DC2 11,150 Posted July 15, 2018 David has to be replaced if he’s going to be out for more than a month. We can drop Jack Smith also only if we sacrifice half a point and redeclare at 42.5. That would leave about 7.5 and it’s only enough for two reserve standard riders, like Berge or M Riss and M B Andersen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt the pay is much good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReadingRacer2017 159 Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Id rather keep Bellego & Smith than redeclare with 2 reserve standard riders. R/R & Smith is a different story. You would need to remove 2 of the top 5 plus Smith to make any decent changes. Edited July 16, 2018 by ReadingRacer2017 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted July 16, 2018 No changes i will be happy with this side until the end of the season.If David is out for more than three weeks that is a different story then Rosco might have to have a change of plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect that Jack Smith was given an assurance of a season long place and only Bellego will be replaced due to his injury. Rosco will have to go with one of the CL Brits or scour Europe for the like of Milik, Mikkelsen or Hougard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are enough riders around on up to 6.10 if DB is to be replaced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but no one wants to ride for “hire ‘em and fire ‘em” Matt. Riders actively seek out the chance to work with a well run club like Swindon, and Rosco!

Crazy robin 2,963 Posted July 16, 2018 Speedway is all about timing as we found out last year & Somerset will clean up on Thursday with our current injury problems. Just shows how David has dropped his average since the start of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately due to the nature of the sport luck plays a major part in speedway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
