Somerset are seriously strong at reserve compared to Swindon. Add to that Doyle showing his team the best lines, this could be very close.

Too many Swindon riders are not performing for this to be close, team decisions made by the promotion now coming back to bite.

In order to even make a match of this Swindon need the top 4 to hit at least 40 odd a big ask  this R/R with no firepower at reserve is a massive no no only opportunity to cover one ride will be Ellis heat 8 , if we run too many meetings like this we will fall out of the top 4 quite easily and i am pretty surprised we are willing to risk this? A stopgap for Bellego is a risk worth taking even if he scored 5 or 6 from number 2? Not inconceivable Adam could lose heat 8 against BWD and we may end up garnering only 1 or 2 from R/R ...
