PJL Mar 2009 11:57am, 17 Mar 2009 371 posts	Quote Pin PJL Ian, I was assuming that they'd be adding the penalties later - the results are only 'preliminary' so far. Unfortunately you were just a bit too far ahead of me to hear me shout out "checkpoint" to some others who had missed it. Hope you're not completely DQ'd. I did see some corner-cutting at Edensor, and felt a tad annoyed. Pabsey - that's got to have saved you at least 4 minutes, right?
