He did also say it was dependent on a visa which he hasn’t looked into. I’m not sure he would be eligible to get a visa currently either. He hinted at Poole in the paper.

SteveLyric2 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 If he gets the work visa then I guess he'll be back for Poole - depending on what the league set-up, race days and points limits are for next season?! Also it will depend on what reduction on his 7.16 average MF or DF can negotiate?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah hopefully he will be back and would get a amazing reception still loved by most fans and most are sympathetic to his personal issues. Any idea when or if Richie will be back or are we still scouring the world for a replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Richie is giving an update to MF before the 28th. As DF and Middlo have both stated there is no easy (or cheap?) replacement available within Richie's average which would improve things. There may be a lower averaged rider that could mean Nico going to 2, which isn't ideal either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see THJ is getting some reasonable scores lately, could be an option. Just can't see r/r being a good option for the play offs.

SteveLyric2 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Just now, foreverblue said: Ok thanks for that but he can come back after the 28th as he has been injured, is that correct?

For any foreign rider to come over now its the costs of air fares, mechanics, vans in addition to points money/guarantees that make it prohibitive at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thanks possibly Josh Auty maybe best option from the championship but as you said earlier that would mean Covatti riding at 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Says on the Swindon away preview that they 'haven't completely ruled out' replacing Richie in time for the playoffs. R/r is okay as long as no one else gets injured during a meeting, then you're screwed! Esp if it is a reserve.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
