I have seen that video this morning and quite happy to retract my original comment
I would now put the move in Cat 1 (brave) and agree the decision was not clear cut
Indeed I would concede its 50/50 (but no more )
It just shows how difficult it can be for a referee paticularly with no replay
Our angle on the back straight opposite the starting gate narrows the width perception so to us it looked that BWD tried for a gap that wasnt there (which isnt the case)
The video angle of course loses the depth perception and you dont get the feel of just how far back BWD came from - he closed by 15m+ off bend 4 to the start line
Riss was on a natural line and ahead - BWD saw a gap (which started very big) and went for it carrying significantly more speed
A pure racing incident
Still think the decision was correct - just
