The organisers of both races have given an undertaking to warn all

riders prior at the start that any transgressors will be disqualified.

 

 

Didn't hear that warning before the race. Was standing at the start for quite a few of the racing categories...

Hi All

 

Please help with this question.

 

Why would a slower tandem following a faster rider in the $ bunch insist that the faster rider slow down as he is riding too fast.  They then pass the rider and proceed at a much slower pace, effectively breaking the riders speed and pace (& time)????.

 

One is too scared to pass them again later!!! They might take you out!!!!

 

Is there a ethical or legal ruling???? or just pure roadrage

I agree.  DQ all who don't obey the rules.

 

By partaking in any event you also agree to the stated rules & regulations of the organizers and associated bodies involved.  (eg no helmet no ride).

 

This is the only way to teach them a lesson. (like one punishises you child Cry)

 

You put everyone and your own live in danger by being a hooligan!!!!

Well that race rocked!

 

Started in the R bunch - rode alone for 20km then hooked up with GreyOwl and a dude called Joffrey (who was more motor bike than human) and did a 3 up TT to the end...no switching, no riding over the white line (much) and no near accidents. Granted we had to turn ourselves "inside out" as Phil says but good fun was had by..well..the 3 of us.

 

Plus we beat the time of everybody up to B bunch - you guys should be ashamed ;-)

 

I don't reckon the race would have been nearly as much fun if I'd started in a "racing group". Winds/flat roads and half road closure make for the all problems outlined peviously - when people are hurting/wanting a better time the white lines/trucks/cars/being alive become secondary....
