Has anyone noticed that riders are now regularly removing their cut out connectors from their wrists before reaching the pits after a race is completed. Last week Cameron Heeps took his off in heat 15 of Oxford v Poole on the third bend of the last lap when at the back. I know you can argue it’s low level risk but why not keep it attached until the motor is deadened? Must be some rule or other about this? Yes, asked this several years ago when I first saw Nicki P doing this in the GPs. As others have said there is a rule in Britain which says the cut out must be attached when the engine is running, this includes after the race has concluded. After NP started it others followed suit like the sheep they are - not sure what they think they're gaining to be honest but if for some reason the bike does pick up speed unexpectedly I hope no-one is seriously injured.

Saw it on TV again the other night, at Sheffield I think... and also a mechanic riding a bike back to the pits with no lanyard around his wrist.
