Edinburgh can't remove Max from their team till they have a replacement, even if they found one after a week, I assume Max would still have to sit out his 28 day ban.

Maybe the rules are to blame for this more than Edinburgh.

As for Berwick, I think 2 matches isn't enough for any rider to prove their worth, unless Bastien said he was struggling & wanted to be replaced, think Berwick should've given him longer in the team.

Did you see either of Bastian’s meetings, or see him walking about the town, or at the gym, or in the pits? 

The lad has one working leg for god sake, he should still be on crutches.

He did look like he was struggling walking at p+p and the first meeting but was walking absolutely fine at the last meeting. I watched the riders doing the track walk and he wasn’t even limping.

Because his leg is being held together by various braces on a daily basis.

This is the right decision, he clearly isn’t fit enough yet.

The problem could/should have been avoided by not signing him back in the first place until we knew for sure his fitness was not a concern, had we done that we’d be avoiding all of this carry on.

He was struggling on track though.

If Berwick have any ideas of doing anything this season Hagon needs to be moved on now.

Agree, I think we’re going to have 1 less home meeting this year as the Border Trophy wasn’t on the calendar. 
I’d be very surprised if we got 40pts at Redcar next Friday. 
 

Anyone else think the track is far too slick? Other than the first couple of bends, the racing is so boring.

Did Cook not say last week that he had asked for the track to be slicker? I thought they would have kept it with a bit dirt for home track advantage!

Think he said consistent, Jamie likes to dawdle along in the tractor, like most on here I fear another short season with plenty free Saturday nights
