Allow the second and third best riders in the team take all his four rides between them..? Unless the manager thinks someone else might score more..? All riders below the No1 should be able take as many of his rides as needed up to a max of seven each per meeting.. At present the two Second Strings are scheduled to take two of his rides, which isn't much of a plan.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GP meeting really should have been on Saturday like all the others so it didn’t interfere with any league racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Also why dont they look at riders commitments when deciding who rides in which Qualifier, Charles Wright could of ridden at Glasgow or in France and been able to still fulfill his Peterborough fixtures commitment without the need of a guest, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lets send Charles to a track he has never ridden and see how he gets on. Lambert should of been sent to Germany tonight due to his previous upbringing on German tracks and sent Charles to Glasgow and we could of had 4 riders in the challenge rather than the 3 which I suspect we will. But I hope Charles proves me wrong and qualifies tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I understood it to be we have 5 slots, 2 at Glasgow, the 1 at all of the others in, France, Germany and Slovakia. And its down to the organisation to decide, I may be wrong. .

Can’t see that the gate would have been as big with two of Harris, Bewley and Wright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valid point - certainly Harris would not have been a great draw for Glasgow fans Id expect there was a pecking order with the riders choosing and its likely Wight had Hobsons..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
