Can't be Gilkesy- riders MA has to be the same or lower than the rider their guesting for- Gilkes is on 3.40, Killeen is 3.00.

Average of rising star not included in team building limit so would be allowed to replace him in a full redeclaration but ineligible to guest

Home team riders (1-5) can have a guest with a 5% higher average even though they would be ineligible to replace in a redclatation

Gotta love speedway rules!!

Comfortable for Sheffield with no Bewley

Kurtz needs to step it up away from home or Belle Vue will again be losing many away matches

14 from their three heat leaders....:o

Not going to win many matches with that...

Is this a wind up lol?

Are you happy with 8 from 6 rides from your number one and world number 2?

You have lost Bewley which is huge.

At home you can almost cover him with Lidsey and maybe Fricke guesting though they obviously can’t replace Dan

If you aren’t winning big at home without Bewley then there is pressure to step up away from home …..especially from Kurtz he needs to go to the other tracks have 5 rides and get 12 or 13 

If he can and Zach Cook and Tate keep performing the way are then you can get bonus points … which you didn’t get tonight because Sedgeman and Brady didn’t do there jobs … 1 point from Sedgeman and 4 from Brady when he run 3 last places would have seen you get the bonus point 

Of course without Dan it will always be tough so yes 8 from 6 from Brady is not good enough

Remarkable that we took the bonus to a last heat decider given the cards we’ve been dealt. Whilst the 3 & 5 positions were never going to match the 19 points we got there last time, only 6 points didn’t help the cause. Having a number 1 (world number 2) averaging 5 from his 8 rides is unacceptable. I didn’t see either meeting yesterday as whilst the need for top stars is berated on here, the loss of Dan, who is worth the admission alone in my eyes has dampened my desire to attend. I’m sure it will pass by the time The Aces next take to the track v Leicester.

Jack Holder certainly made up for his poor showing in the away leg he was flying. Heat 15 Kurtz made a great move out of bend 2 but Jack and Picko were just too fast great cutbacks to pass him.
 

Kye Thomsen looks a top rider he’s one to watch was a great guest booking for BV, Sedgmen on the other hand looked woeful Freddy Hodder would have beaten him second half of meeting if they lined up. 

fair play to track staff after 2 heats recognised the track wasn’t right the extra water helped massively

Good win to end up with the bonus point last night after a poor performance in the earlier fixture (exception of Chris and Josh).  Jack, Leon and Jye definitely stepped up when needed.  Still a worry re Rowe, shows no commitment to anything other than inside third of the track which is fine in ht1 but rest of the meeting he just gets dropped for pace.  Not sure if he just won’t listen to advice from Steady or it’s mind set thing, as to be fair to Freddie Hodder last night he soaked up what was being told tomorrow him by manager and team mates and was out there riding all lines on track and keeping those with more top league experience honest

Regs: 011.4 Facilities

"If riding at #7 a guest from the Rising Star list must be used, their MA must be lower or equivalent to the missing rider."

By the same token of you saying J.Holder only got 6 last time at Belle Vue, Kurtz's scores at Sheffield last season were 9+1 from 5 (with a last in his final ride) and 4 from 5 (with three blobs).

Think Fricke's average is too high to replace Dan anyway,even with the enhanced 5% for a home meeting.For the next month anyway.
