It would not surprise me if Rob & Dave went down the r/r route for the first month to see how the riders cope & see who has started the season well, maybe, here or in Europe.

That’s not permitted under the rules, unless special dispensation is given.

Didn't Wolves use it for Nick Morris(I still do not know how as he didn't ride for them the previous year) but Danny is a "roll over" rider from last year so is not new to the team.

This area was talked about a bit last year but with no definitive answer.

The rule (Art16.5.2) is:

For an absent rider with
a) an assessed MA
b) has been approved in a team’s declared line-up at the start of the season a 28-day Facility may be granted at the Directors discretion.

This would seem to cater for a case where a 1-7 has been declared and a rider becomes unavailable in the very early part of the season (perhaps injured riding for his PL Club on a Thursday before a Friday CL meeting).

I have just been through last years Wolves Updates/results where Nick did not ride in meetings Early April to Mid May so his 28 day facility must have been extended. On further reading, he received a knock to his wrist, ruling him out of the meeting v Birmingham, so this must have been a pre-season injury in testing/practice.
