andat Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Went to watch/help out and all the lads & girls seemed well up for it. Good to see the lad with the broken footrest finish - he did the entire second lap on one footpeg. Local knowledge obviously influenced the results, but I can't see how you can get best time by missing a section...and not get excluded. Good trial despite my whinge and hope they run it next year.

perce Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 To be classed as a finisher they needed to do all the sections, if they didn't do all the sections their time is null & void. So the time & / or observation awards were only given to riders who rode all the sections. I'm not quite sure who you're getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasgasking Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 i did see a rider miss section 20 and he got away with it and ended up getting the fastest time... and i thought if you miss a section you would get excluded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perce Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Well without an official protest, ie put your money where your mouth is, the Club can do nothing. The scores are put into the computer very quickly, errors are made by both the observers in the scoring books & the results team. Remember the awards presentation was held within 2 hours of the last rider finishing. Everyone does their best but things do leak through that are incorrect but I can say that everything is done in an impartial manner, if it was any other way I for one would not be involved.

ishy Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I could say I saw the top three miss a section, that's why riders can't protest another riders score, if an official sees a rider miss a section that is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of onlookers witnessed at least one fast rider miss section 20 on the first lap. I would hope a bit of constructive criticism should improve things for next year for what was generally accepted (me included) as an excellent, well organised event.

"Plenty of onlookers" Who should apply the rules ?. World rounds have been won and lost because of penalties missed by officials, and fans at soccer or any other sports boo the ref for missing fouls etc, the official can only call what they see. I know from past reports that Richmond apply the rules to the book, on any rider they catch on the dodge, no matter what thier name is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdad Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 What a BRILLIANT event! The atmosphere as riders left the start area was quite special, apprehension, excitement and anticipation of what lay ahead. All the riders I saw gave it 100% from begining to end. They were ALL fantastic. My eldest lad was disappointed that an observer had missed him on the first lap, however he's already looking forward to entering the Scott next year. The first words my 13 year old uttered to me when I found him at the finish were, "we ARE doing this trial again next year". Thanks, to the Richmond Club. A proper good do!!
