Just checked... yes it was, what a memory, couldn't recall that at all. Eagles were already operating R/R that night for Georgie Wood (what happened to him). Eastbourne used 2 guests and R/R. Lawson took 5 rides and the even put 2 riders out in heat 15!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was - Kennett was riding in the World Longtrack on the day of the home leg and Rory Schlein guested, he supposedly aggravated a previous injury and failed to appear for the away leg the following day where Doolan replaced him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall watching them doing practice starts and remarking I didn't realise how similar looking Edward Kennett is to Kev Doolan. The penny dropped that it actually was Kev Doolan, but don't recall any announcement being made about the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
