Similar to ht15 at Edinburgh. Have you got any pictures of that ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bringbackHalifax 236 Posted June 18, 2018 Was good to see Newcastle grading the track in between heats where the Monarchs rider had two on the bounce. Doesn’t happen at all tracks. Fair play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See that the '15 mtere handicap thing' was again debatable, ht4 after E Riss binned it and the Diamonds clearly on a 5-1, Ruml wasn't put on 15mts in the re-run !!!,,, there is just no consistency nowadays “Nice photos and video of your 5/1?” Get well soon Erik Edited June 19, 2018 by Gr8scot Error Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although the incidents may not have had the same impact, the refereeing decisions were of a similar nature and correct in my opinion.

It was worrying to see him sitting in his chair with the lights on but no one at home. I spoke with his mechanic, erik didn't even know where he was (perhaps a good thing) lol he was knocked unconscious, after the meeting they went to Edinburgh a&e didn't get out till 3am.

Angles can be deceiving, it appeared a 3- 3 entering bend 3, but by the start of bend 4 it was a 5-1,,, when was the race stopped ? If he had have went to a local A&E, he might have been out before 3am. so don't try and milk it, just saying like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although the incidents may not have had the same impact, the refereeing decisions were of a similar nature and correct in my opinion. Is the ruling ( I stand to be corrected ) not about what position the riders are in but more so that if the referee deems the falling rider did not make a proper attempt to clear the track. If your knocked unconscious he probably had a pretty good excuse. Its to try and stop riders who fall at the back when they are getting 1-5d and just staying down for a re run I believe.
