Too much dirt on it from what I could see, although I openly admit I’m no track expert. The only faller prior to the work being done was Kyle in heat 2. I reckon the home team weren’t happy but when it was completed it was announced that both team captains were happy with the remedial work that had been completed.

The promotion have done a terrific job getting the track to this point and I believe this was just a mishap that won’t be repeated. Disappointed not to go through and have a sour taste at the way in which Redcar went about things with r/r for Bacon when Anderson should’ve been riding. I also could be wrong but reckon they were deliberately moving at the tapes to put off the rider on the outside of them - 4 times it happened. Unfortunately Kyle had a rare off night and losing Jensen for the first leg has cost us. A couple of positives - Conor looks like he’s improving every lap and the bend 3 bump seems to have been sorted! Back to the league next week with a guest required for Kyle! Taken it well I see. I’d respectfully suggest your point about the Bears moving to put the rider next to them off is wrong and the sour taste in your mouth is actually sour grapes. Nothing at all under hand about Andersen not riding tonight (he had a decent meeting in Denmark tonight though if you are interested) Edited July 5, 2019 by Yearbyred 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regarding Bacon Glasgow would have done the same thing in that situation.No rules broken. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think any riders have complained about the track until tonight. There's always the odd comment especially from riders that haven't done so well but tonight required lots of work and it was announced the ref thought it best to get it done early hence thedelay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If riders deliberately move the referee warns them, then if they do it again they get excluded - like Stewart was tonight. There’s 2 of your “deliberate” tactics straight away ( neither of which benefitted the Bears). Edited July 5, 2019 by Yearbyred 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
