I'm sorry, but if there is a growing dispute between two riders at the tapes, the starting marshal should intervene and sort it out. That is one of his jobs. For this to end in one rider pulling the others cut out is unforgivable. Surely this amounts to delaying the start and should lead to an exclusion. In fact I think it started out as 6 of 1 and maybe both riders should have been excluded for the delay of start. Instead of which we had this pantomime where an innocent party ends up getting thrown out.

Shouldn't be any excuse for lack of home track experience/knowledge if the track can be made available at virtually any time for practice sessions?

Love Coopers attitude like you say. Pure class ,just wants to ride his bike doesn’t seemed to get phased with the situations. comes over as  a grounded lad. Can’t really take to Cairns.He is a decent prospect but get very petty at times.
