Losing Antti for the KOC meeting is a big blow to the chances of overturning the 13 point deficit. It's a tricky one because I also believe we may need a guest for Celina who could be riding in a European Qualifier of some sort. If we could get a decent guest such as Ashton Boughen for Celina then it is a hard call between r/r at 2 or guest such as Dan T/James Pearson.

just seen that, unfortunate as not Plymouths usual race night. 6 teams in action that night cuts options right down. probably only really  Paul Starke for Celina and James Pearson for Antti if we don't use r/r.

You'll need all the riders you've got, seen as ace and complin will be out, just a shame antti is out, as I think the tiggers could be beaten :o

I know Ace is out for Wednesday, didn't realise he's out for Friday too. That leaves us with very few options. I think it might just be Freddy Hodder from Championship teams.

But yes, we are very beatable, not that Oxford managed it, somehow! Claus should wipe the floor with our 3/4 and no reason to believe Tate will struggle. I think Claus will be the difference.

I think the only real choice was him looking at who's available on Saturday.for the Friday if possible I'd go for plymouths dan Thompson.hes on fire right now.after that it would be berwicks Hume.

Stick my neck out a bit here

Celina is only 2nd track reserve for Saturday. I'd say she has no chance of qualifying in that field even if a couple of riders drop out at short notice. At this stage in her career I would have thought she would give Worky priority. Sure she could have said she doesn't want to ride in the meeting to the German authorities. Think Huckenbeck told them he doesn't want to do any FIM Europe meetings

Get your point would love Celina to put the vomets 1st  but I think the Germans will want here at the meeting from a PR point

Also, if she drops out I think she'll get a ban since FIM meetings take priority.

Think guest is a good option.IMO

not knocking Celina though she is giving it a good go over hear.

A good point. In fact thinking about it, i could believe that the FIM want her at the meeting. Trying to give female riders a boost

Yes i know. I was more thinking of putting Workington as top priotiry from the start, not dropping out. As i stated, similar to Huckenbeck, who before the season started told the Germans not to consider him for these meetings
