Richie does need replacing but no idea who with. Don't really know why it's taking so long to replace him. Shouldn't take this long to replace an injured rider unless we have someone in mind and they can't fit it in with their schedule at the moment. R/r makes us weaker imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but probably not sure if it's the right fit, he's done well but it would mean Nico going to second string and maybe we could do better.

Still too high I would think he hasn't had many bad meetings since he has been back at Swindon. Is Richie definitely out for the season?

Is Richie definitely out for the season? I would think so his ankle was broken in 3 places, and an existing plate bent from previous break, so had surgery to repair/replace old plate plus new injuries required metalwork as well, would think with all of that it’s at least 6-8 weeks not weight bearing let alone getting on a speedway bike but I guess you never know with speedway riders!!!

He already has had a change of team and seems to only be going in one direction since last season. Hope he can get back to where he should be (but not on Thursday at Blunsdon though) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
