Does anyone think the carbon monoxide issues from Minneapolis will be a talking point for the riders going forward? As in the have lingering effects, it slowed their training, still having issues etc?

Lime gate effected Kenny for a while. Carbon gate might be an issue too.

No, not really, I believe most (riders) will move on from it. Litigation happy fans and others may be another story..

I felt tired and lethargic on Sunday, but that may have been from a couple cocktails at the bar after the race...

It is a terrible issue, but what could have been done on the night, cancel the show?
Next year they may have it at a different venue, are modify the ventilation system, maybe........

Not 4th of July caliber but a fair amount of pyro. Plus the "X" in the start straight was lit on fire and burned through most of opening ceremonies, watched a track worker pour some type of fuel onto it before the show started.

Why does everyone keep pointing to carbon monoxide when the symptoms match exposure to racing fuels which I thought everyone knows is really nasty?

They could done several things, such as opened up the massive glass doors to clean up the air, or maybe pause the event & turn on the vent system.

I'm still waiting to hear back from the stadium to share their air quality reports as req'd by the state health dept, and see why it seemed there was no ventilation until about 230pm, and very limited air movement during the night show.
