I think Josh having already beaten Max earlier in the meeting could have won the last two heats and Brady or Jack or both easily capable of beating Nicholls in 13 or 15 or both.
Steve you knew as soon as there was talk of a curfew, Belle Vue fans would accuse us of manipulating it even though they had 4 heats to get in front after the delay.
We could possibly get Kasper Gomolski back , I think his average is slightly higher than Richie Worrall's but with a bit of jiggling could be fitted in .
Yes but both Worrall and Covatti were going pretty well and Worrall riding better than he was earlier in the season, so in my view r/r needs to yield at least 6 to compensate. NBJ on the other hand wasn't going well so anything over 2 would be an improvement on his likely score.If Becker scores 7-8 then that is comparable to what I would expect from Covatti..
Bit of a no brainer to have Becker I would think , may have already been booked to cover NBJ. Starke hasn't ridden well lately but last night holding off Berge was vital so he was definitely up for it but I think Etheridge is a better bet at the NSS.
And reported broken ribs for Covatti, so both out for quite a while, maybe the season I would think and I wish them both a speedy recovery , Had broken ribs a couple of times myself and it is very painful. They were both scoring pretty well too and will be a big loss to the team.
I can't imagine he has been released, he has only done 7 meetings we would have as much or more points to play with if he rode his 8th meeting and he has a meeting for his championship team at the weekend.
