Red & Blue are 1&3, White & Yellow are 2&4, but each pair can decide in each race who will take their respective positions (as per published amendment).

lisa-colette 6,028 Posted May 22, 2022 On the Peterborough press release it says that neither of their RS are available. I know Dan Gilkes is injured, but how come Jordan Palin can't do it? As he was riding yesterday, unless he picked up an injury there? They have got Max Clegg as the RS for Monday instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly not worth him travelling back from Europe for one ride to then head to Poland again for Tuesday's meeting 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,254 Posted May 22, 2022 It would appear that Jordan Jenkins is the other RS rider not available as it seems hes replaced the injured Dan Gilkes as Peterborough #8 but hes now injured as well Although theres no press release been made to this effect it seems , 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suspect few will regard it as a flagship event. Rather another example of failing to provide value for money re season tickets. Even trying to stress their benign benevolence in that they have bot increased prices despite more races than normal 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normal Premiership admission prices apply, with season tickets not valid for this event ..." They've tried to make it trendy with the use of the Rising Star or #8 - a token gesture - and the semi-final and Final, and of course the GP-style points scoring for the aggregate totals over the six legs.

Any sponsorship, any prize money? If they were really serious about making this competition something you "must attend" then the third rider (injury cover), would be another one of the top five in the team... Instead we have the RIsing Stars doing the third rider role... And one is a guest just to take away any credibility the new competition may have had.... They just can't help themselves can they? 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
