Does anyone know the reason for the BSB rule (was new for 2012 I think) which says bikes dropped/crashed etc in races cannot be picked up back again?
How many riders do we know who have crashed and tried to carry on with damaged bikes and ended up in a bad way? Probably next to none. Normally, if the bike is so badly thrashed, the rider knows it and walks away or even if they carry on in the heat of the moment, they realise the bike is toast so ride slowly into the pits. I think there were a few occasions in the supersport class where riders could have continued with perfectly (albeit scuffed) ok bikes but could not. It seems somewhat unnecessary. Does any other series employ this rule?
