Correct. Think he is also currently around 2.50 but Statman will know the exact figure Im sure.

All this "having a year out" talk is nonsense - It's only a week!

He fell in heat 13 away to Sheffield last Thursday and didn't compete in heat 15 then either. Josh has been excellent this season so there is big boots to fill if he's still unfit.

Some form of leg injury I believe.

Christ....

It's been mentioned on another thread that the fixture list is one of the major problems with British Speedway at the moment, and this is just further proof. Let's hope Josh is fully recovered by next weekend.

What team news is that?

What's the full story behind that then?

Probably our biggest test to date. If Bates and Garrity ride like they did on the tele the other night, throw in Stead, Howarth and co they we are right up against it!

Give me strength....

If Jamie Smith crashed, he never seemed to do it by half measures did he?!

I guess it's not also just their fitness, but their availability too. But I'm with you, over 2 legs they have the beating of anybody.

Absolutely - my post wasn't intended as a criticism of any of the other riders, just extra praise for Rohan.

Jake and Bradley have recieved masses of praise as the main contributions to our success this season, but it's Rohan who has been the real star for me. Nobody could of predicted after going stale at Ipswich the amount of match winning performances he's had for us. He is stupidly quick at the OTA and banging in really impressive performances on the road. 'Mon the Rebels!

He was brilliant to watch at Somerset too the other week. Can't gate if his life depended on it but can race for sure!

Ostergaard was very poor last night.

Spencer I believe, who writes in the programme. He did a good job and world be great if he could mix in with Pete on a regular basis. Agreed - BWD had so much more speed tonight and was right 'on it'. A spell at reserve looks like it'll do him wonders.

Yep - the music tonight was an absolute abortion. The presentation team was good though, very much on par with our usual guy on the centre green. If speedway races were over 2 laps Perry would of scored okay tonight but for some reason kept tailing off a couple of laps. Holub on the other hand was just awful full stop!

Matej Kus can be good at Somerset, but he's certainly no Craig Cook which is a disappointment for both sets of supporters. With such a long tail and lack of top end power, this could be another thrashing.

See the Somerset thread, as you was quoted as saying he was a gamble....

So Rye House under the old promotion and then Somerset.... 2 teams out of 13 is hardly a lot.

I particularly like Shads comment after the comments on the other Rye/Somerset thread

It's hilarious the amount of people saying now how many of them predicted BWD was going to average 5.00. At the time when we signed him nearly every man and his dog said he was a poor signing on that average. How wrong they all were!

I didn't see many clubs queuing up when BWD got saddled with a 5.00 average.

He sure does. There hasn't been many people that have beaten Kennett around Rye this year, let alone twice in one night.
