For an unsatisfactory start Sedgmen wouldn't be excluded for falling. If Sedgmen had to return to the pits because of the fall, the remaining 3 riders can also return to the pits.

Tarasenko went back into the pits while Sedgy was receiving attention, the other 2 stayed on the track. Then the ref put all 4 back in. Can you declare an unsatisfactory start when riders are coming out of bend 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if a rider rolls or anticipates the start but comes out 4th, they will still be deemed as "gaining an advantage" if another rider falls. It's all referees discretion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 I enjoyed the meeting, second time at Leicestet this season & on behalf of the paying public I would like to thank Mr Jarvis for having the balls to exclude Iversen in HT15 for delaying the start. If more refs did this I'm sure riders would stop arsing around & it would give us fans one less thing to moan about 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackney Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 I know we got well beaten tonight, but if the panthers folded I couldn't go and watch Leicester at this track, little overtaking and no dirt on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leicester riders had no problem overtaking. The reason there was less than on my previous visit was how uncompetitive the away team were.

The Leicester track seems have taken quite a step backwards this year in my opinion. It's not been the same since the "improvements" over the close season and more often than not this season I have gone home covered in dust!

The only crap left after each meeting are the so called 7 riders which we are unfortunately forced to watch for our £22.00. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Poor night from a Panthers team that little has gone right for from the start of the season but I do agree with Rob Lyon that you do need other things to be right for a good night of speedway and the first of those is a decent track. The Leicester track was a disgrace, super slick, dry and dusty and produced little passing after bends one and two of the opening lap, it was exactly the same for the Pairs last week so clearly that’s the norm. Jarvis also had a poor meeting with some very strange decisions ( especially the farce in heat 6) and making a point of excluding Iversen in heat 15 for delaying the start when all 14 riders had done exactly the same for the previous 14 races was frankly ridiculous. I observed all the riders off their bikes at the start trying to establish a decent start, surely if you wanted to make a point the first four heats would have been the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly because passing at Leicester is fairly reliant on riders making mistakes and in the PL simply fewer riders make mistakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riders are allowed off their bike. But ignoring the Start Marshal's requests to join the other three riders at the start is delaying the start. Ignoring the flashing green light is delaying the start. The fans around me welcomed the decision. A man in a Peterborough top in ear shot remarked about bloody time, he's been doing it all season. At least the Leicester Start Marshal appears to know the rules unlike our lot. Edited July 7, 2023 by SJA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
