Totally right i don't disagree Ove not one bit, even Ivan rolled the tapes and he is the best gater i ever saw along with Kilby.Today Ove the rule is a joke a rider guesses right gets pulled back he hits the tapes gets excluded not right for him or the public..Some refs are not letting the tapes go delays galore clutche's ready to burn, i,think if you don't break them and get the tapes up take a risk over a season thing's even there self out.

Re refs holding the tapes longer to try and catch riders...... agreed that went on in some GPs last year. Easy way round that is let a computer determine when the tapes go up - take the human factor out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea it won't happen though Ove, last year going to some meetings for a 7.30 start getting home at some meetings 9.50 or even 10.15 long drawn out affairs forever restarts.

As someone asked -re 1972 WF did Bernie Persson and Briggo ever become friends-despite Briggo's fall - I reckon Mauger sould still have won the 72 Final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
