AndyM 1 Posted June 25, 2005 I've never seen a motocross gate fail. I've seen speedway gates fail about 15 times this week alone!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Liontamer 202 Posted June 25, 2005 What a fantastic GP, I've just took the dog out for a walk, called in on my mum, nipped to the local for a couple of pints, mowed the lawn, read the latest Nuts magazine, cracked one out, nipped to the Chinky takeaway, & I haven't missed one single race.

ezekiel 0 Posted June 25, 2005 (edited) Surely that should have been a re-run with all four riders? Nicholls was clearly caught by Gollob? If Pedersen was given a second chance then so should Nicholls... Edited June 25, 2005 by ezekiel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liesdale 0 Posted June 25, 2005 I've never seen a motocross gate fail. I've seen speedway gates fail about 15 times this week alone!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But I would guess that there are about 200 times more speedway races a week than moto cross - so hardly a good comparison.

pirate paul 1 Posted June 25, 2005 I've never seen a motocross gate fail. I've seen speedway gates fail about 15 times this week alone!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> YOu need to watch men and motors a bit more then Andy Seriously I think this is a terrible idea, at least a speedway tape breaks, or is supposed to. Motox gates are solid, when they fail the damage to man and machine would be big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nevs 4 Posted June 25, 2005 I guess the first two that make the finals will be picking gates 2 or 3 not for the dirt- but so they dont risk getting decapitated--Time will tell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wimbledonwomble 0 Posted June 25, 2005 (edited) Has anyone ever tried motocross-style gates in speedway, where a metal barrier goes down? That might be dangerous, but I'm sure there must be some way to use the principle to prevent similar debacles with traditional starting gates. Do you have any idea how much a motocross bike has in ground clearance compared to a speedway bike? The length of travel on the suspension?
