Doyle and vaculik both on warning , woffinden twice jumps the start and no warning

 

Woffinden hasn't jumped the start once actually, he tried and failed. He punished himself both times, rather than gain an advantage and cause the race to be stopped... which is what the warning is for.

Spot the monster rider

 

Spot the folks not grasping the rule.

Gate 4 - 13 points from 16 races (no wins need I say). A graveyard

 

P.S. I don't think the riders need a spreadsheet to know not to pick that one!

Nicholls another who doesn't understand the new rule.

 

The rule is for delaying the start. As such, if you move, lose out and the race isn't stopped you have not delayed the start. Simple.

 

In the second case.. Tai moves, then Vaculik goes.. had Vaculik touched the tapes, he would be excluded, that has always been the case. Again, the race wasn't stopped because Tai moved, it was stopped because Vaculik got a flyer. So he was correctly warned.

totally agree that is the letter of the law so to speak.

Perhaps harsh when a rider is suckered into moving but a correct decision within the rules.

yeah, felt a bit sorry for him as he was sent a dummy. maybe we'll see some of that in the future as a tactical move.
