Brightonbob Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 NORRIS ON STAND-BY David Norris is on stand-by to answer an SOS from Team GB boss Neil Middleditch for tonight's SWC opener against Denmark, the Czech Republic and Russia at Swindon. The Brits, who have already lost Mark Loram to injury, are awaiting an update on Lee Richardson, who went down with sickness during Swindon's 55-39 defeat at Eastbourne on Saturday night. Norris (pictured) made his return from injury by scoring nine points for the Eagles and is set to come in to replace Richardson if the Swindon star is not well enough to ride.

KevH Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Not going to happen Shazz. Â Taken from speedway.world. Â Lee Richardson will ride in tonight's Speedway World Cup opener at Swindon against Denmark, the Czech Republic and Russia. Richardson was taken ill during Swindon's 55-39 Elite League defeat at Eastbourne last night. He believes he has a 24-hour stomach bug and has been unwell this morning too. "I don't feel great at all," said Richardson, "but I am going to give it a go - I have to really. "I was sick in the pits last night and I haven't been feeling well this morning. But I will be there and I will race." David Norris was on stand-by to replace Richardson, though the Eastbourne rider is not 100 per cent fit after making his return from injury in the win over Swindon.

shazzybird Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 I just think it's not a case of letting your country down it's selfish not letting someone else in. If you are not right then don't ride. If only he has the internet in his flash trailer (why the hell has he got that!!) then he can read this for himself!

frigbo Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 But what you're all missing is that the reason Norris isn't in the team anyway is because he's not fit! Â Wakey, wakey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shazzybird Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Floppy was the one a couple of weeks back that declared himself unfit when Middlo was naming the team for the WTC. After having rides and practise sessions maybe he feels he can and more to the point WILL ride should Middlo need him to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
