dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I did mention to The Scotsman the deceptive angle of the finish line despite sitting directly in line,(albeit the other side of the stadium) - funnily enough he wasnt buying it! Not the first time the rider on the inside given the nod when didnt look (to us anyway) he had quite got it - there may be something in that angle after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Hopefully it will be that race they show on the bspa site, so can see for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another conspiracy in the long list of anti-Monarchs conspiracies. #lollipopgate rather than #startinggate I should have upped the ante and offered a pack of party rings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Maybe he won by the width of a wagon wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly didn't look like it from dead in line with the starting gate on the back straight. I sit in the home straight stand right in line with the start and Connor just beat Garcia. The ref was spot on with her decisions except for excluding Joel Andersson when it was a classic case of first bend bunching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Too many times riders go down after "1st bend bunching" and get reruns. To me Andersson got into trouble on outside and was cause of stoppage. On any other lap he would have been excluded..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Video of the race on bspa, it's clear to see that conner doesn't win by half a wheel, not even a bit of a wheel. Pause it and zoom in and you will see he doesn't win at all. Must be a dodgy angle on the home straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mons should appeal and demand the meeting be rerun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all meetings were re run that had been 'fixed' in this way there would be a backlog a couple of decades long with Edinburgh close to the top of the list 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
