foreverblue 6,089 Posted August 6, 2019 Ipswich are a very inconsistent team at the moment so could be close or easy win. Harris can be excellent, King an Lawson can be good at Poole too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,634 Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) So on Thursday at Poole (weather permitting) the parade will consist of 12 stationary bikes being lined up on the track - Ippo infront of the startline and Poole behind the startline. Riders will stand behind their bikes on the centre green with their mechanics/helpers and be introduced and announced individually starting with the Ippo Number 7. There will be a track marshall - sometimes the deputy Clerk of the Course - displaying a red flag on the track between the start and the first bend to stop riders riding away too early. Yes thats on the track not on the centre green, just like it happens at many other tracks who have the parade in similar style.

The way it should be at every track so unsavoury incidents like the stupid one at Eastbourne don’t occur. KISS - keep it simple stupid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,634 Posted August 6, 2019 I have every faith in SCB Co-ordinator Neil Vatcher in sorting all the evidence submitted including what he witnessed with his own eyes and reaching the correct conclusion. I just hope it doesn't take too long. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,253 Posted August 6, 2019 1 hour ago, Baldyman said: Ipswich still do As far as I recall, the marshall stands on the centre green holding the rope across the track. When the red lights go on, this gives an instruction to any rider that they must come to a controlled stop, not carry on around another corner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KISS - keep it simple stupid. I have tried to let people know that from my view of the night, that did happen at Eastbourne, someone was down the back straight beyond the rider line up with a red flag out when the intros commenced. I only remember this as the person i was with commented on how big the flag was! No bugger believes me tho. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
