Ulrich has broken his hand in 3 places!  

Ostergaard & Brennan have identical 6.62 aves for August. Makes a big difference who has the higher place in the team deceleration. If it's Ostergaard Glasgow get the choice of guest or r/r (Basso gets a ride), if it's Brennan only r/r allowed (Basso doesn't get a ride).

Yeah blodorn and etheridge have missed meetings but used Z Cook instead. Defeats the purpose of the no.8 imo. Connor definitely needs more racing, anytime couple weeks off he's off the pace when start again 

The number 8 is only really to cover the Rising Star and R/R but I take your point, anything which could reduce the number of mix-and-match guests would get my vote.

My own team.has been built to always have a heavyweight reserve but if that rider got injured and had to be covered by our number eight then thems the breaks.

Reading the comments about who will get dropped for the Jubilee Final, for Poole would 100% be Ablitt, for Glasgow gotta be Connor Bailey, been very poor recently (especially away from Ashfield), for Leicester (if they qualify) would be Joe Thompson for me, he rarely scores anything away from Leicester.

Yeah kind of defeats the purpose to me, in BV situation I'd say probably now be more worried if Tom was missing and having to use Connor in main body (if that's how it works) than replacing for example etheridge. 

Other clubs as you say, Ipswich would need to try and locate Rowe to replace riss now as Hume was the no.8 but as you say if that's the rules...

I'll be there Steve waving me Jolly Roger! :party:

I do agree with you though about having a 3 leg final. Why change the format for the Final?

I'll never ever get me noddle around the inner thinking of the B.S!(PA) when deciding where & when things are held & I include the Championship Riders'Final in that especially now being on a Wednesday. No thought for the supporters at all on that one!

 

They'll be holding the British Final on a Monday Next!!!!  Oh hang on......but those that miss it will probably see a stronger lineup (ex Bewley) at Poole on 24th!!

Yeah Lemo has his faves and if you not one of them, you are kinda screwed! If BV gonna use a Cook as a guest last time should have been Ben as Zach wasn't in form then.

Connor isn't going to see much action in August. Three meetings at home to Brum, away at Redcar and Plymouth and that's it. If Tigers are second then their play off semi is unlikely to be before mid September so it could be just three meetings in six weeks. 

Connor in same position as Ben Cook then? Only riding for the one club? I know it was only against Birmingham but for Ben to get paid 16 at Brum and paid max at Poole takes some doing when not getting the extra meetings! 

They both probably jump at the chance for some guest bookings. Maybe Connor will get a call for Tues!

Brennan's average is fractionally higher - 6.621 compared to Ulrich's 6.615.

I would think Leicester would drop Clegg

Least the weather was nice yesterday. 
 

Thought we were pretty poor, looked like we were struggling for speed all day. Would’ve been interesting if Sam was fit as he would’ve probably been good for 5 points more than what Douglas got. 
 

Anyway hopefully that’s the last of the summer cup or jubilee cup for us and the league cup comes back next year.

It’s a shame about Masters,not many guests will do the job that he was doing.Think there will be a raffle to see who gets Harris in the Play offs.!!
