I've just checked the regs and it's at the refs discretion as to what is foul, unfair or dangerous riding... anyway it wasn't any of them for me, not that it really matters... just seemed a bit unfair of the ref.

Elmo 274 Posted August 29, 2021 From my view half way down the back straight I would say keleher got out of shape on his own and t-boned Dan, so it was the correct call in my opinion. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skippy 26 Posted August 29, 2021 9 hours ago, lisa-colette said: A lot of refs seem to rely on the first bend bunching when someone goes down on their own in first bend, which is annoying sometimes. So sometimes it is good to see a ref make a decision but I really need to see a video of it. Is there one anywhere? I might have to scour SM!! I have a video of the incident in heat 1 as it was right in front of me. Thompson locked up slightly and left Kelleher with no where to go but into him 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bendonebunching 49 Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) I've seen the video and agree that Thompson locked up leaving Keleher with no where to go. Edited August 30, 2021 by Bendonebunching Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,399 Posted August 30, 2021 It seems similar to an incident in our meeting up at Edinburgh when R Worrall pulled a locker & TJ had nowhere to go but into him. TJ excluded for ( causing an incident, took no avoiding action, not applying brakes, riding too close) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TJ excluded for ( causing an incident, took no avoiding action, not applying brakes, riding too close) Lewis Bridger did a big locker in front of a Poole rider once and the Poole rider got excluded. I guess refs think that riders should be avoiding them. Bit hard if they are close to them before it happens though! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
