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

More likely to be the one with the fuel can and matches

Head of nail please let me introduce you to Mr Hammer....

Yes they do - so it should be the one as listed in the Witches preview (subject to the normal late BS excuses) Home team declares first which allows away side to tactically declare team order accordingly (such as the switch of Brennan to 5) Changes subject to BSPL approval and opponent can refuse change in riding order if team changes are made

The lack of a press release from Lynn just 2 days ahead of a home meeting is truly pathetic A team (even if it ends up not being the one that races) has to have been declared so just go with it If there are any doubtfuls then say so - be honest, be transparent. That's what's fans deserve and should be able to expect!

100% agree

The middle bit is most pertinent imo Bewley and Kurtz have the talent and equipment to be more effective at Foxhall but why risk it for this one that is all but meaningless Maybe could've been enough to wrestle the bonus point into BV favour but zero impact on qualification Come play off time though that would be all that mattered- doesn't even need to be enough to win the away leg

Schroeckesque!

When the regulations are not implemented even handily it is everyone's problem.....

Just make up some bullsh!t and call it off....

No its not time for 1 league now - it was 5 years ago.....

No idea - does I make a difference? Perhaps whichever of Harrison or Scott is not named for Lyn at the time.....

You assume wrong! Scott and Harrison are being alternated in the official declared RS spot and if they were the one declared at the time of a NDL clash then the Prem would have priority A rider however cannot miss a NDL meeting to take a guest booking in thd Prem That is the reason Foord could not guest (nothing to do with the Worky situation) and why originally he was declared formally in place of JJ This was only reversed when it was stated it was not allowed to mix and match in the way Lynn are doing

That's the problem with the cryptic half truths and rumours because of the lack of clarity re the Workington situation I think Foord could guest due to his NL commitment but if declared in the 1-7 the Prem would then take priority Only the two tier implementation of the RS regs prevented this

If it was another team getting special treatment to manipulate the regulations then he would be talking about that team It's not his fault that it so often seems to be the Stars cheating/manipulating/lying* *delete as applicable

Better to be lucky than lose

Proved by the directors camera choice approx 2 seconds before impact on heat 15...

It was strange to see at one point a BSPL declaration with Foord replacing Jenkins officially as the RS only for an almost immediate reissue reverting to the original line up In all press releases Foord had only ever been stated as a guest More than a little puzzling

Did Birmingham ask him? Did the even want him back in if/when they could?

Perhaps Edwards doesn't want to.....
