Diamonds85 701 Posted May 14, 2023 Sounds like even though Garrad is a bit race rusty, sound like he's still got something about him, could be a good option rather than persevering with Sam or if Connor's injury is bad? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Crusader 135 Posted May 14, 2023 Sam's can't seem to stay on his bike. Throws points away. Extremely frustrating to watch. Why do they keep persevering with him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure that we be a popular choice given he wiped Connor out. Certainly quick out the gate but wild/over riding. Finished the meeting in a sling so that diagnosis will need to be made first.

Old Crusader 135 Posted May 15, 2023 Any news on how Connor is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Come on the Skipper 75 Posted May 15, 2023 He seems to have come out of the crash reasonably okay. He has apparently been signed off for 9 days due to concussion protocols. There are some pictures on the Royals Facebook page showing the lead up to the crash, and also some of his bike, which appears to be a write off. He commented on Facebook. "I’m okay, going for checks today as lower back has tightened up." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Come on the Skipper 75 Posted May 15, 2023 A further update from the Royals Facebook, as part of their match report. The second staging of the race saw Royals reserve Connor King make a flying start and lead the race holding on despite the pressure that he was coming under from Jason Garrad. On the last bend of the last lap, Garrad made a dive up the inside, collecting the unsuspecting King which sent him flying into the fence. An eerie hush descended around The Old Gun Site and Connor was clearly in some discomfort as the medics attended to the stricken racer. King was taken off the track in the ambulance and made his own way to hospital for further checks. Speaking a few hours after the meeting Kent manager Jamie Willis gave the following update on Connor’s condition. “Connor is okay considering the horrible crash. Obviously, he is battered and bruised and will take a few days to start to feel normal again. Providing nothing else comes to light after the adrenaline wears off, he’ll be back in the side for our trip to Leicester”. . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave1075 56 Posted August 8, 2023 With the news that Jack Kingston is out for the rest of the season & Rhys Naylor not looking at being back soon, could Kent look at bringing in Kyle Bickley & a 3 point reserve. Out of interest how old is Sonny Springer & can he come in as that 3 pointer. I know that it’s quite a journey for Bickley but have bike will travel. The team could possibly look like this. 1. Kyle Bickley, 8.63 2. Tom Wooley, 6.47 3. Nathan Ablitt, 8.00 4. Connor King, 3.68 5. BenMorley, 8.32 6. Ashton Vale, 3.00 7. Sonny Springer, 3.00 TOTAL. 41.10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see how throwing money at Bickley is going to help that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
