Just wondering why Declan Kennedy and Luke Harrison were selected for Scunthorpe in heat 15? No disrespect to both riders but on the night their scores weren't what you would normally expect and other riders scored more. clearly to give two riders extra racing laps who needed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the promotion wanted to save some money on a pointless race. Either way they short changed the paying public who look forward to seeing the best pair of riders from both teams. Luckily Kennedy put up a brave fight v Lawson who took 3 laps to secure the 5-1. Some great racing last night. A shame the crowds are small here. Great race track. Another stupid comment why risk your best riders in a meaningless race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of promoters would rather have cheaper riders in heat 15 if the result is not in doubt. Nominations are at Team Managers discretion so you do not have to use best riders.

I just wanted to know if anything was officially announced e.g. bike problems, aggravated an injury, heat exhaustion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No if the meeting is won and bonus point is won them you don’t put your best riders in heat 15 The other week against Belle Vue we used Danny King and was so good seeing him beat Kurtz and Bewley Let’s hope you aren’t way ahead in a meeting and still use Lawson and then he gets injured in a race he doesn’t need to be in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
