Don’t think both Jason and Dan will be out to long. 3-4 weeks for both I suggest 

That will obviously depend upon the extent of the dislocation and how much the other muscle/tissue is damaged.  My total hip replacement was about 8 weeks, 10 weeks before I could go back to normal with sport etc. so it will be much quicker than that, as you say.

Don’t shoot the messenger, but this in Poland today:

However, everything indicates that Jason Doyle will return to competition sooner than expected. On Thursday evening on the X service, Eurosport commentator Michał Korościel reported that it is almost certain that the Australian will start in the upcoming round of the Speedway Grand Prix. It will take place on May 31 on the track in Prague. It will be exactly two weeks since Doyle's fall in Warsaw, which is full of admiration.

Going by the averages on the British speedway website, Emil will be number 1 in June.

Wonder how that will affect guests, rr etc.

Dan seems to be above Brady also for Belle Vue (possibly match to change that).

No change as to who can take a ride but does give flexibility as to where RR is used

Incorrect. June averages now published. Jason 9.10, Emil 9.07.

O fansmust be hoping for an early return of Doyle. Their management seem keen to use R/R as per last season which was not a success. 

Old Doyle really is injury prone in his later speedway career. Always forceful, he just isn’t quite the rider he once was and sadly seems to come off worse in these racing incidents. 

It would be sad to see Ippo denied the p.off championship a second year due to injuries to Doyle and others.

Actually, they didn't have much choice last Thursday having six of the seven clubs in action. They could face the same challenge on 2nd and 5th June v King's Lynn unless Jason is back by then.

Shame Jaimon is not available again. Hawkins & Louis know a thing or two about team selection and only 8 away meetings ago  made another good call when selecting him at number one where he put in a top scoring performance.

Jaimon is even better currently and when looking at the opposition only three riders (all number ones) have a higher away average.

I’m sure the shrewd witches management will be monitoring his availability again.

Hopefully Częstochowa aren’t putting the pressure on Doyle to ride and it’s his decision, we’ve seen the Polish teams force unfit riders to ride before.  Last thing Doyle of Ipswich need is a 60% fit  Doyle riding having another off and being out for a lengthy period

Pressure from Częstochowa I’m sure which is seeing him return in a few minutes to ride tonight. I’m sure another week or so would have done him good.

As long as he doesn’t come out with any longer term injuries by coming back to soon, obviously the amount of money he can earn per point I’m sure is luring him back as well.
