Crazy robin 2,963 Posted July 14, 2018 Zach withdrew after 2 rides as fell & excluded in his 3rd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReadingRacer2017 159 Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) I don’t like to wish injury on any rider. R/R is not the answer, Bellego could be out for 12 weeks if not more. Zach apparently not in a good way either. Went straight to hospital. Edited July 14, 2018 by ReadingRacer2017 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it’s a broken scaphoid, 12 weeks is the norm for recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's not confirmed as yet or there is no explicit info, best not to speculate. Depending on severity, and if it's displaced or not, recovery can be a lot less than that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please don't comment on stuff you know squat about. Apologies to Bald Bloke aswell - i thought i was replying to the chap who is souring my club name. Edited July 14, 2018 by The Doctor... .

Midland Red 2,383 Posted July 15, 2018 If Bellego's out does that promote Bomber in the GP Challenge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Harris should not be allowed anywhere near the GP challenge, Craig Cook is bad enough. If the FIM see sense they will promote Hampel and not Harris.

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted July 15, 2018 Could Swindon make two changes now because of David's injury??? annoying really because David was in good form at Belle Vue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends on how long he is out - scaphoid can heal quite quickly but can also be troublesome. As someone else has said R/R wouldn’t work the way the team has been built. If out for more than a couple of weeks, I would look at getting a stronger reserve (to replace Smith) and sign the best of who’s available with the remaining average. Will obviously see how Monday goes and go from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC2 11,150 Posted July 15, 2018 Hougard, Auty, Barker, Garrity, Kennett are the obvious replacements for David Bellego. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted July 15, 2018 What about Linus if he fits. Of course if he asked to be dropped, he probably won't. But if he was dropped he might. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
