Norrie said last night that they had spoken to a rider already. But would need to get the deal done today so they can declare in time for the Swindon meeting.

 

Cheers, the way he's been riding I doubt it'd take much persuading to part ways with Walasek. They must have someone lined up to replace him (or a guest I suppose) if they're talking about declaring the team for Wednesday

That weather forecast is >72T !

To early to be believed! As low as 15% reliability at that distance..

So what is the reliability 48 hours in advance which seems to be the point at which Sky decide whether they're going to turn up or not?

>48T is a little more reliable than >72T, but a lot depends on the general weather set up..

At this time of the year, it's (the weather) is in A transitional state, very fluid, very unpredictable. The jet stream, polar vortex, el nino, the azores, it's a right old melting pot, and a shift of only a few milibars either way can change a forecast drastically...

Summers is a good signing if he will ride as a 2nd string. Not convinced if as a heatleader although that said he couldn't do any worse than Walasek. You know he will give 100%

 

At present, there only looks to be 3 fixtures clashes with Glasgow so should be available for most meetings

Before the season started Leicester wanted to sign Ben Barker but they were prevented from doing so by Glasgow because they did not want to risk him being injured or having any bike problems just before any of their matches the following day. Presumably they have no such worries regarding Aaron Summers.

Well done Leicester on signing Aaron Summers. I think everyone would have liked him back at Swindon this year had he been able to be fitted in.

 

May not be the top heatleader you need, but a good rider to have in the side.

If Ben had signed then Glasgow would possibly have lost Ben in matches that clashed, but Aaron is a Glasgow asset so we have first choice, also I think Ben is more injury prone than Aaron
