Not having a programme means I just watch it as it happens! Everyone in the top 4 gets 4 programmed rides between heats 1 and 16, plus a nominated ride (heats 17-20) and if the team is 6 or more points behind the leaders they can also take a tactical ride.

On, so that's five rides each then. How many can the reserve have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought a reserve could have more rides, maybe not unlimited but more than a rider in the top four Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 A reserve can ride in 17 -20 more than once though, whereby no tacticals allowed in those heats . So that has to be an advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Probably no one else wanted to know this answer, but a kind FIM official in Wroclaw has told me that Milik’s nominated Tac Sub ride on Tuesday night was in heat 5. I hope that somehow we are informed tonight and tomorrow when the no 5’s are taking a Tac Sub ride as against a simple reserve change. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockster Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 I suppose a reserve will always take a tac sub ride at the earliest opportunity? He can still take his other 5 rides then. Otherwise he may not get another TS chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that has to be an advantage. If he hasn't used his 4 rides prior to heat 17 it would suggest the other 4 are doing well? It would be an advantage if another rider got a late injury!

Indeed but it would be nice to take the guesswork out of the equation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chun Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) inferior quality teams are best served putting their trump card at reserve and then using their tacticals amongst the ‘best of the rest’ to stay in touch, holding the reserve back for the final heats. bit of a stupid format to be honest.

Yes i didn’t word it very well that an hour before the start is a long time so they will no doubt have to fill the time with some highlights - which as i write is exactly what they are doing !!!
