screm 7,989 Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Mr Ward blocked me some time ago on Twitter, and judging by his latest rant its something i`m quite pleased with. Edited March 30, 2019 by screm 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another one talking absolute nonsense. The race started at the exact moment the 2 minute warning expired! In other words, extra time spent gardening? ZERO seconds. Yep, tedious.

If they get to tapes with 10 seconds to go they can garden for 10 seconds The only gripe can be the length of time between races to put the 2 minutes on Im assuming you want the 2 minute warning to come on......no riders appear until 5 seconds to go 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is what you are saying. Riders have two minutes to be at the tapes and ready to race. Every single rider in that race did that and the race begin IMMEDIATELY as the clock hit zero. There is absolutely nothing to complain about. If a rider wishes to get to the start line quickly and do his preparations within the 2 mins that is fine. It is when the gardening continues AFTER the 2 mins has expired where there is an issue. That didn't happen in this case.

No. It won't be all that long as 15 times 3 is only 45. Then you add 15 times 1 for the previous heat to f... off and 30 combined minutes for maintenance of the track. And 10 minutes for the parade. That adds up to 100 mins. Less than a footie match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His pathetic rants at riders since his accident has been disgraceful. Pedersen has more class than Ward or any of his pals ever had and Wards abuse just stinks of jealousy to me.

You've chosen a race that is started with 100% efficiency to complain at. The two minute clock is there for you to view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
