I think this rule was brought in to stop riders and/or team managers pulling a fast one when said rider was due to ride at a track where he was rubbish - By putting in a 7 day ban it effectively means the rider will miss out on other meetings - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bjarne only got 6 last time at Ipswich, Riss got 8 for KL. Palin scored 0 so Flint cannot do any worse and we have Hans, Scott, Bomber and MPT to take Ulrich's rides.

stevehone 3,425 Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Flint is a good call, decent form right now probably have to wait for a rider to finish commitments in Poland for the new signing Edited August 31, 2021 by stevehone 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is Bjarne we are talking about he has never taken the pee when it comes to riders skipping meetings!! It is still ridiculous. Bit like when schools suspend you for skipping classes. If the cause is riders picking to miss meetings then they aren't gonna be that bothered. Will hurt club more tbh esp if it is a must win meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The deadline was the 28th. Any changes would have to be part of the declared side for Thursday If they are not declared for this week then they can't be at all this season (unless of course the regulations are simply ignored - again) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the contrary it has been known for clubs to tell a rider to be sick when approaching a must win match if said rider was rubbish at that track - Try looking at this situation objectively and without your Poole hat on - The management have to treat all riders the same - They cannot be seen to be favouring riders - For what it is worth I do not think Bjarne Pedersen has acted inappropriately - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
