RoundTheBoards 271 Posted June 15, 2023 3 hours ago, GregoryM said: I suppose it is still the situation, but Poland doesn't award bonus points in '3 rider 3 alls' and '2 rider 5-0s'. Certainly that seems to motivate riders to finish a race, rather than simply pull-up and retire from the race when well at the back. That comment makes no sense. Where is the incentive in wasting fuel and wear and tear on an engine just so a member of the opposition can get paid an extra point? Quite the opposite, the incentive would be to pull up and stop the opposition from earning more money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly that seems to motivate riders to finish a race, rather than simply pull-up and retire from the race when well at the back. I remember talking to a rider on one particular visit to Poland a few years ago, he remarked 'They wouldn't dare not to finish otherwise they'd be robbing a fellow professional of income.' One thing Ive seen on a pretty regular basis over the last 4 or 5 seasons is a rider stop racing due to EF etc and coasting around the whiteline instead of immediately leaving the track. IMO those riders should be fined as they're a potential cause of an accident. Edited June 15, 2023 by Triple.H.

lisa-colette 6,040 Posted June 15, 2023 6 hours ago, wtf said: personally I find Erik's description of his symptoms and situation very disturbing. He's confessing to racing with blurred vision! Then thinking about whether to do it again. At what point, should he have to pass some sort of fitness test, before riding again. Not sure I'd want to be one of the other three lining up along side him when he admits his vision is blurred! Has he edited it, can't see where it says blurred vision anymore?!

lisa-colette 6,040 Posted June 15, 2023 Never mind, it still says he has blurry vision in the German section. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I think he's edited it, it definitely said had blurred vision twice when I first read it. Someone should have told him you need to edit the German section as well, translation software is very handy. No sneaking anything past you Lisa Edited June 16, 2023 by wtf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur73 13 Posted June 16, 2023 Would danyon's 25% reduction and Danny's 5% still be taken into account if we were to get some new riders in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
