Aces51 2,778 Posted May 9, 2015 A meeting can't be called off just because riders are missing. I think you'll find there is a relatively recent precedent for doing exactly that. Apparently, it cheats the fans but only if it affects the home team. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) I think you'll find there is a relatively recent precedent for doing exactly that. Apparently, it cheats the fans but only if it affects the home team.That rule is only in the book for South Coast teams although even they haven't been able to use it this year 😉 Michelsen's last score for Leicester was 0,0,0 Worrall scored 11 whilst Auty scored 4 when they met at Leicester a couple of weeks ago, so think guests could make them stronger Hans will be a miss for bees as Hans scored 15 whilst Morris scored 6 in the same meeting there a couple of weeks ago but it is what it is. I'm sure Morris will do well. Edited May 9, 2015 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) I wonder if Bjarne has got over his sickness bug that would have stopped him from riding at KL on Wednesday - if it hadn't been called blown off?? Edited May 9, 2015 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdmc82 2,878 Posted May 9, 2015 Danish championship has been rained off. Shame for both teams it hadn't been nearer or earlier as would have meant Hans & Mikkel racing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StephenMiller 75 Posted May 9, 2015 Any news on who the guests are for Leicester ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcts 252 Posted May 9, 2015 With the way Leicester have been riding, I would think using guests would give them more of a chance of winning than using their own teamEvery team in the country are using guests.....the riders are self employed contractors operating on a week to week basis hence they can be dispensed with if they are not performing as in the case of Jamrog who was dumped and kylmorkorpi was recruited to make a difference.....its not rocket science is it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully they will make some good team changes very soon Any news on the final guest or is it R/R? Edited May 9, 2015 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robert72 845 Posted May 9, 2015 they can be dispensed with if they are not performing as in the case of Jamrog who was dumped and kylmorkorpi was recruited to make a difference.....its not rocket science is it? Not completly true, if a team has paid a season loan deal it's not that easy and I wonder if this is why Pedersen is still at Leicester? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwatcher 664 Posted May 9, 2015 The weather looks like it will stay dry now and windy, the pressure has risen slowly all day, after hitting a low last night, so the rain that was predicted just blew away towards the North coast and over to Demark. It seems that the best bet these days is to scrap teams and just use 7 riders that you can get hold of for the nights racing, which is just what is happening now. You just can't call a team when you have half of them missing. Hope the Lions win, with this wind it will be a very chilly night at BP, it can be cold there even on the best of days when the wind blows from over the pits. Get your thermals out, you might need them tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
