scottyfan Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Why can't the three remaining riders take one of Hampels rides, thus no need for a reserve or suspicion of underhand tactics. About the only thing the BSPA have got right in the last few years is the IRR rule.....Surely the SWC could use this too....No reserve needed then!!

Ghostwalker Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Are we really going to have the final in Denmark and Poland all the time ? . We had the final in Sweden a couple of years ago which was a disaster since it had been raining for a week straight. We've also had the final in Cze Rp, a couple of years ago. Possible there will be a final in the UK within a couple of years but the main problem is that there aren't that many countries that are able to stage it.

TheReturn Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I don't see the problem declaring a fifth reserve rider? They can be used any time, any reason by a manager but just once per block of four rides. Down to the manager then to use tacticall then.

weatherwatcher Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 The fact being, that the Poles where unable to take the rides for Hampel lost them the meeting. What a stupid rule, that the other 3 riders could cover for him in his heats. The rule needs to be changed next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 As has been mentionedby a few others so long as the number of rides is limited for the reserves so that that cant take more than if named in the team whats the problem? Seems that on Twatter Freddie L is defending the move made by Linus claiming the Russian wasnt entitled to try to make the pass and shouldve backed off. Says the gap wasnt there to go for. And there was me thinking he was at least level down most of the straight and about a wheel ahead at the time of impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I'll admit watching live I thought the Russian tried to go through a gap that wasn't there, but just one replay showed as clear as day he was fenced by Sundstrom. Surely the ref would watch at least one replay before making a decision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie B Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Does anyone who was at Event 1 have the correct score for the Russian and Czech Republic teams, as there's a lot of confusion regarding there riders points on different websites Edited June 7, 2015 by Robbie B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 @FLindgren66: Only problem I saw with the incident last night are that Linus was to nice. Next time I'll tell him he needs to slam the door properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 The act of slaming riders into the fence should be stopped, what I saw of the incident, it was lucky that the Russian came off as light has he did and to be excluded for something that Linus did and he was the one that caused the stoppage and also the injury to Hampel he was the one who should have buded, not only that but I feel very strongly about, the act of fencing riders, that I feel the only way to put a stop to this, which could very easily give serious injuries to the rider being fenced that the rider who deliberately fences another rider should be ruled out of any more races in that meeting.

Many thanks for your time, this finally puts the riders points confusion to an end. This confirms that the scores I have in my game for these two teams are now correct. How the SGP website can get its own meeting score wrong on their website is beyond me. Here are my pics from Gniezno: http://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/737/speedway-world-cup-van-start-zweden-wint-event-1.html OveFundinFan results are correct according to the official results which came in this morning. Many thanks for your time. Some took some great pictures on the day wish I was there. Your scores match what most websites have stated expect for the official SGP website that has incorrect results in their own run events. I'm happy now that I have the correct information for my fun SWC game on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Does anyone who was at Event 1 have the correct score for the Russian and Czech Republic teams, as there's a lot of confusion regarding there riders points on different websites My reply is a bit late, I know, but the official results can always be found on the FIM Website, in the Library link. http://www.fim-live.com/en/library/ You can narrow your search by Document Type = Results and Owner = CCP Will help if you know the IMN No. ATB Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 So nobody has mentioned the over watering of the track. Caused plenty of problems for the riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabbsjoe Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 what is the point in naming a 10 man squad and having 5 riders present at the track on the day of the meeting if 1 of them can't be used as a proper reserve. joker should either be scrapped or if it's kept should only be used if 8 or 10 points behind so that you can gain ground on the leaders but not draw level with them if they were to finish last in that heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite me emailing them on Sunday informing them about it they still have not changed their result details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 It is also a little odd that the referee cannot complete the programme notation correctly either. Jarek Hampel should be FN in Heat 4 not F. This may seem over pedantic. But this is an FIM event, and these are the Official signed off results; so you would think that the ref would be able to get it right. It's not actually difficult is it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
