Cruel sport at times although the riders safety is paramount. Joe Thompson & Sheldon Davies concussed on the same day but due to age and fixtures Davies misses nothing Joe is likely to miss 5 matches including the KOC semi finals however with his average going over 7 from 1st August there is plenty of guest options available.

Thanks for this.

So Adam Exstance has been involved in both Thompsons suffering bad  accidents within a week. I am not pointing an accusing finger at Adam Exstance here but it unfortunately illustrates the point. But the lads will have hopefully learned to be wary of which riders they are trying to get past. It looked like last week Exstance wasn't all that aware of Dan coming past between him and the fence although I wasn't looking from directly behind and the ref decided to exclude Dan and someone has suggested that Exstance slowed up and it caught Joe out, who was probably quicker.

Dan performed a stunning overtake of Ben Wilson last week, edge of the seat stuff, but Wilson is an experienced rider who would be expected to have good awareness and he did duly allow Dan the room to complete the pass safely.

The accident involving Adam was caused by Joe carrying  to much speed  into turn 3 & as he tried to go around Adam he clipped his back wheel sending them both off their bikes. It was in no way Adams fault. Joe of course was excluded.

Somewhere in the mists of forum time I asked what was going to happen when the big boys started bullying the Thompson. They both have talent but only know one way to turn the throttle and no experience. Not surprised they are now getting hurt.

Whilst im certainly not saying that any injuries sustained are anyone's fault as ive not seen the incidents it does re-raise the question should 15 year olds be in league racing? The youth and enthusiasm is clearly evident along with some ability but is it a matter of time until there are issues? Its not acceptable (just entertaining) when there is a bit of handbags after a race or after a rider is brought down by a reckless move but if one of the riders is 15 it opens up a whole bag of trouble that it shouldn't as all riders on track should be equally accountable for their actions. The child protection laws are getting tighter and tighter, i assume the Thompsons and others all change separately to the main team or have appropriate adults present.
