If so massive loophole to be able to ride without a Rising Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I questioned that on FB. I got the impression Edwards is no longer a RS after he wasn't used as one for Sheffield? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Manager: Ritchie Hawkins Now that Worrall is ruled out, is it not possible for B'ham to redeclare their line-up and have R/R at no.3/4.....surely that would make more sense with Pawlicki being used as and when ?

SPEEDY69 Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 24 minutes ago, hammer1969 said: On the BSPA website Jason Edwards is listed as a 2024 Rising Star I think that's right. One is the minimum but don't think anything prevents a team using two Rising Stars if they want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the isolation rules, just hope the rest of the team aren't affected. Edited June 3 by hammer1969 Added more text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP78 Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 It's a tricky one for sure... Yes, Dan T is a rising star, but he is in the main body of the team based on his average - therefore logic (and I know this is where my comment falls down with british speedway) suggests that you would go like for like... If you have to get a guest for a rising star, at least let the club put them at number 7 and have said club temporarily re-jig their line up, so you push one of the current reserves back into the main body of the team... Poor Freddy riding at number 2, especially with R/R at number 1!? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be logical to be allowed a replacement to his average since he has done so well.But this is Speedway we are talking about . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose all Chris and Ritchie can do now is grin and bear it. By the way are all the flights from Poland on time today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
