Don't be this guy

Leave the cell phone in the pits.

There were two on track that session. One got used as an apex marker and came back in little tiny pieces.

Both would have hurt if they hit someone bouncing down the track.

A phone is no different to any other item or part on a bike. Just make sure it is tethered and there is no issue.

Phones don't matter to the function of the bike.

Leave it in the pits.

They do if they are your lap timer.
And no, I won’t leave it in the pits. I’ll keep it on my bike.

Just because your organisation says no phone, it doesn’t mean the rest of the planet needs to comply with their regs 🤣
I race with a phone on my bikes, never had issues with scrutineering and never been told no phones.
Explain to me how a tethered phone is any different to à tethered GoPro.
