I believe the twins will be at Redcar. Should Leicester release them (or have to?), Dan can be replaced by a rider up to his average (5.40) I believe, as he is not included in the team as a rising star, Joe is.

Thompson's don't really ride MPA very well. It'll be R/R for Dan and upto 2* guest for Joe (Jack Thomas maybe?!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On current averages I think only Kyle could take 1 of his rides and Zaine & whoever replaces Joe sharing the remaining 3. Think I'd consider Kasper Andersen for Dan. Berwick don't appear to be riding next Friday. Scored a shed load for Berwick at Redcar (14 points). With Dan at 5.40 and Kasper at 5.39 looks like he'd be a good fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick finish their fixtures tonight. Kasper Anderson still has three fixtures left for Kings Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan isn't in the top 3 averages so I don't think a guest could replace him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, me and quite a few around me also. But then we went to Mildenhall yesterday and some of the talk was that the twins don't go all that well at Redcar anyway (?). So we might be better off.

Where's the surprise? Twins have to ride in the national championship. R/R is the only option for Dan and Jack Thomas is the best 2* option!

I was under the impression that as he is in the main body of the team, a guest is allowed but I'm forever trying to get my head around the rule book so would appreciate you explaining why this doesn't apply in this case. As the saying goes, you learn something new every day!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Has to be top 3 in averages or a reserve apparently for a guest booking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the saying goes, you learn something new every day!!! Top 3 are allowed a guest. 4/5 are R/R unless you have more than one rider missing then you can choose who is R/R and who is guest (ie. You can run R/R in top 3 and have a guest for 4/5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
