Yet Swindon haven't rearranged with Coventry and they have Kaspazak & Bates missing.

Bates & Sarjeant haven't been scoring great so not sure about that. Neither would cope in top 5. Hopefully Garrity has his bike problems sorted now.

Oh no, sounds concerning. Fingers crossed things work out for you. 👍🏻🙏🏼

Not about being a team man. Newman knows there was no chance that Ford would have him in his team if he wanted to start in the top 5. Garrity had offers for a few teams to start in the top 5 of their teams. Coventry had to use him or lose him as others were after him. It would have made it easier for Bees if he had started at reserve but it's the pairing our management picked in the draft that weakens us as both lower down their lists

Crump is British as born in the uk but still represented Australia

He's had a brilliant start to the season, Has really surprised me so far. Scored 3,3,3,3,1 against Poole & 3,2*,2,3 against Leicester. Been overtaking when not making the gate which isn't something you always see with him. Could have seen him scoring well tomorrow if he had been riding. Big loss.

Exactly. I'm not quite sure why our promotion picked the 2 reserves we have. They should have picked one or the other

Exactly. Doesn't want to over do it does he. British Final would have been chance to get used to the track before the SWC. The main reason Tai picked Britian to ride for and not Australia is because at the time he wouldn't have got in to the Aussie team as they had so many riders better than him at that moment. Team GB didn't.

I personally am glad he's not riding in it as think it should only be Brits who ride in the British league that should be in the British Final. Tai wouldn't have won it last year if not for a rerun. I'm not a fan of Woffy's and don't support him in SGP even if he is British. Yes he may be a very good rider but he has a huge ego (must be the Aussie in him) As for the Team GB captain, If I was Rosco I would have gave it to Harris. 100% commited to British speedway

Will wait and see what he scores as wasn't very often last year that Hans scored double figures at no 1 or even in a lower position once his average dropped. I guess we will see tomorrow. I imagine instead of using a rider higher on the draft to cover Bates, we will use Roynon who is lower than Sarjeant on the tier 2 list? Would personally use Adam for if Sarj is missing & use a rider like Starke to cover Bates tomorrow

You said he's good enough to ride as a number 1. I disagree. So far KK has been better for us in a handful of meetings than Hans was in 2years

😂😂😂😂 He's scoring points as a 2nd string. No longer no 1 rider

No where near a like for like replacement for Kaspazak who is hardly dropping a point. Andersen is scoring OK as a 2nd string not a no 1. He's crap as a number 1

Are you joking?? Hardly good enough and definitely not a number 1.

Coventry will be without Josh Bates & Kaspazak. Missing Kaspazak is a huge blow for Coventry as he has been amazing in the first 2 meetings of the season against Poole (3,3,3,3,1) & Leicester scoring (3,2*,2,3) He is going to be very hard to replace with a strong enough guest

Is this the song you are looking for?

Coventry bees have already had 2 meetings, plus Bomber's testimonial in the space of 2 weeks so think people may have spent money already on those this month and having to wait for pay day. Unfortunately the crowds are never big worn having 2 teams but they are usually better than today's

I like Ryan but he is not strong enough for the top 5

Well done Eastbourne. Knight & Wood were both impressive. Powell was a liability, has no control. Felt for Coventry having two riders withdrawn. Hope Knuckey is okay after his horrible crash. Meeting was over after we went down to 5 riders.

A paid Maximum for Chris Harris today in his first meeting of the season in Poland. 👏

Those moaning about all adults paying the same (although children are free) can save money & their moaning next year when we might have no stadium or speedway to watch!! 😕

Track at midday, drying nicely, looking good for 4pm start. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CeoZ0DeWwAAkfQ1.jpg:large

http://m.bbc.co.uk/weather/cv8 Weather forecast for the rest of the day is for sun. Here's hoping its right. Sunny at the moment 🌤

On current form I would agree. Roynon has been through a lot over the last few years and it shows in his confidence on track. I think Coventry might be using him anyway on Thur as Bates a missing although with Bates being on tier 1, I think they would be better to use a rider higher up the list.

Garrity will be racing for Coventry & Bates will be racing for Sheffield
