How about we got a Brit at the top of the standings going for a third world title!! Holder did ok but he is an Aussie so couldnt really give a stuff about his form. Im only interested in Tai and Cook Very ironic considering you seem to have a dig at Brady Kurtz every other day on the Poole topic?? Also, Lindgren is currently top of the standings not Tai.

He certainly "squeezed" Pawlicki up though and left him nowhere to go,he was behind him ,not really along side him. Think the ref got it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also not sure about cheating being the right word more down to nerves IMO and who wants to see a 3 rider final when 4 is better. I see your point about nerves playing a part.

Think the ref got it right. Pawlicki "squeezed" himself up. He had the entirety of the bend and opted to go where he did. Nobody forced him there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPEEDY69 1,238 Posted May 14, 2018 4 hours ago, Vince said: In this case I can't see a single thing Doyle could have done to avoid the accident, he was on a decent line and the bike is settled and stable. If anybody was at fault it was Pawlicki as he was the one changing line and who was into the back of Woffinden. However in truth I don't think he did anything wrong either it was a pure racing incident and a case where all 4 should be allowed in the re-run in my opinion. Front wheel going over the white line is just another technique in my opinion, one that some do better than others and is no more or less dangerous than running people wide when going for the dirt. I agree and felt that Pawlicki was actually the cause - he tried to cut underneath Woffinden when Doyle was already there - he should have moved to a wider line. Totally harsh on Doyle and the wrong decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topaz325 1,827 Posted May 14, 2018 Tough decision for the ref but I think he made the right one .... and took an age to tell everyone!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some excellent racing with Holder doing very well. Thought Woffindens childish behaviour was very poor before the final. Firstly how can you complain about Tai's behavior when he not only goes out and wins it but wins it in that style!??!! Secondly, watch the last 2 Prague GPs. Far from boring Sir. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see the merit in that. WE all want a level start so why encourage something that may stop it. If riders try to cheat they must expect to be penalised. True. And they usually get caught, resulting in further minutes of waiting for the heat. re-running for ages is no good. Happy to see the warning rule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yet it took a few viewings and quite a bit of discussion from the pundits before they saw it. I think he was right to take his time and make sure he was excluding the correct man as it was a close call. Just my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'm misinterpreting this, but I'm not sure bring sat in the stadium gives you the best view to analyse who touched the tapes first. Yes, the exclusion was correct, but it took a few views to notice that the other rider (Laguta, I think) also touched the tapes. My guess on the hold up was about deciding whether or not to exclude them both. Seemed pretty clear cut to me, though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
