Err yes he can

But surely they would know from an official source - they aren't just guessing?

Apart from guesting for a number 1.

Serious question though - can riders not riding in Britain but with a British average actually guest? They aren't in any other play off team?

I watched it on my paid for legal stream on Eurosport player.

It’s golden heats

Lawson or Cook for me. A gamble I know but whoever it is will be a gamble

No he can’t

I’d go r/r for Ulrich then everyone can take a ride. Guest for Hans

Just checked and it's only been 5 weeks since Lawson bust his collarbone

Yeah thought the same

Should put bike Cam on Chris Harris

Neil Watson explained it somewhere. 8 day rule doesnt apply to guests at number 1, but does for everyone else.

Interesting but that would be a big gamble.

We, might not have much choice?

Kerr can only guest for MPT at number 1.

Still injured and I think too high anyway

Nope

And Riss. Cook is the obvious answer but hasn't happened so far for some reason.

Kerr can now only guest for MPT who will surely ride now. Quite how we will cover Hans and Ulrich I don't know r/r for one and guest for the other - but whose left?

He hurt his hand in heat 10 when Douglas went under him. You could see he was in some discomfort after the race. I wasn't surprised he didn't come out in 13

If MPT pulls out after 1 ride then Bjarne could take the remaining 3 so he can't take a r/r ride - meaning Palin would have to have an extra ride, either for MPT or r/r

Agreed. And pairing him with an unfit rider at 1 & 2?

It's unlikely he's fully fit, but is he fit enough?
