This morning I was told to leave the paddock with my van and equipment before we had chance to unload bike and prep the bikes for todays races. Also told that the Police would remove us if we did not move. We moved out and they put private cars in our spaces.
When you say the "organization", who exactly are you referring to ?.
Please keep me informed, I am intrigued !
When the head of security came down to the paddock and asked us to leave they said it was from instructions of Paul Phillips, I have text Paul to confirm but now reply, and this was said to other riders to this morning.
And this conversation was well witnessed

Sorry beepee but here I am! Firstly can I make it clear that I have given nobody an instruction to move vehicles, to make threats or to suggest fines of £500. I have heard reports from the security team of aggressive and threatening actions from some team representatives in the paddock which is not on.
Colin - I ask you to come forward and prove these accusations you are making in a proper way via the race office so they can be dealt with, rather than making internet postings. At this moment in time, based on what I know I am not convinced what you have written is correct. I have also heard some fairly disturbing reports of accusations you have made about me personally and some of my colleagues conducting criminal behaviour this week which are potentially libelous. I will deal with them separately.
Regards
Paul
