  1. Anyone dabbling in Denmark ?

    Where's the betting and info for Denmark? Cheers

     

    Had a little bit on Jeppesen +3 vs Hougaard. Just about to have a proper look at the Kings Lynn meeting,although at first glance it's slim pickings.

    No bets at Kings Lynn for me. Too tricky.


  2. Yes i`m against riders moving -if allowed it would soon become a farce !!!

    Interesting. Why would it become a farce? As long as riders avoid the tapes they would be OK!

     

    Think there would be a lot of re-runs,and long drawn out meetings.

    Why do you think there would be a lot of re-runs? The reason for my question was to cut out re-runs due to unsatisfactory starts!


  3. Remember the 1972 World Final, in particular, whereby some riders were so far back from the tapes that they were getting enormous flyers and the referee letting it go much to the bemusement of some that were present.

    OK, to counter that possibility, simply paint a white line say 30cm behind the tapes and the front wheel must be on or infront of it or something to that effect. Certainly not impossible to stop massive rollers.

  4. I understand the current rules state that riders have to sit still at the start and any movement can result in an unsatisfactory start and the race being stopped. This happens on far too many occasions and I agree with most people that if this rule is to persist then there should be no going back to the pits. It would still delay meetings though.

     

    However, why not let the riders move? Let them move as much as they want and if they get a flyer great stuff. We all watch meetings where certain gates are graves, well if they could move maybe it would be a leveller? If by moving though they touch the tapes then obviously they're out.

     

    No more unsatisfactory starts and the meetings would run more smoothly.

     

    Just a thought and apologies if this topic has been covered. I was reading the comments on the BT Coverage thread about meetings running over scheduled times and fans missing the ends of match.
