That's literally just gone up!

BELLE VUE: Tom Brennan, Jonas Jeppesen, Peter Kildemand, Zach Cook, Dan Bewley, Tate Zischke, William Cairns.

LEICESTER: Ryan Douglas, Dan Thompson, Nick Morris, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson.

Lions stand a chance of not getting battered with the Aces being without sick note 👌

Imagine taking a newcomer to the meeting today .

"Wheres that Aussie bloke that nearly won the World Championship last year?"

"Oh, Brady Kurtz, naah he's not riding today, he's banned"

"Thats a shame, was looking forward to seeing him! Why's he banned, what did he do?"

"Errrr... he was ill last week"

The newcomer wouldn’t ask that question because he/she/they/them/it wouldn’t have a clue who Brady Kurtz was.

Brennan will do well to get back from Poland if  Bydgoscz match goes ahead...not due to start till 7pm uk!

Well Brennan is doing the track walk, so obviously not had any issues getting to NSS in time.  It's strange to think the last time I saw him was riding for Bydgoszcz v Gorzow.

Difficult to predict this meeting as I have no idea how Jeppesen will do.  He was appalling at Perry Barr when I saw him but others have said it was just Perry Barr where he struggled.  Also can't remember how Morris fares at NSS if indeed I have ever seen him here before.

Can't imagine Bewley being troubled but Kemp could be a trump card. 47-43 without any conviction.  Masters & Douglas always did better for Wolves on midday BHM's than they did on regular 7:30 starts.

I think if I was a newcomer and I was told he was banned because he was ill I would be more bemused that another Prem team let their number one guest instead. Imagine a footballer who felt ill and missed one match was then banned for the next 7 days and an opposition team loaned them their best player to cover.

They are saying on BVTV he is still not well and maybe wouldn’t of rode if he wasn’t banned

Fantastic insight in the pits, could do with him on BSN! Stream has been great, much better than constant repeats we got on TNT

Not just stoney but Greg Blair too have that type of banter that you hear in vans on way to meeting and not that forced corporate polished speak you get on TNT, sky etc

I've got to say what a massive improvement it is now the inter-race interviews and pit coverage is being shown on the big screen and piped through the pa system... credit where it's due 👍🏻

I saw that he didn’t ride in Poland recently too but Belle Vue on their website stated he isn’t riding due to being banned. Either way it is what it is I guess, and Brennan ironically now trying to knock out Leicester who he guested for last year and won the cup with, after riding for Ipswich and getting kocked out, confused? You will be 😂

Does that mean another ban, given he isn't fit enough to not ride today?:D
