allthegearbutnaeidea 1,735 Posted May 31, 2016 All they did was pop round the tapes not cross the centre green like lyager did. They probably went a foot over the grass, never an exclusion and marge made correct callHenning Bager done just that at Newcastle and got excluded and we couldn't have a reserve replacement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert 304 Posted May 31, 2016 Scunny were allowed to bring in a reserve.... I despair with the rules of speedway. Rule 5.4.4 clearly states... No Motorcycle to be ridden on the Infield nor in the Pits (except the designated area). What it doesn't say (or at least I don't think it does) is what the penalty is for committing such an offence. Mondays Ref suggested the offence is dealt with in the same way as any other starting offence... therefore 15m or a reserve replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted June 1, 2016 So if a riders bike is sick does he now have to dismount and push it onto the centre green or stay on the track? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted June 1, 2016 So if a riders bike is sick does he now have to dismount and push it onto the centre green or stay on the track? A very good point, good our rulebook isn't it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodgy 976 Posted June 1, 2016 So if a riders bike is sick does he now have to dismount and push it onto the centre green or stay on the track? If his bike is sick I guess he is out of the race. Surely pushing a dead / poorly bike to the edge of the green is quite different to riding on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, common sense isn't it, rather than blame "a badly written rule book". FFS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
