. As I expected Morris and Lambert did well, Hagon was better than I though he'd be and Howarth as ever is all action.

It was much better if you were there.

duplicated for some reason

Maybe but Flint is also missing for Glasgow, so it's not just overseas riders affected.
