He isn't the first son to have failed. Kym Mauger, Tony Briggs, Aiden and Chris Collins come to mind. 

George Stancl and the late Lee Richardson were two  exceptions that come to mind. 

Tony Briggs stacked it big style at Coventry & broke his neck, think he went on to ride a bit of grass / longtrack but was never the same, 'invented' air fence, now has a role within SGP series. Think Kym Mauger made a bit of progress with Newcastle then Glasgow but suffered bad leg break, also returned & rode bit of longtrack in NZ then drifted away, now works in film industry.  Super tough following a sucessful father with a famous surname, extra kudos to those who manage it....

And was it not Tony who came up with the idea of the dirt deflectors?

Claus and Ben declared fit? 

Doubt Claus is fit as Sheffield have already named Drew Kemp as a replacement for Mondays match with Wolves.

The two are not necessarily linked - Sheffield have been allowed to have 'whoever they damn well like' for the playoffs :D

It does say Kemp is replacing Claus as he is still struggling with a knee injury. 

But yes totally agree this bringing in riders at the business end of the season is all wrong when they chose not to ride here the rest of the season. At least Vadim rode at Peterborough we'll before 5he play-off and joining Glasgow.
