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."

But what happens if a RS arrives at a meeting and is taken ill or gets injured while unloading the van ?

Genuine question for the Belle Vue fans - what are your thoughts on Kurtz shutting down on the last lap of heat 15 ?

My initial thought was that he had just spat his dummy out as he had his backside handed to him on a plate and didn't like it, but I have seen a suggestion that he did it to allow Cook to take the extra point.

If it was the latter, then is it just more evidence that the top riders are really just racing for pocket money over here ?

No doubt a few of um or even most if um are on a guarantee,  don't matter if they score 3 or 13.

Don’t think in that moment he saw Picko clearing off to join Jack he thought I’ll let Zach get another few quid. think it was a mix of frustration and accepting defeat

He’s not riding to his potential this year by far

No he isn't, his average for his meetings this season is well down on his rolling average.

They ask for a volunteer from the crowd?

You're welcome to check the Regs to see if there's anything that covers such an eventuality ...

Good luck with that. Finding someone in the crowd under 23 😅
