I’m surprised Sterry & co would choose a British round over WC.

I think the team made the decision instead of the riders.

The final of the Maxxis Championship is at the same date as the GP of Turkey, so I guess they'll be absent there aswell.

And with how their WC season has been going, it’s understandable I suppose.

Apparently, vaccinated fans will be separated from the non-vaccinated to allow for as many spectators as possible.

2 tier system, that’s certainly one way to segregate a crowd.

The British Championships Is the most important thing to that Team, it's as simple as that.

That a domestic team, does make an effort to participate in the GPs, when they can, at what would be a great expense to them, is admirable.

But, they obviously have obligations that they have to prioritize first, before they fill Luongos' / InFronts' pockets.

What if someone can’t have the jab for medical reasons, are they not allow to do anything now?

Then you should avoid crowded places on your own as you are probably a weaker subject

The % of the population that can't have the vaccine is probably under 1% (i'm just guessing, but it can't be a significant part of the population)? Hardly a big issue. And i'm sure there can be arrangements for these people, some kind of medical record should be enough.

But this is very off topic and doesn't belong in here, lets hope we have a good race weekend!

The percent of deaths due to covid are less than 1% as well I believe yet we’re altering our entire way of living because of it.

I’m not anti covid vax or anything. It’s just funny seeing the hypocrisy with this whole ordeal. I have a hard time understanding why those who are vaccinated need separated from those who are not vaccinated. If you’re vaccinated shouldn’t you be good against covid? They say basically all covid related deaths are now from the unvaccinated. So why are they allowing all unvaccinated people to congregate together when in their opinion they’re the only ones in real danger? This whole thing is so messed up. It’s so scary how many people in this world just do what they’re told rather than think for themselves.

End rant. Back to racing and this bad ass season.

When Vaccinated people die because of Non Vaccinated people. Why are the non vaccinated people not going to die. You should be “save” to go with a vaccin right Grinning

It’s so messed up like you said and it’s only gonna get more complicated. In one year from now and probably even soon, you can’t get nowhere without a vaccin. Blink

Wonder how Herlings is doing and feeling after Lommel. Haven’t seen anything about it.

Guess he did some checks and scans this week to see how the “blade” is doing, right?

Or mayby even ride some laps somewhere..

Vialle, Boisrame and Fernandez could take it from Geerts, Latvia is harder track and not really sandy. Even Benistant could take it if starts at front.
Herlings winning would make championship even better. Gajser, Febvre and Prado been fast previous year also.

Benistant has always been super fast at Kegums.

Guyon and Grau have some beef or Guyon just being way too eager? He went in pretty hot and almost took them both out already in the turn before that massive crash.
