Have any of the riders been asked why they decided to have their practice starts before the parade was over ? 

There was aggro before the parade over the track by all accounts so the action of the marshal and others just aggrievated the situation even more ....

But a 29 second ban seems a little light in anyone's book. 

All riders using the infinite improbability drive might increase costs a bit eh?

Is that the 2 or 4 valve infinite improbability drive?

Hey I told you it might increase costs "a bit". I'm talking about the gold bar version. Rather appropriate as we're playing the Aussies for the ashes.

Particle deflector fitted for extra speed.

If a punishment has to be dealt out, make the guilty ride in the next x number of matches so as not to deprive the paying punter but the riders do not receive payment. The money they would have earned using an average is paid into the Ben Fund. If they decide that a way around this not to turn up then fine them a sum that is equal to the maximum they would earn if they had won all five rides and that money goes again into the Ben Fund.

That makes a lot of sense and stops all the panic going on at the moment with teams sourcing other riders at an important point in the season.  This in turn could pee off more fans and stop them attending meetings so doing damage to the sport, when numbers are dropping already.

Why should they ? If Messi gets a ban for violent conduct, Barca can't bring in Ronaldo as a guest.

That's totally irrelevant you know footballers can only play for one club.

Ed wasn't part of the original incident, instead he ran 30 yards towards it, then started scrapping. It was nowt to do with him. I can't see how Louis or anyone else can argue against his actions that lead to the ban.

That’s just bad luck though, could easily have worked the other way in that Vissing could have been a track specialist who Swindon would struggle to replace. Has very little to do with Swindon (or Lynn with Cook) so a facility has to be granted, don’t see the alternative.

The regulations are clear that a facility is available - Art16.5.1.i

What half way though? I've never seen it. Riders obviously behave themselves at Poole then! 

Because you never go.

Cook 

Vissing 

Kennet

They should all receive a ban for their championship club only, if they are banned from riding for their premiership club then might as well bang that final nail in the coffin of this absolute ridiculous sport
