The Comets make the trip to Leicester today for a double header, league and KOC meetings hopefully we can do some damage to the Cubs.

After best friends Ace and Ashton came together last night both of them may not be fit to take their respective places assuming it will result in R/R for both teams.

Here’s to an after of good speedway, C’mon the COMETS!

 

Give us a C!!

Assuming Sam McGurk pulled out after a fall in the first match, Workington should have moved r/r to cover him, would have meant Harrison eligible for an extra ride (providing they get to heat 14).

Not sure if they would have been allowed to.

I think they are not allowed to chance the riding order, buy can't see why they can't move the r/r around?

Have Leicester ever successfully completed a double header?

16 July 2022 v Edinburgh/Armadale

(Unless you count 4 Nov 22 v Poole and Mildy which was ... at King's Lynn)

I reckon about 75% of double headers don't last the full 30 heats

But at least the public are charged for the full 30 heats.

Sounds about right. In the NDL it seems that 4 hours is the minimum that promoters should allow for when you factor in crashes/stoppages/re-runs etc which are all too frequent at this level.

Although it was two heavy defeats for Workington , all the Comets riders put in plenty of effort on a night when it was a war of attrition with two meetings on the trot a depleted team and the hot weather .

Well done to Leicester they have some talented riders that could do well in the sport .
