We all want road racing to succeed and thrive. 99% of the people involved are doing because they love it and want to to continue. Be it riders, marshals, scrutineers, officials, fans, mechanics etc. I am not into conspiracy theories. Don’t think anyone got up yesterday morning and said right, let’s see how I can screw this event/team/rider.

I think the main issue will be back to insurance. If god forbid the bikes had been involved in an incident and wheels found not to be within the rules and in particular not homologated to be used on that bike it could have been the end of NW and any Irish Roads. One assumes that other BMW's have factory approved replacements fitted.
