Navigator1900 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Any ideas what was the technical reason? What was wrong with his bike just after the start? Must be a minor problem as he could use the same bike for the run-off. Something to do with his fuel (methanol)? Fueltap ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KT on commentary suggested that his back wheel had not been tightened properly and that caused the chain to come off .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) That was said of someone else in an earlier race, can’t remember which. If that was Freddie’s fault too that would be strange, two in one meeting. Edited October 5, 2020 by OveFundinFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindgren would have sealed the silver medal with a top-three finish on the night, but he suffered a mechanical failure at the start line in the final, forcing him into a run-off with Woffinden, which the Brit won. The Orebro-born ace revealed a curburettor issue halted him at the cruellest of moments. But he takes heart from matching the bronze medal he achieved in 2018 and was pleased to mount a strong title challenge throughout 2020.

LagutaRacingFan Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Has anyone else found it strange how we get fewer engine failures in the sport? Kind of ruins the entertainment. Nothing more exciting than seeing a rider leading until the last lap and their engine blows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 While we're talking technical, nothing to do with Freddie, but when the riders fiddle with something just under the saddle what are they doing? And on a completely unrelated topic... has anybody noticed that more often than not in the Swedish televised meetings heat 1 is a false start must be a good 75% of the time (seems like it anyway)!

Rob B Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 On a slightly different note, I was surprised Freddie performed so well at weekend knowing his wife had gone into labour on Friday in a foreign country on her own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
