Stockholm Gp 2017

Nilsson and Zmartzik both move, both get a warning, so that is where the start procedure should stop. What happens after that is not relevant. Woffy should not be excluded even though he was sucker punched into it.

The ref is holding the tapes an awful long time. Going to be a lot more restarts if he keeps holding them this long.

As he is holding them consistently, the riders should realise it and act accordingly

Exactly, they aren't supposed to move until they are released, so no excuses whatsoever.

Nice mature ride from Max Fricke, well done lad..

Amazingly riders over on Twitter blaming the ref, all you ask is that he is consistent which he is so the riders on warnings have only themselves to blame.

 

If Doyle keeps this up he will surely have one hand on the World Championship trophy.

AS he did going into Torun last year and we all know what happened. Surely lightning cannot strike twice.

Easier said than done, especially when you are used to them being held for a shorter period at every other meeting. Ref deliberately trying to catch riders out

[SCB 0]

Surely if a rider moves he race is stopped, so no rider can subsequently touch the tapes? Why is the referee screwing this up so badly?!

same again there , smolinski has already stopped the race before it started so lindback going through the tapes is after the stoppage ??

[PHILIPRISING 7,298]

WHETHER the problem is with the referee or the riders it is all very untidy and unsatisfactory

Exactly. The referee keeps messing this up.

Or riders deliberately trying to second guess the referee and getting it wrong. Just sayin.

What on earth`s going on with Tai, bike stopping at the tapes, no steel shoe, tape touching.
