Can't see how it's an inexplicable decision in Heat 11 when it was explained that it's a new rule that the race must be stopped, whether that's right or wrong is another debate.
The post literally said, conditions are great at Ashfield with the riders getting in extra practice. For what it's worth I couldn't care less if a team has a practice on the track before the meeting, conditions can probably be quite different from the afternoon to evening so setups could be quite different.
So what should he have said? He doesn't really rate the team and thinks it will be a season of struggle? You've got to be positive at this time of year.
