Roynon has already signed for Coventry

I thought it was 5th Aug? As for our trip to Leicester, we will most likely be going with a 6pt PL rider at no 1 as KK is in the SEC. Not good but we play by the rules 😉

Looks like Leicester have got Swindon running scared after their last two defeats to them 😉 Tungate is their biggest weakness

If he had been sacked though, surely his replacement would have to ride tonight or no facility?

Yes he was okay to ride last night for Somerset? Judging by his recent poor scores in the main body, a guest or even RR should strengthen Swindon.

Not sure the thinking behind Wozniak's guest choice. Weakens Leicester a lot. Swindon are the only team so far to lose to at Leicester (Poole drew) but looking at the line ups, Swindon would have to be very poor to lose tonight esp with riders like Doyle, Morris & Wright who have always been strong there. Good luck to the Lions but predicting 42-48 win

No as Kennett and Lawson are no longer sharing a position

In his current form I thought Leicester would have used Garrity. Shame King & Kurtz are both riding PL

He was replaced by Kennett

That's strange. Should be ok for tomorrow then

He's not a EL reserve either but cos of this year's crazy rules that's where he will be racing

That's including Wednesday's meeting. Pedersen now has a 4 average!

Ludvig Lindgren replaces @SzWozniak at reserve tomorrow for @SpeedwayLions Interesting choice of guest

Friday June 03, 2016 COVENTRY'S second Elite League trip of the season to Swindon has been switched to Monday, July 4. The meeting was due to take place on June 30 but will now take place four days later and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Sky will also be making a second visit of 2016 to Brandon next month, following the Buildbase Bees' highly entertaining last-heat decider win over Wolverhampton in May. That will occur on Monday July 11 for the Coventry v King's Lynn fixture, which was already scheduled to take place on that date.

You know how crazy this season is when not only is Bridger at reserve for Lakeside but even more crazy is Pedersen at reserve for Poole and PK at reserve for Wolves!! Teams like Coventry, King's Lynn (& now Swindon) with draft riders at reserve haven't got a chance against those type of riders

From 6th June Bjarne moves to reserve & Kurtz in to the main team

Any news on the guest for Wozniak (and possibly Tungate) for the return leg?

I get the feeling it won't on this track. Lots of positives about the ability to have good racing and passing on it. If a rider then can't gate or pass, they don't deserve to make the final. Looking forward to it.

I thought Horton said no riders wanted to ride in the uk yet Wolves have managed to bring PK in to replace Bech easily enough. Unless he would only ride for them. Will be interesting to see if other teams are able to make changes (although I doubt Leicester would have signed Watt if lots out there)

Good replacement for Wolves and strengthens them as Bech had been poor. (I wish they had waited till after Monday though 😉) Looking at averages, won't PK be at reserve!

I wonder if it has changed as when Rory got injured at home to Coventry, a reserve was used to replace him rather than mads or Kai. Then when Cook was withdrawn in the sky meeting, A reserve was used rather than Fricke or Richie (although could have been down to Steve riding better on the night) In Swindon's meeting against King's Lynn, Tungate was also replaced by a reserve rather than any of the other team riders when yet Rohan had the 2nd highest average at the time. It all points towards the rule being changed. It's a bit unfair to teams if it has, as if a rider gets injured esp by an opposing rider then why should they be punished.

Was thinking the same.

Tungate is now out for a couple of weeks according to Rosco

Great to hear. 👍🏻 Heard he was brilliant at Belle Vue on Monday as well.

He got a full 15pt Max on our recent visit to King's Lynn. I'm not confident that we will win at Wolves on Monday although he's not my biggest worry.
