I was watching his line, and you could see it coming. Just surprised he didn't, and didn't try to take evasive action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can decide not to impose it. If they don’t impose it, they answer to the sponsor or sponsors who Zmarzlik’s breach was at the expense of. Imagine the liquid damages associated with breaching a contract of a sport being streamed live on Eurosport. I repeat: naive to blame the GP organisers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 So, there are now no riders who have ever won a World Championship riding in this meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give the bloke a race jacket and fine him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 Disqualifying a rider for that reason is an absolute joke, there is no credibility left in the sport. It stinks of manipulation. Moving on, that was an awful crash for Doyle. I hope all the treatment is precautionary and that he is not badly hurt and wish him well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 It doesn’t matter if we have never heard of Infinite Reality. The fact that they have been prepared to splash the cash on speedway is great news and Zmarzlik has abused the rules. If he got away with it then all other riders would as well and the sponsorship would be lost and a possible lawsuit appearing which would kill off the sport. The fact that the WC and leader of the series broke the rules is even worse imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a rule, an UNDERSTANDABLE rule, and all the riders know of the rule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfsbane Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 32 minutes ago, TheWellBehavedWorrall said: Exactly. Any frustration aimed at the GP organisers naive. Speedway requires as many sponsors as it can get and those sponsors - Monster, for example - will have their world class Contracts department implement specific advertising requirements into the GP T&Cs, to the finest detail. For the world champion to not bother his arse, the GP organisers have to apply the rules and implement their sponsor’s terms. A wild oversight from Zmarzlik, or a tactical move to ensure a world title win on home soil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
