“First Strike to Payne and Rousseau”

The sun is shining again.

The last race will decide the 2024 FIM Sidecar World Championship. Only 2 points separate the two top teams.

Harry Payne and Kevin Rousseau took the race one win from Marcus Schlosser and Luca Schmidt, Sam and Tom Christie took third.

Tim Reeves and Mark Wilkes were going well battling up front until they pulled into pit lane for a DNF, it turned out that driver Reeves had a handle bar grip come off.

Results amended

Hi,
Tim Reeves has been disqualified from the results for use of a "kit generator".
Speedweek magazine states:
"because of a generator that did not comply with the rules"

Am I missing something here? What does this mean exactly? Has anyone seen any FIM Jury statement?

I’ve only just found out, Tim has posted on Facebook stating about his DQ and kit generator.

I have removed Marks report and updated the results
