Klindt was in front so was entitled to choose his racing line, King (fairplay for the effort) was trying to go through a gap that wasn't there! But his racing line meant contact with Danny which resulted in him going through the fence which is an exclusion for unfair riding I've seen this argued before - if rider A is inches ahead he can choose to take whatever line he wants. It's not the case....... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klindt isn't the type of ruder to fence people but also King doesn't tend to go for gaps which aren't there. Have seen king take that wide line from where I stand on exit of second turn a thousand times, he knows Foxhall better than anyone if he’s behind and the gaps closing he backs out, he’s a brave rider and will keep it open when there’s room and when he’s alongside but he’s not stupid and knows when to yield when behind. He definitely wasn’t expecting that from nicolai hence he kept it wound on having got the run and being alongside with room to race which was taken away with zero time to get out of the way and avoid a crash. no bias on my part, if that was an Ipswich rider doing it to an away rider I’d be just as outraged, if anything more outraged as an avid fan, I expect a better level of respect to be shown by my team on the track. just really don’t like seeing people get fenced, hard but fair racing is great entertainment, standing with a lump in throat wondering if a rider 20 metres in front of you strewn out on the stock car track having been sent through two sections of air fence and 3 wooden fence panels is not, that was a big crash and Danny lucky not to be seriously hurt - like others have said was a very similar incident to one that effectively ended mark loram’s career. and of all the people to do it to, Danny one of the fairest riders about not a bad bone in his body.

Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted August 13, 2023 Danny’s reaction to klint when he came to check on him was to throw his hands up to gesture why did you do that. klint did apologise and claimed he lifted but I’m not so sure of that. I am sure he didn’t mean to fence Danny but that was the consequence of his riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted August 13, 2023 I think a lot of it may come down to the 80cc racing the Danish kids do,,they learn alot obout blocking and fencing in that due to the lack of power 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My post only replicated my instant gut reaction after the incident! - I could be wrong but I've learnt over the years that your gut reaction is normally not far off the truth!
