September 13th.

Jack P. is 14 and riding a 500cc in the MDL! There needs to be an age limit somewhere and if we think about it 15 year olds are still kids, let alone 14 year olds. So if the BSPA don't hinder those that can genuinely handle a 500 like Jack P. by actually assessing individual cases on their merits then I think it shouldn't be lowered further.

His dad is in the Armed Forces and is stationed over there.

The only way the rules could be changed (though I don't want them to be) for the likes of Spiller to come in on an average higher than a 3.00 in the future would be to say you have a higher assessed average if you'd ridden in a league abroad. But that doesn't make you a world beater, Sam Woods has ridden in the Danish second tier after all. Eastbourne have done nothing wrong other and are pleasing their fans which is something not enough clubs do imo.

Danyon Hume put on Facebook that he's fractured his scaphoid.

Spiller is living with the Dugards, the same as BWD.

It was the other Worrall.

It's the same as riders who have a team place: it's 4 meetings when you get an average.

Missing reserves can only be covered for by unattached riders that aren't in a 1-7. Which is why Powell, Hunter & Phillips could guest for Banks but Spiller won't be able to.

You have 8 league matches left and you only need 4 for an average, so I guess so.

Any info on Andreas Lyager?

My top 3: Ellis, Bates and Clegg.

He's been replaced by Dmitri Berge.

I worked out what you was referring to Alex, sorry.

The green sheet averages section on the BSPA site show Kelsey as back in the 1-7 and Cottham dropping out of it. Previously Kelsey, and his average, was in the OG bit as he had gone out of the 1-7 to accommodate Cottham. As for Wood, he was at the hospital today and he needs an MRI scan on his knee.

Yep, that's why I said 'if'. I didn't know why Aspegren was missing but I know Hughes isn't an eligible 'NL only' guest.

But the same rule would have made Hughes ineligible too (who was the guest instead) if Aspegren had to be covered by an NL only rider.

Phillips, Chessell, Knuckey or Chapman for Andrews and use R/R for Wood which lets Owen take a ride. Or Priest for Wood and Andews R/R. They're the best looking options imo.

Saturday September 5th.

From an outsider to Rye, it's good to see that Andrew's project seems to have been largely a success. And how about a trophy to top it off!? The NT might be hard against Eastbourne but the Pairs with Branford and Hughes are as good as anybody round Lynn.

From Scunthorpe Telegraph: 'Earlier this week, Auty said: If it is broken it is probably season over for me.'

They can.

Yes and he has a trapped tendon in his knee.

Has anything been said since he went to A & E on Thursday?

Confirmed as broken pelvis. Best wishes to him.
