Phil The Ace 2,853 Posted May 9, 2014 If Payne's not recovered, not much of a choice left from the FT list - perm any one of only 3!!? He's not riding Saturday as he's having a rest so doubt he will ride Monday Should imagine matt williamson will ride. And he's local Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMW 533 Posted May 9, 2014 If Payne's not recovered, not much of a choice left from the FT list - perm any one of only 3!!? Best hope he's fit then !!!

foreverblue 6,081 Posted May 9, 2014 Thought you had to have r/r if you only have one rider missing and he isn't your no.1 or a reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,853 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Thought you had to have r/r if you only have one rider missing and he isn't your no.1 or a reserve. No, you can have a guest for anyone in the 1-5 this year Edited May 9, 2014 by Phil The Ace 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted May 9, 2014 In a situation like this, say Belle Vue are in need of a guest for their injured rider Lee Payne, and bearing in mind they have just change him in the FTR arrangement, cant they get a guest for the rating of Ben Reade or has it now got to be governed by Lee Payne standing???????

We can only get a guest for whoever is in our officially declared 1-7. Which Payne is meaning we only can have a choice of 2 guest's (matt williamson or freemantle) It's just one of them unfortunate risks that has backfired on us. Hopefully Payne will be fully fit soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted May 9, 2014 So if Williamson and Freemantle weren't available they would have to go with just one Reserve ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted May 9, 2014 So if Williamson and Freemantle weren't available they would have to go with just one Reserve ? This is one of the areas where the FTR system fails. Probably, there could be, or could've been, a pool of 5/6 riders, all of equal ability, free to guest in situations like this. It seem lack of thought means teams like BV have little choice who to pick, and that can't be right......... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,820 Posted May 9, 2014 No, you can have a guest for anyone in the 1-5 this year Indeed, plus you can have guests for any 1-7 member this year, and no need to declare any of them either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob B 1,245 Posted May 11, 2014 Been some heavy showers over the weekend but today wasn't as bad as expected, there was some sunshine inbetween the showers and has been a strong wind. Depends what it is like during the night, don't think it will take too much more rain. Tomorrow forecast is better but with the chance of some showers.
