Bream Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I would point at "new" silencers. You have to go all-in all the time. Cant change lines, cant slow down or you end up on the passanger seat of your own bike going towards wall or the guy next to you. There isnt a rider who would take mid rev control vs. speed at full rpm. Points = money, with fast bike you get points and to race you need money. Change system towards limited monthly wage and races towards Tour de France if you want safety over speed. Havent tried 2015 silencers. I hope they will bring some more control for the rider.

Ghostwalker Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) From what I have heard, 2015 silencers are not as bad as the previous generation of silencers. The source is an interview with Morgan Andersson, team manager for the Swedish national team. It was from one of these podcast episodes, obviously one from 2015. http://sverigesradio.se/sida/avsnitt?programid=4265 Edited July 31, 2015 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Bend Bunching Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Air fences, save lives and careers on a weekly basis I think....... definitely the reason you can have a 44year old World Champion... the problem with air fences is that if the bike goes in first they are a waste of time. I believe this is why Lewis Kerr was so badly injured at the fours. The bike punctured the air fence and left him to hit the wooden fence behind.The bags should all be filled with foam or polystyrene so there is something left in them if the bike goes in first.

SCB Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 the problem with air fences is that if the bike goes in first they are a waste of time.

This logic amazes me. Rider and bike hit airfence. Bike removed air fence. Rider hits fence. But not time the rider does hit an air fence. Now get rid of air fences and I'll guarentee that 100% of the time the rider will hit the fence behind. So there is no problem with air fences. They are better than no air fence at all.
