full-throttle Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 will he be riding tomorrow after withdrawing from tonights meet at eastbourne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerblues Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 He was only feeling ill, so I'd think so, unless its anything really serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) Blimey! If losing one selection is bad luck and losing two is carelessness, what does that make three?! Presumably Norris would be back in if Rico does pull out, having ridden in the same meeting. Given the recent run of Richardson form it wouldn't be a great loss.

Mr. Clemens Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 I said he looked like 'death warmed up' in the pits on monday night. Looks like he's sunk even further into the pits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerblues Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Rico and Scotty are our GP guys, they're the best in the team IMO. We need both of them 100% fit if we want to get anywhere near beating the Danes. You've gotta admit, they look excellent, with Nicki P, Bjarne and Hans currently doing excellent. All the best to Lee and we can only hope he's ok for tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) Its funny how he is unwell when he is on the outside of Nicki in heat 13 Whats his excuse going to be tomorrow when they meet Think its an excuse to save himself 4 tomorrow he looked ok to me laughing and joking Sicknote has got no bottle Edited July 30, 2005 by Eastie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate paul Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Think its an excuse to save himself 4 tomorrow he looked ok to me laughing and joking <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Probably, but then whats more important, the world cup or a meeting between two teams whose seasons are over already?

This meeting could be the difference between us overtaking you or not. 8 behind with 3 meetings in hand.

Eastie Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 The World cup may start tomorrow but the chances of us winning the tournament are zero, I'm a realist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BertHoven Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Get David Norris in, his performance at belle vue was shocking!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Many people at Belle Vue are waiting to see Norris perform there. There is a widespread concensus of opinion in Manchester that Mr Norris considers that the northern air can seriously damage his health.

Looks like he's sunk even further into the pits. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The fact is Mr. C, Richardson has ALWAYS looked like that, somehow I am quite convinced that he will be back to full health today, and fully prepared for this evenings BIG meeting. There are those that suggest hypochondria, when they speak of Richardson, of course, I am not amongst such a group! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the British Final. Yes he was having bike problems but so was Chris Louis who after his 1st 2 rides had no chance of winning but tried all night and won his last race. Lee was probably on his way home then. If things dont go well he has no fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdl123 Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 taken from www.british-speedway.co.uk NEW GB FITNESS WORRY Sunday, July 31, 2005 GREAT Britain boss Neil Middleditch was left sweating on the fitness of Lee Richardson overnight ahead of their World Cup opener at Swindon. Richardson pulled out of Swindon’s Elite League clash at Eastbourne after three rides with illness. Middleditch said: “I sent a text message to Lee to check on him and he responded saying he had been sick and needed a good night of sleep.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to both these lads and the rest of the team too. Nothing is a forgone conclusion and there is no reason why adversity (and the team being written off) can be the motivation to upset all predictions and come out on top.

The WTC has come 3 weeks too early for him. Edited July 31, 2005 by Eastie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
