Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 1, 2022 Surely we could just put Doyle and Riss in heat 8 anyway,, as I've read on other threads its about entertainment and getting punters in,, so why not just put the best 2 riders from each team in every race 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends on how the protected heat 8 works, there are two ideas in this thread alone lol . Again something that should be crystal clear is a British speedway shade of grey 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again something that should be crystal clear is a British speedway shade of grey As someone has said and i believe is that the no7/RS that is protected.Plus i am sure you are not allowed a tactical in that race. edit:just had a quick look at the regs. Taken from the 2022 SCB speedway regulations In all Premiership Team competitions the #7 is protected in heats 2 and 8 and no replacements are permitted unless injured and confirmed in writing by the MO 012.4.4 Tactical Substitute (TS) Is not applicable in a 2 legged tie a) is permitted on only one occasion in heat 5 – 14, excluding heat 8, when a team is 6 or more points in arrears Plus i didn't know that if the R/S attains a high enough average he would ride in the 1-5 and the then lowest average rider will ride at 7.

Nearly impossible to be any worse from the Peterborough meeting! That outside run wouldn’t have worked in the first meeting. Also thought the young lad was really impressive.

That outside run wouldn’t have worked in the first meeting. Also thought the young lad was really impressive. The track is always better when it's had a good watering,, you could see the difference in colour between the two meetings. Having mentioned water,,, I'm sure if they watered during a meeting,, the action would be even better,, but for some reason,, they don't water. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
