Come on.

You know they can't change a rider in Heat 15 due to injury.

He must have a medical assessment & be withdrawn before that happens.

You can, Masters replaced Castanga at Berwick in Heat 15 in the same circumstances.

Castagna must of been assessed as unable to ride.

Even "Shads" waiting to hear what is going  on.

Don’t know why they didn’t call it off after the heavy shower as most people around me ( and myself) said  it was going to be abandoned. Unless it was to give the juniors a chance after waiting patiently I and others couldn’t understand why they wanted to run heat 15 as Redcar had the 3 points and it was only Edinburgh who should lose out if they conceded a 4-2 or a 5-1.. How would Redcar fans of felt if Lewis Kerr or Erik Riss been injured in the re run?

The track had been watered more at the start than after the shower why couldnt just get on with it!

Track was very deep on the outside & slick on the inside but with the track record being broke twice today how can the track men be criticised

So if a rider damages his machinery but remains fit is he 'unable to take part'?

I could argue it either way, it seems totally open to being interpreted both ways.

Aren't most Speedway regulations?

Thanks to young Kyle Bickley. Didn’t let us down.

A lot of pressure on our 3 Aussies, especially away from home with Sarj being out for a length of Tim.e

Reaching Top 6 going to be a challenge with Lasse and Paco so poor yesterday.

That’s Speedway!!
To be fair Castanaga was injured in the Berwick match.

Thing to remember is that the team has selected what they deem to be the best two riders, so any changes are effectively weakening them- therefore it isn't an option to choose to give them an advantage. It is to ensure the team (and the public) are not being penalised

Enjoyed my trip to Redcar as always

If you want any shale back, it was all over my kitchen floor, bathroom floor and bedroom floor and is now in my hoover. I’ve been clouded in dust at Redcar many a time but never hit by so much shale. I know we should’ve moved but old habits die hard and it’s like the good old days

Many thanks to Kyle Bickley for stepping in and having a right go

Speedy recovery to James (Serj.) You are / will be missed but all the best mate

Totally agree with you, any rider who comes in to replace an injured rider, could have been picked in the first place, so no advantage gained.

Can't see Monarchs having much of a chance of making the top 6 tbh. Once Sarjeant goes into the top 5, whilst using r/r Fredriksen & Hook would need to take 11 rides between them!

Sometimes if a meeting is already won & the away team can not get a losing point, you can put 2 of your lesser riders in to gain heat 15 experience.
