But I think with a tactical ride if you have a number 5 and 7 out of each team and suddenly replace the reserve with your number 1 the 5 1 wouldn't be on more like a 2 4 other team, ( so basically home team gains 6 points other teams lose 3) So basically your dropping your reserve and putting in your heat leader for 6 points. This also puts the momentum back with the side who just got the 8 1. Speedway is the only sport I can think of which rewards you for losing and gives you a chance, surely this just means you have awful reserves and replace them both each meeting with a tactical.

My first post so please be kind, have watched speedway for years and still can't work out the point of a tactical ride. Only sport I know of that you can be losing but then be allowed to get extra points. Last night at swindon they won by 7 and had to get a 3 3 to deny Poole a point, but poole got given an extra 3 for a tactical ride which gives score a false look. Seems to be most meetings this happens, just can't work out how it's fair on the side winning.
