June 24, 201115 yr Are the rules different for ages in Europe? If that's not the case cheating Spaniards I would say.
June 25, 201115 yr The rules were changed this year. The age has been lowered in all categories to 16 so a rider can now ride a bike of any capacity as long as they have a driving licence from their own country that allows them to ride that capacity of machine. This change was proposed, perhaps unsurprisingly, by the Spanish Federation and accepted by the FIM.
June 25, 201115 yr What a farcical. How does the Spanish Federation lay out there playing fields on a Hill.
June 25, 201115 yr Shame on the powers that be. Tarres does not have a licence for a bike larger than a 125. Dibs had to miss 3 or 4 events a few years ago or revert to a 125and Wiggy had battle round the world on a 125 against everyone else on big bikes.
June 25, 201115 yr its called european harminisation, europe harminises and the uk stands on the sidelines wondering why its been stitched up once again!

If it was accepted by the FIM the ACU rep on that committee should be ashamed of himself, its either a case of they weren't doing their job when dibs and wigg wanted help or they didn't do it now who was it?
June 25, 201115 yr Jut like any rule you you chanfe there will always be people that it wasnt fair on vecause they missed out but i think its a better rule. Who wants to ride a 125 at 18 if youve rode one for alot of years. Your top end of teenage years

Your top end of teenage years unless you ride in the wtc or euro rounds it doesn't affect you. the point of the thread is that Pol Tarres is either breaking the rules or for the first time in ten years the rules coincidentally have been changed to suit a spanish rider.
June 27, 201115 yr I'm a long way away over the other side of the pond, but this seems like a bit of a farce - We need rules to control the sport, but they should not be influenced or biased towards any one country.
