No, the beat the 2 mins all you have to do is actually be on the track, not actually at the tapes. Riders then eventually get to the tapes and start gardening, many times the green lights arent coming on till minutes after the 2 mins ended.

Really? I'm sure they used to have to be ready to race at the end of the 2 minutes. That's a bit daft then, if they can still do that after the 2 minutes has expired.

What annoys me is when the riders get called back for a false start they go through the procedure of topping up tanks and adjusting chains, etc., and this is after just a few dozen yards of racing. All riders should go straight back to the start, all bikes should have enough fuel in them for this eventuality and as for adjusting chains and clutches it should be the same for them all if none of this play acting took place. Nobody should be allowed to have a full service and MOT.  False start = 1 minute for ALL riders to get back to the tapes.

Good point, I mean there are plenty of times when they have enough fuel for a couple of post race laps pulling wheelies and doing donuts, so definitely no need for refuelling..  One minute allowance would be ideal

I also thought that was the rule, ready to race before the clock counted down to zero,  I've seen riders excluded when on the track on their way round to the starting gate.

Keep the faith Mr Clemens

 

I do my best reason I am 'forcing' myself to watch it :)

I am expecting both finals to be great meetings 

The problem was I was expecting the semis to be great meetings has they have been in the past and they weren't.
