boz 315 Posted September 1, 2018 I believe it is due to Sheffield using rider replacement last night. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I can see, they used R/R for James Shanes, who was representing GB at the World Longtrack Team Cup, which is an FIM event, so can't see what Sheffield have done wrong (if this is what is being asked).

boz 315 Posted September 1, 2018 On the Scunny - Sheffield thread, someone has posted the rule which suggests there is only a facility for the day of the longtrack meeting (which is today). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok. I thought (obviously incorrectly it seems) you could miss 24 hours either side of the event (presumably for travel arrangements to get to and from far off places), Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the case Chris Harris should be at Sheffield on Sunday, or be fined! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cue Ball 416 Posted September 1, 2018 The rule quoted in the Scunny-Sheffield thread appears to be in relation to the individual long track championship, not the world team longtrack which Harris and Shanes are riding in today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or perhaps he should have said, I don't want to represent my country and win a silver medal, Iwould rather go to Sheffield. Many posts on this forum bemoan the fact there is not enough international type meetings and also why is the UK so poor when riding abroad. and yet we get this type of post. Once again give me strength Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once again give me strength Personally I have nothing against Harris missing Sunday because of representing GB in the longtrack. To his credit he was at Glasgow on Friday night. It was just a statement that according to the FIM or BSPA rules a facility for him to be missing 24 hours before and/or after the event would apparently not exist. A club is bemoaning the fact that another club were granted a facility for a rider (in the longtrack as well) missing a league meeting 24 hours beforehand where it appears no facility is allowed. Either it is allowed or not. Simple. They can't both be right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
