Fromafar 10,367 Posted June 11, 2018 While all this talk off Team Riding/ Slowing the race down etc,I see Hancock having a go at Zager for slowing and causing Manzaris to lose control and fall,IMO Zager done nothing dangerous so riders can't win on that one.

Perhaps not that one... but "Why did you go for the win from the tapes and not look back for your partner until the last bend of the last lap after so magnificently team riding during the rest of the competition?" it's a fair question to ask Edited June 11, 2018 by iainb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you well know, the Race-Offs we were talking about are a last chance to get to the final for teams who don't qualify direct for the final from their opening round. They happened in the old SWC, but not in the new SON. No Walter. Not at all. I know what I meant. Read my original post. You're boring me now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarcasm, but had that happened, it would have been the same result in the end, Russia win the SON. The only difference is we would not be asking the question why was he not attempting to team ride or manipulate Robert overtaking Emil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for putting forward the argument for team riding, even though you're trying to argue against it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally redundant counter argument,because we aren't any worse off......but at least we had a better chance if he tried and failed.Not trying at all,was a no brainer,Even financially Tai wouldn't have been better off winning the heat.......

Let me get this straight. Your opinion is quite simply: Woffinden shouldn't have team ridden because we might have lost. Is that it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the one you just posted about a 5-1 wasn't really giving a contrary 'opinion ' instead it just tended to point out how little we had to lose by having a go.
