Thanks for that Probably lack of time, as it's generally last minute.

Name someone

It's a BSPA shared event so any profit is shared out amongst the clubs, Lynn would/should get their staging costs as well.

Phil It's clear substitute riders are done different from before when previously it was done with riders from the challenge. Is their a list of substitute riders that's published or do they just pick someone from the home federation.

The EL and PL racing on different weekly race nights would solve most doubling up issues overnight, allowing any rider to double up taking into account league points limits wouldn't hurt either. I also don't see the problem with squads, judging by the amount of guests some teams have used in recent weeks what's the difference, it would just be using the same guests on a regular basis.

Judging by the team line ups this year everyone has squads, only at the moment they call it guests.

That explains why I thought MJJ was the only substitute but the FIM regs say 077.3.4 Nominated Substitute riders In case of the absence of one or more riders, the first available Nominated Substitute rider or riders, according to their placing in the official Grand Prix “Nominated Substitute Riders list”, will be elevated for that meeting, and take the place of the relevant missing rider or riders. The riders for the official “Nominated Substitute Riders list” will be nominated by the SGP Commission and the SGP Promoter.

I read somewhere that the lower places are determined by count back if they finish level so your first sentence looks correct. As for 3 substitutes I think they only have 1 now which is Jepsen JENSEN at the moment and will be THJ next year.

Good luck to him, never gives up and a genuine nice bloke to boot.

At the end of the day if Harris scores the points he qualifies by right, good luck to him if he makes it.

Certainly hope so.

I went to a Italian GP at Terenzano a few years ago and it was mentioned that nothing over there starts very early, something to do with how Italians do things and I dare say the heat comes into it as well.

I think most people who come on here know their are some head cases and allowances have to be made, Phil Rising is smart enough to know a lot of people appreciate his inside knowledge and help and I am sure the crap he gets from some is mostly ignored like the rest of us have too.

And since when has the BSPA been consistent, apart from cock ups that is. . Naughty Dodger To be fair this is nothing new and it makes not one jot of difference. Biggest problem is the pay rates they offer, it's generally much lower than the rates the clubs pay.

I agree, under the rules they shouldn't have a facility.

A: Watching bikes going round Lakeside and then hearing Rock n Roll being played.

They don't ever reveal attendances so will be amazed if you get a reply.

And you know this as a fact - because?.

It's an interesting idea, haven't heard that one before. An old promoter I knew once told me riders don't go out to come last, I can only say he clearly didn't have the same level of experience of watching the DRYML,s away from home over the years that I had.

No but I would put serious money on Edinburgh getting the second leg

NO most people are well aware what the problem is, unfortunately.

31+6 is what he has got for the Panthers in 2014, but of course thats from 49 rides.

Plymouth PR has DRYML riding, would be nice to see it confirmed but Peterborough haven't issued a PR on the match yet.

Just shows how inept the BSPA are in my opinion, amateurish in the extreme.

I agree Blackbird could be just fitted in if they lose Hall, on the September GSA. Win win all round.
