Could put people in danger so always err on the side of caution. I see on the Berwick report he was fined by the referee but not sure if his broken chain was locking up his back wheel and he was trying to release it? On another point it was good to see less gardening at the gate with the clock (could see it took less time than other seasons for the riders to be ready). Speaking to a supporter in the stand after the meeting he said there was always time on the clock when the race started so probably 10-15 minutes saved there. Only complaint from me was the back straight stand lights not working so moved to the exit of the second bend. Does anyone know how far back the starting gate been moved? Sure I seen somewhere 5 meters maybe George Dodds could confirm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They’ve moved the start line back five metres, so you ride 5 metres extra at the start, and 5 metres less at the end of a lap/race. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
