League Riders Championship 6th April 3pm (Scunthorpe)


Recommended Posts

A couple of the replacement riders are not in average order.

Zischke (6.96) chosen ahead of Castagna (7.11) - before Castagna subsequently got injured. Although Tate would've gotten a pick if Bachelor pulled out. Not sure if Batch will be riding after missing the Pairs.

Now Vuolas (6.40) picked ahead of Flint (6.85) & Thomson (6.53)!

Castagna was always unavailable for this. He’s supposed to be riding in the Italian championships today.

Thompson pulled out of the pairs before yesterday as was going to replace howarth,  think he was carrying a small injury   and would have had 5 meetings in 5 days

Riss has withdrawn after his crash yesterday too.

Where did you see that news?
It's a shame, because Erik is going really well just now and is entertaining to watch.

Second week of racing done  

 

Started off with the first Premiership meeting at Oxford on thursday and scoring 20pts from 7 rides, which was a great score for myself. Unfortunately we lost 42-48 to Ipswich on the night.

 

Yesterday, Charles Wright and myself competed in the Championship Pairs for Redcar at Workington.

After having to retire in my first ride due to mechanical issues, I managed to only drop 1 point to an opposing rider and me and Charles secured the win for Redcar 🏆

 

Unfortunately I crashed in the final of yesterday’s meeting. Even tho I continued riding in the re-run I later on realized I have injured my shoulder in the incident. I was due to race at the CLRC at Scunthorpe today, but unfortunately I am not capable to ride my bike today and have to pull out of the meeting. It’s a big shame as it’s a meeting I have been looking forward to for a long time.

Maybe there's too many foreign fixtures to avoid all of them, but the idea of the early riders Champ so they'll have the strongest possible field doesn't seem to have made a difference. I've also heard Flint is in Germany, so not available.

Thankfully doesn't sound like many of the injuries are serious, so riders won't be out for long.

Interesting to see if his injury “heals” on the flight back to Italy.

Clubs can pick 2 of their top 3 riders anyway. Even if Castagna felt 80% fit & would normally ride through the pain for a league match, could have decided an 100% Thomson gave Monarchs the best chance of success.

So still replacements to find for Troy and Riss, glad I’m not bothering with the eight hour round trip for this.

That’s Cook, Kildemand, Klindt, Batchelor, Riss, Kerr, Flint, Castagna all missing with 2 more riders to find at 4 hours notice.

Along with no Brennan, Ben Cook, Pickering, Nicholls, Schlein from previous seasons.

Hope there’s a good crowd like there was yesterday at the GTS Tyres Arena.
