Same applies to all meetings really and not just the TV ones Unfortunately in recent years option 3 has been most popular , closely followed by option 2 with option 1 a distant back marker

Those calling for one big league will surely be turning out in their droves as the 6 heat 2nd half is exactly what half a meeting in that type of set up would be if 7 man teams were to be retained........

Yes when it is the RS position

Then perhaps don't ask/listen to the riders when it comes to track prep in these circumstances....

100% agree Perhaps another example of a poorly written regulation as I would presume that it was meant to cover teams eliminated in prior rounds but it doesn't state that After all the plan was for the 2 semis to gave each leg on the same nights which would've prevented this situation I believe the play offs is different and the regulation is written to ensure a rider only turns out for 1 team at any point in the 'mini series'

That's a very good point Bash I'm very disappointed in myself for letting that one slip past me!

If he had turned earlier surely all that is happening is that Kerr is wiping him out! Could Kerr have pulled out of that move he had committed to?

A point worth making about heat 14 last night though is that the reason there was no contact is purely down to self preservation from Dan T Should you have to take a hit from an incoming missile in order to benefit from exclusion decision? Certainly being in one piece is far more important than the result.......

That sums up perfectly the prevailing thought process in Speedway at present - how can we manipulate/cheat to get an advantage....

I understand the reasoning was that the guest regulation states the rider must have previously achieved an official CMA and that because that was the case despite Lamberts average being considered assessed he was allowed to guest!! Until there is no possibility of a different answer depending on who is asking and when the sham will continue....

One thing would be guaranteed IF it was Chris Louis involved and that is it would be done correctly.....

No apology required - I wasn't there either!

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

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

I think most if not all of the top guys will have significant guarantees
