TINYS 275 Posted August 19, 2021 Why could'nt both captain's do 4 laps then make a decision. Buster's outrage was probably heat of the moment stuff i would think he might think differently in the morning. To be fair to the riders it's their necks on the line not Buster's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheffield didn't want any of it.Buster couldn't do any more They didn't want any of it and that was before Buster got it into better shape.Seems like they had got it into their heads and there was no changing their minds,it worked on the ref too.Disappointed to see Stead wanting it off i remember travelling to Vojens to watch GB race in the WC,it was very wet and he loved it,he didn't want it off that night. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't pipe up that the majority of the opposition don't want to ride unless you prove otherwise. Stick your top 2 out prove that it's rideable, then you can take the high moral ground. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well as you say if the ref already said it was off, not much point having a spin! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He should have got 2 riders from each team to agree to have some practice laps after he finished working on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,238 Posted August 19, 2021 Riders have too much say these days. Holder will be fine in Poland, Batch better pack up for Aus because tracks are closing fast in the UK and they are not helping one bit. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do we know they didn't offer to try out.? No point getting sheffield to try it, they'd have ridden like numptys on purpose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No,you didn't get my point.The refs had made their mind up when Buster had just started putting the track right.Didn't have the decency to stop him before working on the track for about 45 minutes.
