orion 7,612 Posted November 28, 2013 As it is also rumoured that r/r will take immediate effect in the event of injury, then presumably each team will have to have a named Number 8, who could also cover for a reserve injury!! Be great, just get your worst rider to pretend he's hurt and bring in the better rider . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starman2006 2,354 Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) To fit in with the need to save costs they are having one heat only, of sixteen laps, with 14 riders in it, then you do not need any TS,RR or GD, simples I heard we will be having four staggered starting gates, and it will be run on a Handicap system, where the reserves will be on the front rows and so on. Darcy Ward starts a lap behind, just to give the others a chance... Edited December 15, 2013 by Starman2006 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattK 3,447 Posted December 15, 2013 Still no news of the new race format then to the speedway fans & have to guess that the promotors must know as they keep naming riders?? Did someone post that the top 3 riders have to line up at 1, 3 and 5, although in any order? Or did I dream that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted December 15, 2013 Did someone post that the top 3 riders have to line up at 1, 3 and 5, although in any order? Or did I dream that? It's all still rumours, rumours, rumours & the silence from the clowns who run the sport & said there would be a new race format is baffling. What other sport could see riders or players signed up & the people who pay their wages are left in the dark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brummie Kev 519 Posted December 15, 2013 Did someone post that the top 3 riders have to line up at 1, 3 and 5, although in any order? Or did I dream that? I put it on the BSPA AGM thread in the General section last week, your highest averaged rider doesnt have to ride at 1 but your top 3 must ride 1, 3 or 5. Also you have the guest option if ANY of your top 5 are out. Drury said it at last weeks Brummies talk in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
