iNikeAguero Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) Clever move or was it bad riding? He was in 2nd but then pulled a 360 turn in order to finish 3rd and let Holder use the Joker.

He was in 2nd but then pulled a 360 turn in order to finish 3rd and let Holder use the Joker. Ward, before the rerun, said 'Batch to do his job then we've got Chris, Chris and Big Ginge'. No mention of Schlein. Justice was done. Edited July 9, 2011 by Barney Rabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Why Boycey left it so his riders had to throw races I don't know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcham Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Why Boycey left it so his riders had to throw races I don't know! Absolutely clueless team management. Boyce should be transported to Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris41 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 If I recall he had two opportunities with Ward and Holder on the inside when they were 6 pts down and low and behold they both won! I was shot down when I said Boycie cost Australia the world cup a few years ago and tonight proves again his inability to cope under pressure when making critical decisions.

spencebel Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 If Troy did mean to do it! He was very close to BOTH wheels being over the white line.. Also think any team will do what the Aussie's tried to do. It is in the rules, isn't it???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCookie Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Probably not. Just not good enough to beat the German, or for the SWC in general like Schlein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ward had already given the game away. Tho it`s hard to tell because Batchelor isnt good enough in that company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 The best and only thing Boyce ever did was Smash Gollob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 ward does imply it in interview and as batchelor comes back in pits after fall boyce does say something to him ,and batchelors reaction is a pissed off one , but why make a pass and then nearly fall and nearly go over white line ,an over locking bike is not a way to throw a race ,its a way to break a collarbone if the bike suddenly reacts and throws you over ,so i dont think it was on purpose ,but boyce made a bad call not using the joker earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerblues Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 After Darcy's interview it was pretty obvious what Troy had to do, though I'm not sure he meant to nearly end up on the centre green Terrible from Boyce, don't know what he was waiting for, he had some good opportunities to use it a lot earlier.

iNikeAguero Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Ward had already given the game away. Tho it`s hard to tell because Batchelor isnt good enough in that company. Batchelor is still a league above Tai Woffinden. Batchelors First Race - 2nd place before Engine Failure Batchelors 2nd Race - 3rd Place Batcherlos 3rd Race - 2 Points Batchelors 4th Race - 2 Points before Tactical move. Basically he got 7 points from 4 rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Other than coming within a whisker of being World Champion in 1994. His punch was precise though, no coming within a whisker there. He planted it perfectly.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batchelor could only hope to be at a level that Woffy is already. Basically Batchelor scored 4 points . Clearly not good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Templeton Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Other than coming within a whisker of being World Champion in 1994. And being Poole's all time highest points scorer.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 It is what I call 'legal cheating'. What they did was within the rules, so nothing can be done about it. Had it happened without the petulant brats interview moments before I might not have thought much of it, but put the two together and it seems it was a team tactic to bring in Holder to go for 6 points next time out. Easy way to solve it.. get rid of the stupid double points joker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
