dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted September 5, 2018 I have seen that video this morning and quite happy to retract my original comment I would now put the move in Cat 1 (brave) and agree the decision was not clear cut Indeed I would concede its 50/50 (but no more ) It just shows how difficult it can be for a referee paticularly with no replay Our angle on the back straight opposite the starting gate narrows the width perception so to us it looked that BWD tried for a gap that wasnt there (which isnt the case) The video angle of course loses the depth perception and you dont get the feel of just how far back BWD came from - he closed by 15m+ off bend 4 to the start line Riss was on a natural line and ahead - BWD saw a gap (which started very big) and went for it carrying significantly more speed A pure racing incident Still think the decision was correct - just Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BluTiger 21,661 Posted September 5, 2018 Hard to see how BWD can be blamed for that, i'm glad that ref is not my motor insurance adjudicator 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was still 5 yards between Riss and the fence that BWD chose not to use - instead he misjudged the gap and he hit Riss PS - Im enjoying the rosy glow through my tinted specs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riss was the cause of the crash full stop, it would be interesting to know if Vardy has seen that footage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was quite similar to the Nicholls/Pedersen(Bjarne) from a few years back Nicholls (in the BWD role) was excluded there too I am happy to concede your point and agree Riss was actually a touch fortunate !
