Yes, asked this several years ago when I first saw Nicki P doing this in the GPs.  As others have said there is a rule in Britain which says the cut out must be attached when the engine is running, this includes after the race has concluded.  After NP started it others followed suit like the sheep they are - not sure what they think they're gaining to be honest but if for some reason the bike does pick up speed unexpectedly I hope no-one is seriously injured.

and Jesper is even better now

Think Picko was of that opinion and hinted Holder should have done the same in previous heat,but Really Jack Holder was going right before he decided to turn left.Ref makes the decisions though.

Nope,but he was poor.He is still a heat leader at this level in GB.

He's 37. Do you still expect him to ride like a world champion ? Not many do at that age.

Presumably they can't prempt an official statement from the BSPL either..
