He went from smoking the Pirates to being slapped about by them. It was bizarre. What happened to his first bike? I saw him out doing a practice lap after heat fifteen and before the parade which is unusual.

" Lee Complin had 6 rides had a fall and problems with his steel shoe 7 rides in 14 races is extremely difficult" Without meaning to sound mean to Cami or Complin, that's literally his job. A reserve for a team using r/r has to be prepared for 7 rides. The most important meeting if the year, gotta make sure he can do 7 heats if needed, ask the club for help with a mechanic, make sure 2 bikes are set up, club could plan when to grade the track to give him extra time. It could end up being the difference between winning the league & finishing second. Edited October 10, 2023 by szkocjasid 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petecc Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Never understand the term "spare bike". In the olden days there was a track spare, an old nail that was left in the corner. Now most have 2 race prepared bikes to every meeting. They may prefer one over the other but, its never a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took out Pijper, but didn’t as much as acknowledge him as he passed him on his return to the pits. He the retired in heat six, but didn’t actually leave the track; he just casually leaned his bike on the inside of the back straight. He then chucked the towel in while in last in fourteen; something no young rider should do. Trivial this morning, but I was a bit like “what the f*ck?” last night. To be fair, I did tell four colleagues who I encouraged to attend last night that I thought Joe Thompson was highly regarded during the parade - I’d never seen him ride, but heard good things - so my observation wasn’t exactly justified by his performance. Joe probably let heat 2 get into his head. Most Glasgow fans probably thought it was a rightful exclusion while Poole fans though it was a harsh decision with Joe in front at the time of Ace's off! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure there can be a great deal of argument against his exclusion from heat two. The frustration should come from the fact that he was clearly quicker than Pijper, so would almost inevitably have passed him, had he not clipped him.

Exactly what I thought. It was late and time for kip early start so I just had to sign off. I'd always thought it was exactly as others were saying but had quoted somebody else that assured this was now the current rule. But yeah I thought exactly as you've said there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better get ready to salute, lol. I've always thought exactly as everybody saying. But recently somebody said the rule now different, be careful what you read on forums!

What you're failing to acknowledge, and I can understand why, you've nailed your colours to a mast, it's difficult to hold your hands up and say okay I've got this wrong, is that Lee can RR Ace's r/r. Ace does not have to take an r/r. I'm giving you an out. You're technically correct that one of the r/r's is allocated to Ace.
