stewmac Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 I can't for the life of me understand why this place still gets a GP. It's awful, even when it's dry. This is pathetic. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pathetic. Ditto the last round, it's ridiculous, I'd rather watch 5 rounds on Polish tracks than put up with this garbage. Got to feel for all those fans, pi$$ wet through and probably not even being updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 If the riders had refused to race i imagine we would have been flooded with complaints about modern riders not being prepared to race in the wet... I agree would happily see this called off. As it is just hope everyone completes the meetinh safely. Looks like Belle Vues luck continues... Anyone else think they should hsve awarded the first running of heat 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly, as the race was in the late stages and was virtually decided, with Vaculick well clear & Hancock a long way behind. I've seen races awarded with much less distance between the riders, without the crash it's unlikely that order would have changed.

Anyone else think they should hsve awarded the first running of heat 4? " Come on, come on, listen to the moneytalk...." which means that this will be called off but not until they have enough heats for the result to count. I think it was the last year at Ullevi in Gothenburg where it rained as well and they (FIM/BSI) didn't call it off until after 12 heats coz' the result was then valid and thus they didn't have to repay ticket money. As for heat 4, IIRC heats cannot be awarded in the SGP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 I thought it changed a couple of years back to allow it. Maybe first needs to have finished when the red lights go on? It just seemed commonsense, especially in these conditions. But if the rules dont allow it it's obviously a no go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
