Havnt you got a Somerset thread to go on, instead of hanging round the Poole threads all the time. You would think you was a closit poole fan the amount of time you spend on them.. Anybody with good sensible suggestions regarding the good of sport (like Najjer)are welcome on a King's Lynn thread any day. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parade is when they walk out/go round in the truck and get introduced to the crowd, then they do a few practice laps after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Leicester the riders are introduced riding round the track so if it's not a parade and it's not practice laps I don't know what to call it.

I think all tracks should have practices laps like we do AFTER the parade, it gives the riders a feel of the track and blows away the cobwebs.

Common sense would dictate that 14 riders all on track at full speed at the same time would be a disaster waiting to happen. hot laps are rider doing laps at full speed in relative safety. I thought anyone with with an iota of sense could see the difference. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Not really an argument, I just stated my opinion and some don't like it. That's their problem. And then I have to reply cos they imply things I haven't said, but hey ho never mind. They do this at Poole and I'll miss it anyway as don't get there til 7.15-7.30.

This is what you originally said. It is very different. Riders do practice starts and the odd reasonably fast corner after a standard parade. The Hot Laps concept is three full speed laps from a flying start, at race pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
