    Consistency in Sport

    For a while now the spear tackle has been illegal in Rugby.

    How long do we have to wait before it's made illegal in Superbikes?

    There are times I struggle to mention his name. I'm all for aggressive racing, in fact it's what I love most about BSB. But that guy's red mist has a habit of putting people in hospital, and can't just be f*****g coincidence.

    I'm sorry if I upset any of the guys fans on here but there ya go.

    I guess he was very frustrated being bulked behind the Ducati for several laps as the Swan Yamaha team shot off in the distance.

    It was an extremely hard move which resulted in Rutter coming off. Early indications are he has a broken hand

    From the BSB website.....

    Judicial Decision

    Cadwell Park - 28 August 2011

    The Judicial Clerk of the Course in the presence of the Riders' Judicial/Stewards Advisor considered the incident during the Superbike race between Josh Brookes (#2) and Michael Rutter (#6) at Hall Bends.

    Evidence was reviewed including television footage, marshals reports and an explanation from the rider.

    A penalty of exclusion from the race result has been inflicted on #2 Josh Brookes for causing avoidable and unfair contact which resulted in an accident.

    The right of appeal was advised.

    No appeal was received - the decision is confirmed.

    Yeah I know, and I'd be willing to extend the benefit of the doubt if it was the first time I'd seen him dive into a non-existent gap, but it's too bloody dangerous for anyone near him when he feels frustrated.

    Hall bends isn't a passing place. I thought he was too aggressive.

    Here was some pretty naughty moves at the old hairpin too.

    Any body for a game of Crown green Bowling? Shitty Little track and expecting top riders on 210 bhp machines to keep going round hoping some one breaks down before you can pass them .Dig up all that pissin grass and give the boys a chance .This is something from the 30s.

    I think Cadwell is an awesome track, didnt Brookes overtake Tommy Hill in the same place last year?

    Now if you said Mallory i'd agree 100%
