Col Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Same thing happened at Bydgoszcz in 2014, no Poland at the race off so there were hardly any folk there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 30 minutes ago, chunky said: He doesn't... However, was it "foul riding", or was it a "racing incident", caused by unexpected grip? And if other rider had come off then he would have been excluded. So back to original question why does a rider have to come off, can be forced into fence and impeded and it’s ok.

I had gone back a few pages, obviously not far enough. Sorted now, thanks I enjoyed that. The format is good, 2x 7 teams gives underdogs a chance as we saw tonight. Impressed with Luke Becker and Marko Levishyn, and Timo Salonen too. No adverts on Discovery +, which means they not relying on adverts to pay for coverage, they after subscriptions. The choice is adverts or not, some grumble about adverts, but we cant have it free of adverts and not pay some other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
