Actually - it is all down to professionalism. If the Starting Marshal does his job correctly and the Riders do theirs - then there should be no problem.
If Referee sticks the Green Light on at the end of the Two Minutes - they had better not hang back too long or they may find themselves left at the Tapes. It wouldn't have to happen very often for the Riders to get the message.
No - I wasn't there.
However the impression one gets of Mr. Ward is that he would be a difficult person to bully. Perhaps you used the wrong word, perhaps he was pushed in to the interview.
But 'bullied' is a strong word and I just don't see Mr. Ward being 'bullied'.
Sorry.
Aaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww -- poor little diddums.
Man enough to have a drink - but NOT man enough to say NO to an Interview.
I don't think so.
One thing I do think about Ward is that if he doesn't want to do something - he is perfectly capable of saying NO - or - the Australian equivalent - 'F*** off'.
One thing he does not lack is courage - as can be seen by his performance on a Speedway Bike.
No - being 'bullied' does not seem like Mr. Ward to me.
At least you have some left.

Ooops - just noticed - how is Brian by the way?
Only because I care passionately about a Magazine that I look forward to reading every time it comes through the door.
Over something like this I believe that I am entitled to express my views as strongly as possible.
I apologise if I offended you - that was not my intention - I just wanted to get my point across as strongly as I could. I stand by my views.
