No he wasn't even riding. He is doing some testing there next Thursday though.

This might be all academic anyway we don't know if Howarth or Zengota will be released. We could even go for someone else.

Coventry has done very well in that regard in the last few meetings, especially as I've had to get up at 5 the next day for work!

Howarth is far better at Poole. We are pretty much in the playoffs anyway so we should build for that and to win it you probably need to beat Poole. Swindon might not release either yet but when you have an option to replace a 4.8 rider for a 6.5 you have to make it happen.

On the video you can see all 4 riders in one heat rolling at the start 😂. Good to see it was a success and I'm looking forward to Cardiff more than ever this year.

To replace Robbo then yes. I'd prefer Howarth to Zengota just for the fact we will need to beat Poole in the playoffs and Howarth is good round there.

Along with Kennett and Kerr

Reports from the riders suggest the track is in good shape. Riders also happy to have the experience, hopefully it's a regular thing but obviously depends on stadium availability.

I agree. There are options out there I'm sure, other sides are looking to improve so should we. Although I think we'd have a chance against anybody in the playoffs we would not be favourites as things stand.

Ashley Birks on twitter said track for Cardiff was in good shape. Also Kennett said it "held up well".

Think we are missing a trick here by not improving the 2nd string. This is where Poole are ruthless and the rest are not.

Adam Roynon also involved today

I would not be at all surprised if Masters qualified.

Practise is Saturday lunchtime I think and it's not compulsory.

Lewis Blackbird is in it and Jason Garrity too apparently.

Jason Garrity and Lewis Blackbird are also apparently invited to this. I may have to much beer last year but wasn't the track ok? The year before there were issues.

In an ideal world i wouldn't have Darcy at Coventry either but it wouldn't stop me from going if we did. We might only have a season and a half left and I'm not going to stop going just because of him.

Releasing Hans would be just idiotic when there is a chance he will be a 2nd string in August. This Darcy rumour is just not likely to me. Ive not worked it out but wouldn't we need more than one change to make that fit?

Zengota to replace Robbo? Good move if true.

Take a draw considering Garritys bike issues. Good to see Hans getting some race wins too.

Let's hope Hans does as well as he usually does at Belle Vue.

A track Hans does well at usually but form is poor. Bomber was great there earlier in the season, hopefully he has solved his issue with his frames. Could go either way but hopeful of a victory with Garrity scoring well.

I pretty much posted that a couple of posts above SCB post too with having King at one. Anyway I was asked a direct question by Had so I'd be a bit ignorant to not reply.

The following month he will likely be a 2nd string unless he scores big this month.

Or King depending on averages etc. Hans still heat leader to next month but I'd be tempted to stick him at 3 and put either King and JK at 1+2.
