Rules For Tapes Exclusion - Different Scenarios - Help.

[a4poster 82]

Hi, can I ask the following regarding the rules:

 

If a rider touches the tapes the Team Manager can either bring in the reserve or send the original rider back of 15 meters.

 

Now, if the 15 meter option is chosen and the rider goes before the green light would the re-run then be held with just 3 riders only?

 

Or, if the Manager brings in a reserve and he breaks the tapes can he be replaced by the other reserve or would this be with 3 riders only or would the reserve be allowed to go off 15 metres?

 

And finally in theory could more than one rider go off 15 metres?

 

Thanks.

1. Yes, 3 riders only as an offence can only be committed twice.

2. As above, 3 riders only as it's deemed a 2nd offence.

3. Yes & no - in the 2016 EL at least in the 1st 14 heats, if a rider is already occupying gate 4 from 15m only a reserve switch or 3 riders only is available if a different rider cause the offence.

In Heat 15 if a rider commits a starting offence they can go from 15 meters in their original gate position (gates 1-4) or use a reserve replacement.

All 4 riders in heat 15 can effectively start from 15 meters.

I seem to recall an instance where there was a start infringement & the said rider was going off 15m. Later, as the 3 remaining riders were not ready at 2 minutes, all 4 were punished resulting in all 4 starting, level, back at the tapes.

In heat 4 of the 2016 PL, the number 7s were protected and could not be replaced.

Are these gas, leccy or water meters?

Who knows ....

Steve Johnston at Oxford got put back 15m

Was then adjudged to have made a starting infringement and put back a further 10m

He won the race

Due to being 21 and a fair bit I can't remember at the moment who it was against

Lucifer Sam no doubt can fill in all the details
