Jonny the spud 2,281 Posted August 15, 2019 Great to know that any rider can be a complete Bell end now, start a fight and get away with it now that a precedent has been set. Or does it depend who you get on your knees for ? 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,779 Posted August 15, 2019 Can’t see where any of the accused have got away with anything yet. Everybody should have a right of appeal whatever they have done. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted August 15, 2019 Going by the rules broken as stated & the reasoning behind the bans, Cook got away with it at the 4's so I think the bans are too close. Possibly 6 or 8 for Vissing & Kennett. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redlead 104 Posted August 15, 2019 Maybe Cooke was encouraged to appeal so the bans on him and Vissing would be staggered, thus lessening the effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted August 15, 2019 Cook to be banned for 6 months after appeal. Running from 1st November for ALL competitions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No he would miss the start of next season which would mean he has got a longert ban than he already has Edited August 15, 2019 by ray c 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted August 15, 2019 Maybe just maybe, Cook is being allowed to appeal because he thinks he was provoked and can provide evidence. Not saying he was or wasn't, that's what the appeal is for. If that's the case Kennett has no grounds for appeal as he just sprinted quite a way to get involved in a fracas. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Lady 5,400 Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Sorry I know you are blinkered but can you read what is written! Why should Kennett be allowed to appeal. Where is the provocation in his case? As far as I know appeals (at least in law) are allowed if the appellant can provide additional or new evidence on the case. I assume as Vissing was turned down and Kennett didn't bother, neither can provide such evidence. EDITED TO ADD I make no comment on whether Cook is guilty as charged or not, I wasn't there and don't have access to any evidence that the SCB has considered.

Skidder1 7,634 Posted August 15, 2019 So Cook appeals against what the SCB Officers themselves witnessed?! Lets hope the appeal hearing is held at the appropriate time and the punishment at least staying a minimum of what it was. Maybe even the SGP Challenge may be affected? One can live in hope. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
