With all the injuries we have had over the last few seasons they still go into a meeting using RR without a no. 8. How much does it cost to have a national league rider at the track as a no. 8. As you can only use riders with averages below the injured rider for IRR at least we would've had 2 riders in heat 14 tonight, it probably would still have been a 1-5 but at least we would've had 2 riders in it. Looking at the regulations: 18.8.2 Where a Team uses the RR Facility, they may nominate an additional rider (AR), who is eligible to take any rides that could have normally been taken by the absent rider during the Meeting, provided that the nominated rider is another contracted Rider, but not included in an SGB Premiership or Championship League Team's currently declared 1-7 and whose MA does not exceed an SGB Premiership or Championship MA of 2.00. That would suggest the the Number 8 can only take R/R rides so would not have been eligible for heat 14. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Thanks for explaining that I thought a NL no.8 could be used like a reserve in such circumstances like last night. Still it would be better to have a no.8 named as what if the two riders had crashed out in their first rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
