Six riders decided not to race. What do you think of that. I think they should have been disqualified for that. I'm not good at history, has anything like this happened before? How they even were allowed to do this? ![]() |

Anybody should have the right to refuse to race if they don't want to. Also yes it has happened before the 1989 Nations Grand Prix at Misano was boycotted by several top riders for safety reasons. Last edited by AntG; October 13th, 2019 at 12:20 AM. |

No need to disqualify anyone... they have disqualified themselves effectively by sacrificing the opportunity for the extra points, not that disqualification for a safety concern is warranted anyway. | |

I agree the riders, this is their job and how they earn a living, its not worth risking a career over.

I think they have the right to decide to participate or not, depending on the circumstances, they are the ones who decide
