That’s crazy really that a team can have a higher rated Rising Star as a guest that they one they actually own! When every other rider has a guest covering him, it’s  just up to his average irrespective of the team’s total average. So it should be the  same for Rising Stars. 

Couldn't have put it any better myself! For example Newcastle wouldn't be allowed Craig Cook as a guest for an injured Ben Barker just because they're 4 odd points below the limit!

I didn’t even really see him doing it. Plus multiple riders were doing all evening think it was more Crump was annoyed at being made a bit average all night !

Not really crump was trying to point it out to the referee but he somehow didn't see it,strange you saw multiple riders doing it but missed auty when crumpy was pointing it out

No the rule book-says no artificial warming of tyres. Wonder how many team managers have pointed it out to there riders

For anyone that was at the meeting today were the four Plymouth riders who failed to beat an opponent as bad as their scores suggest or were there any signs of optimism?

Personally I thought they were as bad as their scores suggest, however others may disagree.

Cook and Ruml looked awful.

Goret struggled but he never gave up, He'll come good but may take a season to get going.

Bowtell didn't look great but have seen him do well in the past I'm sure he'll be fine.

Apart from the score, how did you enjoy your trip to your second favourite club.

The riders that didn't beat an opponent were very poor out of the gate,scunny were on it and we were well beaten, but I'm optimistic we will improve
