arnieg 3,603 Posted August 11, 2019 It actually seems a reasonable outcome to me, although I see Kyle Newman appears to have got away with his later misdemeanours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cook should have stopped but the steward should not have moved in front of a bike with no brakes. That’s the exit from the pits. The entrance is halfway down the back straight. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted August 11, 2019 Shame any of them were banned,, they should have got them in a ring for the Ben fund. Speedway often had dust ups and face offs,, was great for crowd, but it seems now most of the crowd are a bunch of snowflakes wanting riders banned. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KEITH M 850 Posted August 11, 2019 27 minutes ago, 2ndbendbeerhut said: So Cook misses 16th and 17th for Glasgow and then 19th and 22nd for Kings Lynn. That's if the ban is for all racing and not subject to a sub clause that means it only applies to the CL And 18th at Sheffield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish McRaker 600 Posted August 11, 2019 That Marshal was dumb to walk in front of a 500cc bike & rider. Eastbourne should be fined by the HSE and ordered to train their Marshals properly. The riders were also dumb and beside being brought to book for being unprofessional, probably breached SCB regulations. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
