So ht 14 on sat were the riders under starters orders,ie green light on?if so then why was grmek allowed back in as he wasnt under power when the race was stopped! 

In the referees defence his visibility was probably impaired by the dust from the previous heat still in the air.🪖

What a truly awful human you are.

You sound a bit sad as well. Have you thought of going out and catching a bit of sunshine?

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.
