The question was could his 3rd ride be heat 15 - being refused a switch in 13 was never an issue Personally I have no doubt Rob Lyon knew the answer and it was mo more than a well timed piece of gamesmanship from a wily old campaigner! The worrying part is the fact referee didn't seem to know such a basic regulation off pat! Rob's actions and use to make the most of the reserve across both legs made a significant contribution to the result  - particularly manipulating a Kvech win in heat 8 of the first leg........ Good luck to Lynn in the final 

One thing that confuses me, so Rob Lyon wanted to use Harrison in heat 15 for his 3rd ride, so why not just use him in heat 13 instead? It would be against the same 2 Ipswich riders? Why would using Harrison in 15 be any more beneficial than in 13? Either way allows Klindt in 12 & 14! Even if the argument was to not take a ride away from Lawson in heat 13, you could just give him heat 15 instead.

Doesn't that average actually come from as far back as 2019? He actually rode enough meetings in that last stint to achieve an updated figure undef the current regulations (6 meetings and no requirement for 3 home 3 away) If he allowed to return again on such a ridiculous low figure it would be a scandal

Thunderstorm will rectify that on the way up

If that is the case and he doesn’t perform very well when travelling I think he might be in the wrong sport! Either that or he will never become a complete rider. When you have GPs to add into the mix others just get on with it. I think he knows he let the club and the fans down by lack of social media last night and today! Thompson has been a shining light for us so often so it was hard to see him so poor last night, I know that Richie said he had an ear infection but all I hear every time we lose is excuses and I’m done with it. If we won (which would could of with a few more points from falls etc) we wouldn’t hear any excuses. The fact you fight all year to get to these matches with some significants and then just don’t turn up is why I went away frustrated. The uproar of emotion in the stadium when Kerr went hard on Thompson was actually probably just as much anger and frustration at our own teams performance and it finally came out of everyone!

Even Hawkins has said the ref did nothing wrong.
