Expand And if you don’t have a team to support or has closed down? quick question on the guest for Cook. Have the rules changed to allow guest for any missing rider? thought it was only your number one or reserves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand not sure it should really imo as a general point you can have too many guests. there is a place for r/r and covering second strings if not second and third heat leaders is it that said 7v7 in a grand final feels more satisfactory and when the guest hasn't actually competed in the play offs as his team didn't make it then it's not so bad. gets a bit silly when riders are riding for and helping direct rivals of their own team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it be rained off when the forecast is dry? If the 50-50 chance of a morning shower is accurate, the track could be perfect.
