iand 133 Posted July 31, 2013 The bike will need to be faster than the one he was riding for us then Bolly. On the basis that Olly's return is imminent can we keep him, Garrity and Pontus by redeclaring. Once fit that would be some 1-7. Green sheet averages on BSPA show Rye have already declared with averages showing Allen 8.77 Melgren7.13 Nelson 5.99 Bunyan 5.73 Garrity 5.35 Asprgen 5.25 Lykke 4.27 Just noticed rye press release showing no Allen Garrity and Nelson this weekend . Grajznek for Allen, Hopwood for Garrity and R/R for Nelson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bolly 96 Posted July 31, 2013 The bike will need to be faster than the one he was riding for us then Bolly. On the basis that Olly's return is imminent can we keep him, Garrity and Pontus by redeclaring. Once fit that would be some 1-7. Already done see BSPA site. Good news, Pontus at reserve in new averages. Bad news, Olly had test this morning and is not strong enough to ride yet. Jason G, if he comes back this weekend I think it will be a bit too soon ? Nelson has a hand injury picked up last week Guest News - Honorary Rocket Josh Gracjonek will guest this weekend.. Lets hope we can put a full 1-7 soon.

iand 133 Posted August 12, 2013 According to Rye press release on main website Garrity is back for Rye next Saturday against Ipswich at reserve in the new averages. Does this mean that Pontus has done enough meetings for his average to rise, as at the moment it shows less than Jason's. Pontus 5.25 Jason 5.35 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pontus 5.25 Jason 5.35 Your right Ian, unless as you say, there is another GSA average change sheet being issued this week and Pontus will have his new actual average in place ? The list says Jason Garritty in main body and Pontus at reserve. Which is fine by me, give time for Jason to get back to racing fitness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The list says Jason Garritty in main body and Pontus at reserve. Which is fine by me, give time for Jason to get back to racing fitness. Agree with you Bolly. Jason at reserve would be a big ask after so long out. The likelihood is that he'd have to take an extra ride to cover Kasper, who's been less than effective, especially away. He'd be better off at 3 or 4 while he settles in and let Pontus take any extra rides, especially if Jason is feeling his injury during a meeting I'm not totally convinced he'll be back this weekend anyway.

Ben91 1,743 Posted August 13, 2013 Pontus stays at reserve which is for the best while JG gets back into the swing of things. Once JG is back and firing if we can get all 7 riders on track each meeting we've got one heck of a team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bolly 96 Posted August 13, 2013 Len and John S, still being quoted in todays mercury as saying Jason G will ride at reserve on Saturday. How does that work then ? Lykke and Aspgren are 2 lowest averages as per the GSA issued last weekend. Yet more GSA's to be issued this week ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan_Jones 1,005 Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) The qualification for a rider on an assessed average to obtain a real average is 4 home/4 away. Having ridden in 6 away meetings, Pontus' 4th home meeting was the Leicester match. The new average takes effect after 7 days. According to the Rockets' site, his GSA will be 7.09, making him 3rd heat leader. Edited August 13, 2013 by Alan_Jones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben91 1,743 Posted August 14, 2013 Ah that makes sense then, so Garrity will be in at reserve. Whilst it may be a strain on him coming back from injury as I've said before he's not the sort of rider who will be doing a half hearted job so I still think he'll score well.

Pretty sure that Len & John would've checked with the BSPA, so no problems there. I'm still not 100% convinced that Jason will ride Saturday. It's a tough one against Ipswich.

iand 133 Posted August 14, 2013 If Jason is unfit. Would we still have to operate with a NL substitute?. Normally you are allowed a guest for your top reserve, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,134 Posted August 14, 2013 If Jason is unfit. Would we still have to operate with a NL substitute?. Normally you are allowed a guest for your top reserve, I should think the same rule would apply whether he was reserve or in the main 1-5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bolly 96 Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Isn't there another one of these anomalies that says if an injured rider is declared in a 1-7 and has not ridden since declaration of the team, only an NL guest is allowed ?? No r/r or PL guest ?? Edited August 14, 2013 by bolly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
