You obviously didn't have to sit watching 3 tractors and various trucks going round and round and round and round, riders and ref visiting the track. Redcar did what was needed, congratulations to them. I just want to know what happened during the week that caused so many problems tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also could be wrong but reckon they were deliberately moving at the tapes to put off the rider on the outside of them - 4 times it happened. Unfortunately Kyle had a rare off night and losing Jensen for the first leg has cost us. A couple of positives - Conor looks like he’s improving every lap and the bend 3 bump seems to have been sorted! Back to the league next week with a guest required for Kyle! What was wrong with the track? Were the HOME riders complaining. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson was not available tonight due to a prior commitment so was never going to sign till tomorrow.

Thought Glasgow had done enough to see job done at Ashfield. Track reading reports seems to have been a leveller. re Kyle; better having a guest for Kyle than having a Kyle for a guest.

Too much dirt on it from what I could see, although I openly admit I’m no track expert. The only faller prior to the work being done was Kyle in heat 2. I reckon the home team weren’t happy but when it was completed it was announced that both team captains were happy with the remedial work that had been completed.

I’d respectfully suggest your point about the Bears moving to put the rider next to them off is wrong and the sour taste in your mouth is actually sour grapes. Nothing at all under hand about Andersen not riding tonight (he had a decent meeting in Denmark tonight though if you are interested) Edited July 5, 2019 by Yearbyred 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding Bacon Glasgow would have done the same thing in that situation.No rules broken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any riders have complained about the track until tonight. There's always the odd comment especially from riders that haven't done so well but tonight required lots of work and it was announced the ref thought it best to get it done early hence thedelay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If riders deliberately move the referee warns them, then if they do it again they get excluded - like Stewart was tonight. There’s 2 of your “deliberate” tactics straight away ( neither of which benefitted the Bears). Edited July 5, 2019 by Yearbyred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
