"Outgoing" as in removed from the previous declaration by some crazy rule that says you can only have 7 riders in a team. Nothing sinister at all.

last time I checked he was removed from rider profiles tol

Buxton have signed Ben Hopwood as cover for the British passportless Jade Mudgeway.

i think it might be part of a master plan by ben to end up on his doorstep , if the 3rd & 4th bends ever get sorted. good luck ben except when you ride against the eagles , then i hope you get stuck in traffic , twice :wink:

Kenny Bowdery posted a short video of himself practicing, maybe at Iwade. Should be back in the side soon, at number 8 initially, but with Macauley Leake injured today this may change.

Matt Saul has been signed to replace Harvie Banks. Subject to BSPA approval, he makes his debut on Saturday against Cradley.

Crumbs. No arguing that the inclusion of banks in the 1-7 has been as pointless as his scoring powers but i would be very surprised if any Raiders supports were excited about this.

Article says he found Thursday's difficult due to work commitments.

Just had a look at his scores on updates. Hmmmm....

Has an attitude problem full stop. Plus is not what most (Ben Hopwood apart) would consider "race fit" however it could now mean that Conor Locke is not the rider with most falls per meeting from now on........

I remember when they used to bet on which bend Cockle would fall off at Rye,,, Maybe someone could open a book on our current shale sitters ??

Make up of the Raiders team was wrong from the start of the season.

 

Whilst I understand the long term plan is to develop riders for the Rockets the team this year doesn't really do that. Ben is already a Rocket, Rob could/should have been a Rocket & Luke isn't PL level. The other lads, with the exception of George, are not NL level yet. George is still very raw as he only got into side towards the end of last year & could have done with starting at reserve if possible instead of the second string role.

 

However in fairness to the promoters losing Danyon made a huge difference to how this team worked out this year.
