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.

Admittedly i haven't read the reports in full, but Bellego is scaphoid # isnt it ?  Where has the 12 weeks come from ?

If it’s a broken scaphoid, 12 weeks is the norm for recovery.

It's not 3 months for a scaphoid as a rule.

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.

That is simply wrong.  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.

If Bellego's out does that promote Bomber in the GP Challenge?

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.

Could Swindon make two changes now because of David's injury??? annoying really because David was in good form at Belle Vue.

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.

Michelson could he be an option Steve ? maybe his old average at Eastbourne is to high for me Auty and another change for Jack might be the way.

Hougard, Auty, Barker, Garrity, Kennett are the obvious replacements for David Bellego.

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.

Just spoke to my daughter in law who is a NHS physiotherapist, and she confirmed normal recovery time is around twelve weeks...
