He shouldn't have turned left, you can see in the excellent video analysis that @Dave_minall posted he literally turns his front wheel to the left at the 14 second mark... you can't show those that don't want to see 🙈 Edited Monday at 11:26 AM by IainB 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_minall Posted Monday at 12:19 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 12:19 PM I should have put this in the video in hindsight, but in the closeup you can see Harrison off the throttle with his left foot down trying to slow down as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chun Posted Monday at 01:11 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:11 PM these are young riders on a new track. i think he went to block harrison without appreciating the amount of speed he had scrubbed off would mean that he would likely cut him up. it wasnt as though it he fenced the guy but it was dangerous riding - intended or not 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushen doesn't deviate. I'm still waiting for an explanation as to what Cooper should have done?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that although it looks like his front wheel is pointing to the right that they are actually coming towards us so that means he's turning left 😂😂 Edited Monday at 02:26 PM by IainB 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that although it looks like his front wheel is pointing to the right that they are actually coming towards us so that means he's turning left 😂😂 But, if you look at the video from behind, although Cooper's front wheel is turning left, his bike is still moving straight or to the right. He never comes in beyond mid track. If you look at the first lap Kye Thomson rides a similar line, albeit that he doesn't scrub off speed by over locking. Maybe Cooper was just following the line Kye took on the previous lap, thinking that was the racing line When people say 'what else could Luke have done' then look at the line Jody Scott took at the end of lap one to go inside Luke and much closer to the white line. I doubt anyone is going to change their mind about what happened and who caused it. Of course, these incidents happen in the blink of an eye. Given injuries to riders elsewhere over the last few days I am just glad that the injuries here appear relatively minor (although any concussion is not to be treated lightly) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His machine does not go left at any point down the straight and he's lined up to go through gate 3. Video evidence is very very clear on what happened. It seems some still need lessons in basic physics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of things here: a) how are we to know who you are? 2) fans discuss incidents, it's part and parcel of the sport. I don't think it was done deliberately, but this is an occasion when a lot of people (including Jan Staechmann) think the rider ahead should have been declared as the cause of the stoppage. Obviously we all feel for the injured riders. That shouldn't prevent fans from discussing what happened.

Also discussing it is fine but its gone on and on and on and got a bit silly (in BSF style) now so you can understand riders and their families getting fed up with it.

"philwhitewasmad" and "in the fence" doesn't sound like someone who shies away from discussing hard riding ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
