I cannot believe more has not been made of the very poor conditions. Compare those images to the ones released by Leicester of their new training track and the early winter work that has obviously been going on with the main track. Good job the season doesnt start for two months eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Looks as though Plymouth are heading for a team change after Nico Covatti picked up injuries while racing in Argentina. Taken from Facebook. Last night, during a test of the International Championship of Argentina due to an accident, Nicolas Covatti suffered an injury that required the intervention of the medical staff. From the first news, it appears that the @mclonigo1947 pilot has suffered a fracture in his tibia and pelvis, as well as his right forearm. To Nicolas, who for several years has worn the colors of our alliance, we send our best wishes for a good recovery, with the hope of seeing him back on the saddle as soon as possible.

stevehone Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 i'm looking forward to seeing the track changes at Plymouth, much needed in my opinion, but the worry i have is whether or not the track surface is being changed, i don't know the answer to this. The current surface being more sand based will continue to cut up and be affected more in wet weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Horrible I guess the only small comfort is it looks a clean break and not shattered many bones. He's no spring chicken so you've got to fear may be career done, certainly season ending. Great shame for Plymouth who never have any luck. Moving to Saturday may limit options for replacement unless they try to get temporary one for March and April before European Leagues fully start All the best to both riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought that Covatti would have given Plymouth the rider they needed to help them move far away from the bottom. Without him, what can they do? As it appears Workington aren’t willing to pay for Vissing maybe Plymouth will? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing Claus would leave Plymouth about 2 points under the limit, they need an 8 point rider to replace Nico but nobody obvious without a team already springs to mind.  Gutted for them really as they don’t seem to get any luck, here’s hoping they can find a hidden gem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Claus being interested in signing for Plymouth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
