Could well be a few more weeks, but would be much sooner if he had it pinned. That's not normally recommended by doctors though in a younger person. He's a massive miss for the Witches...

Any replacement is likely scoring around 5 points less than Dan and thatâs being generous. Thatâs a 10 point swing in the overall score right there. Weâve currently lost the two most important riders at both ends of the team. Letâs hope theyâre back soon but more importantly, when theyâre ready and properly fit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanoXtra Posted Thursday at 07:34 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:34 AM Chris Louis suggesting its a matter of weeks and not months for both with an update coming end of this week / start of next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP78 Posted Thursday at 08:31 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:31 AM I can imagine JD will be desperate to get back to the GPs, as there are 3 in June and he'll probably be worried about staying in the series next year... It might be a stretch to wildcard him in for 2026. Will he try to come back for the Sheffield match at foxhall next thursday or is that too soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually winning a world title and having that on your CV, is more deserving of a wild card than your place of birth.  And before anyone pipes up with âgive Hans Nielsen a wild card thenâ  then you can get back in your box with your strawman argument. Doyle is still a top rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle is still a top rider. Doyle won't get a wildcard next year, he needs top 6 or a qualifier. Dudek and Madsen will be wild card potentials for next series. They wont drop Kai, Kvech or Lebedevs due to having home riders in countries the series travels to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a commercial venture/circus. Score 4pts from 4 rides and you still have a chance of getting into the final! as Kurtz nearly did and Kubera actually did after scoring 6 pts. Would it be too much logistically to have a one off world final like the old days and keep the GPs as they are. Be an interesting line up if everyone had to qualify. I suppose finding dates for qualifiers would be the main problem.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP78 Posted Thursday at 01:31 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 01:31 PM Just listened to a Radio Suffolk interview with Chris Louis from Tuesday morning.  He said that Thompson is likely to have scans end of next week to see how he is doing and Doyle expected back in 2-3 weeks.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
