Max Knox lapped on lap 2 WTF, he is not my favorite local rider, but its not like the man can't ride. Wow

Is that what it mean, or was he lapped twice by the front riders?

Don't think you can be lapped twice because of the 80% rule

I'm all for catching guys and it's great news, but the guys who are doping and are serious about it, won't get caught for anything on race day... I can't remember who said it, but they said failing an in competition test was like failing an IQ test. They need to test the competitive guys in the lead up to the world champs, Cape Epics etc

 

What makes you think they are not testing the competitive guys in the lead!?

 

Please give some backing... Or is it because they arn't being caught?

No it means the leader did 2 more laps than he did. in other words if Nino did 7 laps then Max had done 5 when he was pulled off the track.They usually pull off the riders who are going to be lapped before they get lapped to try and prevent them affecting the leaders race, but sometimes it does not work out that way.

 

Some races in Europe they have someone on a motorbike riding a few minutes in front of the leaders and if he catches up / passes you, you then have to pull off.

 

2003 world champs in Lugano and I think also at Champrey the guy had a broom tied onto his back aka broom bus style

 

Here's the pic, taken at 2003 world champs in Lugano
