Mark Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 the SWC was today won by Poland but they had use of a joker but Australia were penalised by being in front and riding to win. Crump tried to beat the Pole in heat 22 which shot themselves in the foot Australia were the better team and should have won get rid of jokers polish home track as well so its a stupid rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it will never go... as it helps to produce dramatic climaxes like we just saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Don't get rid of the Joker rule, make it 8 or 10 points behind before using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Both teams were daft today, Poland had couple of good chances to use joker earlier on when they went 6 points down twice, Crump should have known or been told no point beating kasprzak by 1 point as they could use joker.

That was a terrible tactical move by Crump to Pass Kasper, they had the Poles beat until that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree completley, Boyce as team manager should have made Crump aware of the consequences of beating the pole. Sorry the Aussies lost it with a lack of tactical awareness, letting the poles win it!!

Racing not to win is in effect cheating. If the jokers were taken out of the system, then these daft situations would not arise in the first place.
