TigerIain Posted yesterday at 06:21 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:21 AM 9 hours ago, lewy said: There is video evidence of what bomber did and fans at the meeting saw it live There is absolutely zero evidence of what barker did or didn't say yet everyone takes it as gospel that what bomber says is the truth when it could be an excuse to justify even though there is no justification for what he did stamp or no stamp he still deliberately knocked barker off his bike. So where is this video evidence of this alleged stamp? Bomber's actions look to be those of a very angry man trying to stop a bike with no brakes Barker cut over the centre green to chase after Bomber and clearly said something offensive. Ben Barker commented on Bomber's post to dispute some of it but chose not to dispute or clarify what he said. I'd take from that that Barker doesn't object to what Bomber claims he said. Plenty of comments on what Bomber did, but tumbleweed on a rider threatening to deliberately take another rider out at high speed potentially injuring, paralysing or killing him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barker says Harris stamped on him. Which I kinda think the video backs up, be interesting if anything happens 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is fair to say he prefers his home track which was slick last night but produced a lot of passing, Plymouth track against Glasgow was dusty and most races ftg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted yesterday at 09:42 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:42 AM Not a good look for Harris. In no way am I condoning it - he deserves the rule book thrown at him - but I’d love to know what Barker said to him. It was so out of character. I like them both; naturally as a Glasgow fan with Harris, but Barker gives his all when guesting and I find his interviews honest and refreshing. Hopefully they kissed and made up.

People can only comment on what they've seen, we've seen Harris ride into Barker, we've seen what looks like Harris stamping on Barker, with the bike blocking the view, we can't be certain either way. We've seen Barker ride up to Harris to complain apparently unhappy with what happened in the race. We've seen Harris shove him away. Now I didn't see anything wrong with what happened during the race, certainly nothing to cause Barker to be so upset. I'd barely even call it hard racing. Now Harris has told us that Barker said unsavoury things, if true that's uncalled for by Barker, but that's one riders word against another, gonna be very hard to prove.

Pinny Posted yesterday at 12:14 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:14 PM The fact Harris left his comments open so long on his post about the incident allowing some of the comments to be posted is bonkers. For what its worth I don't mind either rider, looks to me as if Harris turned his bike to stop and took Barker off by mistake. Can't comment on the stamping incident as there are bikes in the way but would imagine if he did stamp on him then more Plymouth riders and officials would of been kicking off about it. Some lad claiming to be Harris' mechanic is on there posting all sorts of comical threats, threatening to rip Barkers throat out next time he sees him. He couldn't rip a sausage roll out of a greggs paperbag the absolute k**bhead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance.😂 It was wrong, but perfectly executed. He’s been practicing that on Cruz in the back garden. Does anyone remember Joe Screen knocking Jimmy Nilsen off at Hull many years ago by hitting his left handlebar as he passed him after the race?

nagy1 Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago There should be more action like this. Staged or naturally occurring. it would get more people through the door. Let's not forget, it it a dangerous sport, the stakes are high and emotions run a bit. How things like this don't happen more baffles me. Look at the discussion it has initiated here. Bit of drama, should be more of it. Get some real characters back in the game. Does it matter who was right or wrong? The main thing is no one was hurt. We have been entertained, they have done their jobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
