Yeah, Ty didn't seem himself over the weekend at all. His body language at Armadale in particular was not ideal from the team captain. His non appearance in heat 13 which as yet is unexplained tended to show little regard for us travelling fans whom had spent time and money to make the journey to support the team. Hope it was just a one off because generally his attitude to his racing has been excellent. Like you say it may well be some race fatigue because with all the guest bookings as well as scheduled fixtures he has undoubtedly been a busy man . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know teams requiring guests and their fans want the best available but have to wonder if, for safeties sake, the number of guest bookings a rider can take should be limited? I seem to recall Edinburgh limited their riders taking bookings in the run up to the final weeks of the season after Frede Schott got injured at Glasgow while guesting for Swindon.

Probably at no5 so as he could take R/r ride,which he couldn't do if he was no1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are entitled to use two guests when their two top riders are injured but for some reason they are not doing so. If he was at 1 and assuming their 2nd highest rider was r/r at 5 he would have been eligible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Away fans who dont want the hassle of rain off procedures who wouldn’t be able to make the rerun, also I usually decide on the day of the meeting if I’m going to Armadale or not. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
