I think the track drying has been a problem in the past, I don't think the material binds together as well if its not got the correct moisture levels. I have always wondered why they don't do Cardiff in September or October, there would be no drying issues and probably less pressure on hotel prices in the area(although they would still be expensive).
I agree they need to get 2min at 7.28 and smash this through, no drawn out grading. Rain is going to hit at 9, 22 heats in 1.5hours is doable if they get on with it.
I guess that is season over for Kennedy with a fractured hip, do Scunny go with guests or get a rider in. I think Claus Vissing is going to be released from Birmingham soon when his 28day ban is up, he would fit.
The rule book says 'In these circumstances a rider cannot return to ride for any club within 28 days, effective from the date of notification to the SCB........
has been approved in a teams declared 1-7 at the start of the season.'
Tero has been out for longer than 28 days to can be reintroduced.
I would go with Lambet and Woffinden but Bewley's in impressive form.
I guess the other teams will be....
Poland, Zmarzlik, Janowski
Denmark, Leon, Michelsen(could use Thomsen but I wouldn't)
Aussie, Doyle, Fricke
Sweden, Lindgren, Berntzon
