Me, I’m fine thanks for the concern however. You’re everything that’s wrong with modern day society. Let’s hope you don’t have any mental health struggles.

To be sure I think someone would need to look at the stream. The way I perceived it was the ref had noticed Ben Barker was illegally warming his tyre by spinning his wheel in the dirt at the start ( I noticed him doing the same in one of his earlier races ). This is a disqualification incident that allowed him to go off a 15 metre handicap. However, the ref started the race with all riders at the tapes. Anze Grmek accidentally pulled out his kill switch at the start and wheeled his bike off the track.The race got to the third bend if I remember right before the riders noticed the race had been stopped. Under the rules Barker was allowed to go off 15 metres for tyre warming. Also under the rules if a rider accidentally pulls out his kill switch before the race has started it is deemed to be an unsatisfactory start and the rider is allowed back into the rerun. Both things did happen. What I can't understand was why the ref started the race when he knew Barker was warming his tyre and allowed them to go 3/4 of a lap. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted yesterday at 09:28 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:28 AM Never heard that before about pulling cut out and getting restart I've seen many a rider pulling it out as a issue with bike but getting kicked out of race At very best that should also be a 15 mtr start as it delays the start 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who was also following Vuolas' meetings on the continent I would keep in mind that that was his first meeting back after a crash at the end of April, (which was not his fault) 🤔 Got a lot of time for Antti and would have liked to have seen him back in the Championship this year, genuinely thought he would be at Scunthorpe tbh.

He could not have noticed Grmek had accidentally detached his kill switch otherwise he should not have started the race with a dead bike at the start. Once he started the race and Grmek wheeled his bike off the track it should have been treated as a retirement due to mechanical failure. I actually raised the kill switch issue through the open door of the refs box at the time, the refs reply was that Ben Barker had already committed an earlier tyre warming offence. Once he started the race I believe Grmek should have been excluded/ disqualified also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
