I cannot see the exact timings but it seems to have taken ages to run 5 heats even before the accident in heat 6, it would be interesting to get timings and delays to the end of heat 5.

Al Stewart 398 Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) It's pretty unbelieveable, bikes started warming up for the rerun of heat 6 at 9:45 and if the updates are to be believed, 25 minutes later they still haven't got on the track. I certainly agree with the poster above. Surely they can't just run it to heat 10 and then expect people to think they have had their moneysworth. Edited July 4, 2018 by Al Stewart Adding a bit!

Invariably you lose but occasionally just occasionally you're a winner. Tonight as usual I'm a loser... Why do tracks run with one ambulance? It seems running r/r so often has now been extended to ambulances add to that a total lack of information for around 45 minutes and then when there is info and interviews the mic keeps pushing up it's no wonder people are streaming out of the stadium! And all this at the home of the tractor driver that's running the sport. 21:50 I'm still here still playing the lottery ATB to Lewis Kings Lynn used to run with two ambulances to reduce the risk of hold ups. Then the medical room was built which was approved as a secondary holding unit so once an injured rider was transferred to this the racing could resume. No idea what has gone wrong tonight to create this long hold up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's gone wrong is that the NHS is broken and it was going to take 3 hours for an ambulance to arrive 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
