allthegearbutnaeidea Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 The Reg is : "15.5.2 Where a Referee stops a heat, and the leading Rider has completed at least 2 laps, then s/he has the sole discretion to either order a re-run or award the heat based upon the positions when it was caused to be stopped; Riders, other than the one disqualified being advanced one place" Bridger had completed 2 laps before the red lights came on. Same thing happened at Armadale on Friday when ht2 was awarded. Yes but it was a really close race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case the faller was a Berwick rider, but the team who lost out were Edinburgh who were denied a chance at an additional point. The referees should have the common sense to build that kind of reasoning into their thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
