If not then a replacement will be signed for September/October. (in my opinion of course.)

Can’t be that far off a return. He will have to be replaced if he isn't fit soon but as we know there are very few if any viable options on his average and it would have to be like for like. We could of had Freddie Jacobsen but can't use him under the rules so just have to hope Richie comes back and doesn't need too many meetings to ride to his capabilities.

Poole went into the playoffs without Ward and lost. Couldn’t cover for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got lucky last season, Harris was on fire and guests are usually a problem, Ellis wasn't good and MPT was going well when he got injured.

Seems a plus tho. Just to be clear, with only Richie missing from the 1-5 then only r/r or a permanent replacement are the options! Could only use a guest for Richie if r/r was already in operation for another rider! Also once we get to the play offs, if there are any more injuries then guests can only come from the 3 non-qualifying teams or the CL.

You can, as other teams have had no choice. Ideally you would either want him back or sign a replacement before the cut off date. 4 hours ago, Skidder1 said: Just to be clear, with only Richie missing from the 1-5 then only r/r or a permanent replacement are the options!

The play offs limit you for guests, unfairly, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
