Hawk127 1,357 Posted June 12, 2020 This is where you really need a referee who has been a rider and can don some leathers and try the track for themselves and the make a decision. This is where speedway shoots itself in the foot. Make a decision and that is it. In English piss or get off the pot. No one is asking anyone to take on any greater risk than can be expected if you are a speedway rider but only in this sport can they fart about and not make an educated decision based on prevailing conditions and the chances of either an improvement or deterioration.

Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted June 12, 2020 As soon as riders stand around they go into non race mode and don’t fancy it. Seen it so many times. One or two can sway it for the majority. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The track looked ok on first viewing but as I looked again you could see it was very, very grippy. Shamek was struggling a little and that was alone. Put 3 more riders in the mix and it becomes dangerous. Correct decision 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The experienced riders have been in the fence more than the younger ones. I've never seen a fan break a leg sitting in the stand. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
