Anyone know how they plan to bring Pickering back? Surely rules don't allow that

No idea but with how close Alex and Josh are you can be sure they will have thoroughly studied the rules before dropping him.

It's a big ask.

[Bojangles]

Even if you don't make the playoffs, it's surely a better side now - which is progress isn't it? Just watch Laguta and enjoy it if nothing else.

Surely if Pickering is injured, he will be allowed to come back into the team when he’s fit again.

This- I’ll be coming over just to see him ride if nothing else

Team would be over the limit so they can’t.

I was thinking exactly the same after reading the news on the KL website. It is a 2 for 2 change with Thomson at 4.47(I have him at 4.45) & Pickering at 5.92 so when Pickering is fit, the average will not fit him in. Plus, there is/was? a rule that you could not re-introduce in to your team once dropped.

[FishersGate]

Even if Lynn don't make the play offs I think you may see a proper competitive team now and that is a huge plus for the fans.

If it's for Thomsen. It hasn't been said it will be, just that he'll come back in.

Depends who he replaced.

Which makes you think he won't be back anytime soon. Though sure Peterborough would have a space for him!

I expect he won't be back anytime soon because he won't be fit anytime soon. Once he is he'll be straight back in. Jorgensen or Klindt most vulnerable I suspect.

Don’t think Josh will back for around a month.

The redeclaring rule is the one I was thinking of too. Although I can't find it in the rulebook after a quick scan

Personally I would've kept KK for his home scoring but after he was "ill" on Thursday last week but we'll enough to race in Poland on the Friday I wouldn't want him back.

Do you not think he knew he was out?

Still very unprofessional of him imo, he can have no complaints about being dropped due to his (away) form, so there'd be no reason for him to get the hump & not turn up for his last night!

[szkocjasid]

Pickering can't come back for Thomson as that would put them over the limit, but he could replace Jorgensen or Klindt. I guess both riders know they need to perform for the next month to avoid being dropped.

I see no reason why Lynn can't make the play-offs, they haven't lost at home yet, so if they can keep winning that's a start. Then try & pick up a bonus point or two along the way & who knows?

You're not meant to be able to bring back a rider that's been dropped though, that's what we're questioning

The rule book seems to state, (rule 010.3 in your rule books)

A rider taken out of a team through injury cannot be redeclared in that same team within 28 days. 
 

Of course his average would have to fit then etc.
