Has to be a decision for a promoter/owner to make, after consulting with relevant people and checking compliance with law and regulations. Then it's a question of assessing the potential risk factors and measures taken to help prevent relapse and are they working and sufficient. Personally, I'd draw the line at convicted sex offenders and murderers.

Bring back Herbie Hancock. Hanging around in the pits, wasting his time, should be out on track

Its on HBO Max, but you need to search very hard to find it. Go all the way through to the summary boxes at the end that just list the sports. I watched it overnight and saw the full coverage including all the rain, track work, rider discussions. Drama.

Fair point but not many of those "countless others" are riding a lethal machine capable of causing injury and even death. How would you feel if you found out the person driving the train you're on has mental illness? Or anyone driving cars on the same stretch of road as yourself? Your answer would probably involve the degree of severity and its actual effect on the person as to his/her ability to safely carry out those things. And the opinion of qualified medics, and that of employers. It's a matter of context and circumstances

Your team manager's comments when Oxford lose come across as very limp and accepting. Where's the fury?

Well now that fully makes sense. I didn't actually hear him, just read it The English would have thought he was pronouncing "scalped" in a posh English way

Having your backside scalped (as Stewart Dickson has described it) must be very painful. Never experienced it myself - is it some S&M thing involving leather and straps?

Think i might be too old for Saga now

Very funny ad popped up as I was scrolling through this thread - a high street cash dispenser with long and orderly queue of grey haired people wearing glasses. Those algorithms obviously have a good sense of humour!

The only report I've seen mentioned him getting something like 4 bonus points in an early season match. I'm presuming the above do not include BP's?

What were his track performances like this season so far, up until the recent accident?

Could Zagar be brought in when he is able to ride again? Or perhaps Jeppesen, if Zagar returns to Northampton? Quite handy, having a B team.

As with Mikkelsen and Ljung (plus another whose name is dont recall) at Leicester ten years ago, the promotion talked complete batrubbish and as is often the case, people believed it!

I'm going to put the case for the 2020's. It's getting a raw deal. Umm, errr, hmmm Case proven🫢

You put your right leg in, your left leg out, you do the Hokey Kokey and you....fall flat on your face. So, Kennett's failing to practice has saved Ipswich from even further embarrassment!
