Masters would probably pick up some sort of ban if he missed this evening having missed Saturday at Leicester but rode in Poland yesterday scoring 4 points.?

Met office says 34 degrees at 8pm in Wolverhampton, makes sense to use Aussies, they are used to it. Also only 1 degree lower than at 7pm. So delaying the start isn't going to make that much difference!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why? If you can pick any of top 4 riders? They don't have to pick him even if he is 100% fit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to Adams he may require an operation that would rule him out for 6 weeks so he's going to ride on and see how painful it is as he's trying to avoid the op for now. It's entirely possible his season could be over soon if he can't manage 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 854 Posted July 18, 2022 Would have thought Howarth rather than Holder. Surprised Belle Vue not using Wright, he scored 16 at Monmore earlier in the year. Wolves using Aussies? They do have three of them, can't imagine the heat would bother Becker being from California and from my casual viewing of scores seems to the the Wolf in the best form currently. Batchelors best performances for Sheffield last year were at Monmore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not at all, the TM can pick any rider from his top 4. If it was me I would never have picked Masters! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if Wolves aren't worried about Masters aggravating his injury, there's also a decision to make is a half fit Masters better than a fully fit Worrall for example?
