allthegearbutnaeidea Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 All they did was pop round the tapes not cross the centre green like lyager did. They probably went a foot over the grass, never an exclusion and marge made correct callHenning Bager done just that at Newcastle and got excluded and we couldn't have a reserve replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Henning Bager done just that at Newcastle and got excluded and we couldn't have a reserve replacement Scunny were allowed to bring in a reserve....

Albert Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Scunny were allowed to bring in a reserve.... I despair with the rules of speedway. Â Rule 5.4.4 clearly states... No Motorcycle to be ridden on the Infield nor in the Pits (except the designated area). What it doesn't say (or at least I don't think it does) is what the penalty is for committing such an offence. Mondays Ref suggested the offence is dealt with in the same way as any other starting offence... therefore 15m or a reserve replacement.

Baldyman Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 So if a riders bike is sick does he now have to dismount and push it onto the centre green or stay on the track? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 So if a riders bike is sick does he now have to dismount and push it onto the centre green or stay on the track? A very good point, good our rulebook isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgy Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 So if a riders bike is sick does he now have to dismount and push it onto the centre green or stay on the track? If his bike is sick I guess he is out of the race. Surely pushing a dead / poorly bike to the edge of the green is quite different to riding on it.
