When did Vinnie think Jody was going to turn, he expected him to keep going straight until he got past? 

To be fair to the kid Jody was turning very early.

Still think Vinnie should have been excluded

someone has said it was the same part of the straight where masters was turning

one could argue that scott was in front and can turn when he likes within reason

That is correct he can and he doesn’t do anything wrong but the fact remains he was the one who turned into foord

From where we were all sitting, to the left of the refs box, it looked to all of us that Tobias led having come under Killeen, with Vinnie following through. Killeen was in third on the outside and tried to go for a gap that wasn’t there. His front wheel then caught on Vinnie’s foot rest sending him down. None of us thought for a moment that Foord would be excluded and the ref thought the same. It was no surprise to us when the white light came on. 

Having watched it back it’s more of a 50/50, but Killeen was always the likely one to go as he was behind. Yes, it was a hard move by Foord but nothing you don’t see in any Extraleague Polish meeting. No quarter was given. Killeen thought he had to try and go for a gap, and Foord thought you are not getting back around me. Think some are being swayed by Greg Blair’s opinion on BSN. 

 

Just because Foord was slightly ahead, doesn't mean he can ride where he likes, he has clearly caused the crash, You then say Jody Scott was a fault for turning in but he was also ahead, make up your mind.

Martin Dixon was very harem scarem in his early years. Hence the nickname "Mad Dog Dicko". Strangely avoided serious injuries. Until Press and Practice day 1988. When he suffered serious arm injuries. David Blackburn was signed as replacement for Dicko. Long standing fans will remember how that went.
