  1. Even if he has he's deserved them. Nine times as many GP wins as Harris. 5th last year. Bronze in 2023.
  2. I think it works like this: Rules state that for an unauthorised absence the replacement is a no facility guest [ i.e. 75% guest]. That is the default position. What a club may then do is declare the rider to be withholding his services and only then do they become eligible for a 100% full fat guest, and as a consequence at that point the rider receives a ban.
  3. It has been common practice for years for teams to make that choice.
  4. Because when he has been unjustifiably missing Plymouth have not used a guest for him. Instead they have gone the "no facility" route which means a facility of a 75% guest. Me thinks this would be better understood if the terminology wasn't so batrubbish contradictory!
  5. Not often one looks at a line up and thinks 'Slovenia must be amongst the favourites'
  6. Is it not because Palovaara has yet to make his debut so MM comes in as a 75% guest?
  7. But if crowds are (say) twice/three times that much wouldn't it just lead the application being turned down on traffic grounds?
  8. 8 day rule, can't guest on same track twice in 8 days
  9. Spectator excitement levels have rocketed as we search for cover from rain
  10. As the captain of the Titanic said about the iceberg. [There was no drone at Cardiff in 2023 because it crashed in practice]
  11. If he doesn't I suspect Lynn's tactics will be academic as they'll loose by double digits.
  12. With the rest of the team up and down it is often not until the latter stages that you can judge which of the remaining riders should make way for Klindt's extra rides [obviously one is at the expense of the RS, but the others?]
  13. Piraterna living up to expectations. Is there any update on their fundraising drive or are they at death's door?
  14. No Beau Bailey, Australian, just turning 16, SGP3 medalist.Probably a better prospect than Cairns
  15. He should have accepted the booking, could have had 9 rides then [8 in practice because ht 9 might have been a bit tricky]
  16. Extra rides for Ingram and Perry is probably doing more for rider development than drafting in Sam Woods.
  17. Isn't it: guest or R/R for missing rider followed by ban for withholding services or 75% guest and no ban. - looks like Plymouth have gone for the latter.
  18. I thought of that but as the potential missed match is his debut wouldn't that be a 75% guest? [And therefore lower than Cook]
  19. And the winner of pedant of the day goes to ....
