This is interesting because I asked this question to a current team manager last week and was also told that Riss couldn’t be brought back when fit which surprised me. I thought he could and that’s why he was names as an “injury replacement” rather than simply a replacement. Perhaps Neil Watson could shed some light here as he’s good with that sort of stuff. Think it’s a moot point anyway. Unless Tungate completely tanks you’d be barking to bring him back in for the play offs after a 6 week lay off where he’s bound to have lost some sharpness. Tungate is a better rider anyway, all things being equal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungate is a better rider anyway, all things being equal. As far as I know, a temporary injury replacement has to be a 1-for-1 change. You bring in a temporary replacement with a lower average than the injured rider, and when the injured rider is back fit, he can retake his place. But that's not what Ipswich have done. They've made a redeclaration of the team, combining the averages of two outgoing riders (plus a bit that they were under the points limit) and redeclared with 2 new riders up to the points limit. It's not a 1-for-1 temporary injury replacement,. In fact Tungate's average is quite a bit higher than Riss. As for the "IRR" on the BV website, that's just a cock-up. "IRR only comes into play if a rider is injured during a meeting and withdraws. Whoever wrote that on the website hasn't a clue what they're writing. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, it would be handy if they made it clear - especially for Belle Vue (IRR … LOL!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect him to do a decent enough job, especially starting at reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Not sure why Ipswich continue using Batchelor at number 5. King is in better form (in both leagues) & should be able to cope better with heat 13. Always find it a shame when a stronger rider gets easier rides than a weaker team mate.
