A few observations if I may.

If a bike was considered to be of a significant power advantage over others, then a quick run on the dyno would prove this satisfactorily, one way or another.

The need for the organisers to sponsor a rider to protest, suggests they have a genuine reason to force this issue. It may be to stop the paddock rumours, but it may also be a personal issue with somebody who is clearly a better 'racer' than most of the rest of the field and on a well prepared bike? If their motive is purely to prove what a 'fair' series this is, they have ben a little misguided in their actions.

Could this be that they [the organisers] felt this action would lead to a refusal of the owner of the championship winning bike, to strip his engine for inspection, thereby leading to a disqualification by default? If so, they have been left with egg on their faces. Again, a dyno run would have done an equally good job of proving the bike legitimacy, without the disruptions and poor press the series could clearly do without.

Congratulations to Phil and Dom on your champioships.


Thats actually a good idea.....parc ferme the bikes and get them all dyno'd any that stand out surely would have to had some illegal bits added .?....we all have a pretty good idea what is acheivable legally in both 583 and 620.....!!!

hmmm food for thought.......

and thanks for the congrats....

Phil
