Andy Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I also must say thank you to Andy at Trials Central for providing us with such an excellent internet based facility to promote the trial. And I'd thank you for providing prompt and comprehensive follow-up. Results first and a good report shortly after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timp Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Did the new observing rules work better than 'stop for a 1' rule with this trial. Did it slow down the flow of the trial leading to delays. Were observers happier with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_scorpa3 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I think everyone who rode in the trial would agree that time was far tighter than usual this year. We've run the same route and the same groups for a few years now but (as far as I can remember) have never had anyone be excluded on time. This year there were quite a few over 20 minutes late (excluded) and lots more than ten mins late. One rider I spoke to commented that he'd looked at one section near the end, decided that the best he was going to get away with was a three and elected to ask for a five and miss the queue. At the end, he was still 13 minutes late. Lots of riders said that it felt like there was a lot more queing this year, if this was casued by the new rules of not I can't say. As far as the Observers were concerned, all who I spoke to were in favour of the new rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
