So on the Qualy feed, they said that Jordan Jarvis was 5th Alternate ( 9th in the LCQ) and got to ride, as 4 guys didnt start moto 2.. which is great for her , and i have no issue with that, them's the rules, and thats what you do.
However i am aware that a lot of Moto's dont start with a full grid, especially 2nd Moto's , so i can only assume that riders arent prepared to sit their on the off chance?
We have attended races where we were an alternate to even get a start, and and have had to sit in the box to see how many are in when the gate shuts..
And that begs the question , how did Dungey get to start that race late back at Millville, if he wasnt on the gate, shouldnt an alternate have been put in ?

The Shop
Its why we have a closed parc at races, and if you arent there in time, the alternate gets the start.
And agreed, the Dungey thing was epic, i wasnt 100% sure of the track, and totally forgot it was on the Suzuki
And respect to Jarvis for being there and being ready .
Great rule IMO
