Totally agree with you Trees. Crumpy had gone away from the main pit area and obviously wanted some time out, you do have to wonder if he had gone to the gents if the damned camera would have followed him.
I had the dubious pleasure quite a while ago of being followed about by a TV camera and believe me it is not always a pleasant experience, there were times, especially in private moments when I too told the cameraman to disappear at a rate of knots, difference was the prog I was in was recorded not live!
Speedway riders are human beings with aspirations, ambitions, and feelings. Imagine you had just received your vital exam results and they were crap what would your reaction be to a camera lens :?:
