Not sure what the total team average is currently but you can’t just add the two averages together and bring in a new duo up to the combined average of the two they’re replacing. It would have to be done individually, a replacement for Lawson up to and including his current GSA, and the same for Nicholls.    Emil doesn’t have a work visa anyway and there’s zero chance they could or would get a new one just for a few meetings. 

Masters guesting for Lawson

Poole couldn’t care less, they know they will finish Top 4.Lawson is becoming a liability now.IMO .Shame as he is a genuine top rider in Championship. 

Nicholls coming out for his re-run when clearly not fit seemed very odd.  Wasn't able to ride from the moment the tapes went up.  There isn't any time pressure on being seen to by the medics as far as I am aware.  Surely he should have been replaced? Can only assume he insisted on giving it a go, but surely he is experienced enough to know he wasn't going to be able to do it?  Gave up a guaranteed point for no reason.  Obviously gutted for him, just seemed an odd sequence of events.
