mdmc82 2,878 Posted September 1, 2014 I'd just like to give a massive shout-out to Bomber, who'd driven over night from Poland to ride for the Bees in a double-header, amazing energy and a true professional. He must have been well & truly knackered by the end of last night. agree. 12 hour drive just to get back in time and still was part of some brilliant races in the morning with his last to first move and also vital heat 15 really hope we have Harris as first rider back next year Now if we'd just said MJJ was with holding his services we could have probably argued in mitigation for only a 14 day ban as he had to ride in the play-offs (which in the past was allowed!) and used guests for 14 days - but could have used better guests. I wonder if all those who were happy for Ben to replace MJJ are so happy now. brilliant and very true post. Biggest mistake that has been made by Horton IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted September 1, 2014 agree. 12 hour drive just to get back in time and still was part of some brilliant races in the morning with his last to first move and also vital heat 15 really hope we have Harris as first rider back next year Would Mjj had done the same journey for yesterday? I really don't think he would have and that might just be the reason why the change was made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluTiger 21,687 Posted September 1, 2014 Would Mjj had done the same journey for yesterday? I really don't think he would have and that might just be the reason why the change was made. He would have flown in. This change is on a par with those made at Boro recently...Garbage.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,931 Posted September 1, 2014 Coventry have thrown the league title away, Horton has dismantled both his clubs who stood a great chance of winning the EL and PL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted September 1, 2014 No he hasn't done Coventry any favours, but Panthers was purely injuries, and replacements who couldn't get close to the riders they've replaced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not that simple to get a flight at that short notice, Harris would have surely got a flight if it was easier and times fitted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
