And along with the riders previous race experience/successes??

It's a disgrace.

It happens at all levels of racing. It's a fact of life - get used to it. Some rumours are true - the vast majority aren't. There is only one way to stop the rumours - enter a protest. The ability to protest a competitior's bike is enshrined within ACU regs - YOU all sign up to this when you get an ACU licence - you acknowledge that at any time anyone's bike may be protested. It's rarely done of course because few people have the bottle to do it in case they are proved wrong.

You have no reason to complain about this - the manner in which it may have been done may be somewhat dubious but, you cannot complain that someone's bike has been protested.
