stripped of second place in WSS Race. Automatic engine cut-out
feature failed to function on both bikes post race

No they just dont have a second place and those points goto the
smithfamily

 

Does this mean all the lower placings get shuffled up the results ladder?

 

Biggus... you certainly have a way with words

Heh. Noice.

 

That one got me laughing!
(I can just see a poor kiddie with bright eyes unwrapping 20 WSB points
this Christmas!)

 

hey I can bet there would be a few at end of season who wouldnt mind
20 under the tree!

 

geee biggus, don'cha know it's because his bike isn't a ducati (Assen 2002).

 

X-No-archive: yes
Yeah but Bayliss's bike DID pass post-race scrutineering in 2002. (Was it
Assen or one of the Pommy races?)
Maybe they pulled a swifty and re-connected the cut-out or something but you
can hardly disqualify a bike that passes the test.

Silverstone. When he stacked twice and still came fifth.

Could the rule be "bike must die in the arse within x, where x=a reasonably
small number, seconds of rider falling on same", and Bayliss merely managed
to get to it and pull it upright before then... but, then again, what's an
extra toggle-switch on the instrument panel?

 

They are scared that it is competitive so early..

 

Hey, why not - might as well stick with a system that works!

Since when do we need a reason to hang shit on you Clem?

Well you've got a point there Aaron but usually I UNDERSTAND it when the
shit is being hung......
