Grand Prix Hypothetical Question - Re Reserve Rides.

[a4poster 82]

As the title suggests this is a hypothetical question regarding the two track reserves.

In the rules it states that the reserve will alternate should they need to replace riders that are injured up to a maximum of five rides apiece.

Now in the unlikely scenario of one of the reserves becoming injured would the other reserve cover his rides but is still limited to five rides?

Thanks in advance.

Many thanks for the answers. 

Do any of the reserves points place them in the overall championship standings? Or are they just for the single meeting?

All points count in the Championship Standings, and all riders are listed according to their points score, with any ties being decided by their GP Ranking earned/allocate at the start of the season.

So in theory if the same rider was used as a track reserve (I know this doesn’t happen) for each round they could potentially become World Champion.

Anyone?

Well yes but track reserves are never world class riders- riders on the reserve list have a much better chance of doing it

Thanks, I realise it is never going to happen but just curious.
