Happy Hunter 370 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) I hope Mikkel Michelsen Recovers from His Injury as quick as Possible and returns to action as soon as Possible As usual nothing on the Lion's web site about this. I hope that the management have learned their lesson from last season and get a replacement quickly rather than rely on RR, especially as three of his rides will have to be taken by the reserves.

Gemini 4,894 Posted March 23, 2015 Does Lewis Bridger fit? He might be free if the promotion provide him with a couple of bikes, a van and a map of how to get to Beaumont Park. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only 2 rides from the reserves isn't it? Walasek and Wozniak can take RR rides for Michelsen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Hunter 370 Posted March 23, 2015 Can't find any official averages (nothing on BSPA web site) so was just going on what happened on Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glennylion 89 Posted March 23, 2015 On RL this morning they said a guest to cover at lakeside. MM has said he hopes for 3 weeks. Maybe a bit optimistic but wouldn't miss too many. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barrow boy 119 Posted March 23, 2015 As usual nothing on the Lion's web site about this. I hope that the management have learned their lesson from last season and get a replacement quickly rather than rely on RR, especially as three of his rides will have to be taken by the reserves. In order to protect the reserves it was agreed last season that if a 1 to 5 rider was injured and unable to complete his 4 rides his remaining rides could be taken by other team members. I was informed that if a rider got injured in his second ride then his remaining 2 rides could be taken by any 2 riders with lower averages but if he was injured in his first ride then it could be one above and 2 below. On Friday Leicester thought they could use Walasek, Wozniak and Josh Auty but after a complaint from Coventry that Walasek was not eligible the referee disallowed this. What is the rule? Does anybody know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevethelion 192 Posted March 23, 2015 Does anyone know if Lions will be allowed a guest facility for Jason Doyle when he rides in the world pairs for Australia? He'll miss 2 meetings ( 11th April v Belle Vue & 9th May v Coventry). So it looks like we'll be without both Doyle & Michelsen for the B.V meeting, not a good start to the season.

Does anybody know? 17.9 An INJURED RIDER REPLACEMENT (IRR) Is a Facility that allows one certified injured Rider’s (#1-#5) remaining programmed rides (including a ride in which he was unable to re-start but was not disqualified - FN) to be taken by other Team Members (including any Guest Riders), providing the Team is not already using RR and subject to: 17.9.1 The injured Rider not having completed 3 Rides 17.9.2 Only one position per Team may be declared as IRR. 17.9.3 All Riders with an MA below the Injured Rider may take one IRR ride each.  ATB  Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Injured RR (i.e. need arrises during meeting) = riders with only same or below injured riders average can be used. normal RR (i.e. need known prior to meeting) = 1 rider above missing rider can be used, all other rides to be taken by same or lower average Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know the rule hasn't changed so would be a 6pt PL rider. However Ward will have returned to racing for the last 2 meetings so it will depend if they still use Doyle.

weatherwatcher 664 Posted March 25, 2015 This is just the start with Jason missing 2 meeting due to the Ausie pairs, how many more will he miss if they get through. Hope not to many or we will be back to where we where last year, struggling a the foot of the table again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
