I said this when Jack Holder had a family emergency and was criticised for it when I said he should get a ban (Craig Cook was serving a ban at the time).

Others said the same thing in that you could be ill and say there is a family emergency.

Don’t really see the point of a ban in genuine case.The Teams can get guest so that negates the point.

Think Palovaara got injured in Sweden tonight.

He didn’t ride was just named in the side and rides taken by the reserves, he’s still unwell.

Strange, they said he was involved in a crash on Premier sports, although I hope not

They did say he was injured tonight!

ps

Looking at heat details it did say he never started his 1st race and never rode.So you could be correct

He wasn’t named in the original side, one of the riders who were was injured last night so they just named him today to have 7 so to speak so his rides could be taken by others.

Reminds of Rempala M 2010. Last time he was at Ashfield he was chasing down Harris lol - scarily good.

I think the rule was brought in to stop riders feeling "ill" every time they were due at Exeter, then making a quick recovery for their next match. A 7 day suspension stops this happening.

But it also means riders who are genuinely ill, having to miss more meetings than necessary, which means more guests (when they should be trying to limit them).

Could also mean a rider races when not well to avoid a suspension, potentially causing an accident if he's not strong enough to control the bike.

I would get rid of the rule, maybe of it happens multiple times in a season, can look into it, but anyone can be sick one day & off work, but back the next. Why can't Speedway riders?

Better make a comment on the match. Glasgow to win on aggregate.

I think 7 days is too harsh especially for a first offence, maybe a 1 match ban or 3 day ban and then increase for each illness in the season just to stop any abuse. I think earlier in the season Howarth rode unwell to avoid the ban and if I remember right did end up injured.
