How do you know McGurk and Marson weren’t asked? We certainly haven’t given up on this tie or the season.

Yet was fine to go ride motocross yesterday. Was also his birthday yesterday so maybe a long night.

Getting sick of dusty tracks, it’s heat 1 ffs

A lot share that opinion. He's no where near a top rider in the NDL and he'll only score tomorrow if mechanical gremlins come along for our riders.

Mark Parker actually rode for us (comets) last season against yous after the airport mess up. He was very far off the pace.

I'm sure Palovaara will get 14 rides over the time, but hopefully they'll be spread out & he won't get 4-on-the-trot!

While Mark did get a good score, he only actually beat fellow 3.00 riders. Now I'm not slagging him, that's his job as a home 3.00 rider, so well done to him, but the jump to Champ level is massive. So don't know if he'll gain anything from it. If they wanted to give someone from the Academy side a shot, what about McGurk or Marson, maybe not likely to score, but have a greater chance of beating someone. When I can think of literally dozens of stronger riders not being used, that's what makes me think the promotion have "given up on the tie"

3 rides in the first 6 hts then vp can have 7

If I'm wrong I'll congratulate him, but I can only see him scoring points against a non-finisher. It's not even like he's competing against 2.00 reserves, Workington have a very good reserve pairing. I don't know why they didn't offer the number 7 spot to Sam McGurk, Matt Marson or Tom Spencer? Even if the agreement was it was only temporary till the averages changed, it's give them a chance to impress any club that may be looking for a 2.00 rider at some point.

Hope is eternal................... Up the 'Bees'. 👍🙂

We’ve given up on the tie by being forced to redeclare without Max? 😂 I think we will be confident of progressing with our current 5 + Mark. He’s earned the opportunity by top scoring in the last academy match, even if it is too soon for him.

I'm pleased with the reserve choices. Always better to go with ability / who performed best in qualifiers etc. Nothing against Sam Hagon, but if he couldn't qualify for the British final, how can he expect to compete against GP riders. When the youngsters are good enough they'll get their chances, till then, that's what the SGP2 is for, the next batch of future stars.

He's got a chance against hook he usually has mechanical issues in most meetings, poor machinery, badly prepared.

It is indeed a tough ask for an inexperienced lad at this level, but he has been given the opportunity as he has come on a fair bit since last year. His mission should he choose to accept it ( and he has ) is to take 2 points from his 3 rides against the more experienced Jacob Hook or Vinnie Foord and it's job done ! Presumably Monarchs do appear to need a 2.00 in the #7 slot as there may be a certain number of points available when the new averages are out at the end of May. Has been stated elsewhere that there could be up to almost 10.00 including Oscar's departing 6.00. If that is the case maybe a further re-jig of the team strength is up for consideration. Or maybe not ?!!

Just seen Edinburgh have declared mark parker at reserve, a Cumbrian but imo not at championship level, so may have a impact for a comets victory over 2 legs

been dry for a couple of weeks now and forcast rain this weekend be some recovery if dan is fit to ride

It looks like I'm Bobbath again

Amazing that Ove is now second

Amazing that Ove is second on that list. BTW Although I am posting as STANBATH now , I am the old BOBBATH- I just couldn't figure out how to keep the old name when they asked me to re-register, it kept bouncing me out - put it down to age and the fact that I am a technopeasant. Anyway it looks like Michanek and Hedge make the top 18.

New dates Thursday 29th May Group C Opole start time 3.30pm UK time Wednesday 4th June Group C Lodz start time 4pm UK time

That’s too simple.Like I say riders dictate when they are available in GB.

Surely two points won’t be lost on rebuilding it’ll just be 2 points towards further riders we could sign.

Crikey. I hope Hook, Bewley, Tate and anyone else who’s been diving off bridges this week with him haven’t caught it as well

Important couple of fixtures for both clubs. Worky will have targetted this as a must win when the fixtures came out, not just because the Tigers await the winners a fixture that I look forward too but also because it will provide two extra fixtures in what is a thin calendar.

Think it's far too big a jump for Mark Parker, without meaning to sound harsh, using Parker sound like Monarchs have given up on the tie.
