Daniel Smith 5,665 Posted July 6, 2023 18 minutes ago, iainb said: Sedgy hit the deck coming out of turn 2 lap one, ran out of space. Tarasenko went back into the pits while Sedgy was receiving attention, the other 2 stayed on the track. Then the ref put all 4 back in. Can you declare an unsatisfactory start when riders are coming out of bend 2? Yes, all down to whether the referee deemed someone had gained an advantage. Even if a rider rolls or anticipates the start but comes out 4th, they will still be deemed as "gaining an advantage" if another rider falls. It's all referees discretion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SJA 40 Posted July 6, 2023 I enjoyed the meeting, second time at Leicestet this season & on behalf of the paying public I would like to thank Mr Jarvis for having the balls to exclude Iversen in HT15 for delaying the start. If more refs did this I'm sure riders would stop arsing around & it would give us fans one less thing to moan about 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hackney 89 Posted July 6, 2023 I know we got well beaten tonight, but if the panthers folded I couldn't go and watch Leicester at this track, little overtaking and no dirt on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Leicester riders had no problem overtaking. The reason there was less than on my previous visit was how uncompetitive the away team were. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Leicester track seems have taken quite a step backwards this year in my opinion. It's not been the same since the "improvements" over the close season and more often than not this season I have gone home covered in dust! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only crap left after each meeting are the so called 7 riders which we are unfortunately forced to watch for our £22.00. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted July 7, 2023 Poor night from a Panthers team that little has gone right for from the start of the season but I do agree with Rob Lyon that you do need other things to be right for a good night of speedway and the first of those is a decent track. The Leicester track was a disgrace, super slick, dry and dusty and produced little passing after bends one and two of the opening lap, it was exactly the same for the Pairs last week so clearly that’s the norm. Jarvis also had a poor meeting with some very strange decisions ( especially the farce in heat 6) and making a point of excluding Iversen in heat 15 for delaying the start when all 14 riders had done exactly the same for the previous 14 races was frankly ridiculous. I observed all the riders off their bikes at the start trying to establish a decent start, surely if you wanted to make a point the first four heats would have been the time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly because passing at Leicester is fairly reliant on riders making mistakes and in the PL simply fewer riders make mistakes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riders are allowed off their bike. But ignoring the Start Marshal's requests to join the other three riders at the start is delaying the start. Ignoring the flashing green light is delaying the start. The fans around me welcomed the decision. A man in a Peterborough top in ear shot remarked about bloody time, he's been doing it all season. At least the Leicester Start Marshal appears to know the rules unlike our lot. Edited July 7, 2023 by SJA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
