Badge Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago Well Paul Hurry on Radio Suffolk yesterday said guest for Nicholls is Lewy Kerr for this meeting plus Olly Allen had arranged for Team GB riders to meet in Poland on Thursday evening for team bonding meal ahead of practice on Friday for WTC. Paul and Richard stated that as the Aussie riders would be riding in Gb on Thursday night and flying out Friday morning that is what Tom would be doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think the lead up week to the World Cup Final would be blank wouldn't you? Strange some leagues still run... Maybe not that important?... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that, Redcar ride at home against Glasgow on Friday then away to Workington on Saturday meaning guests/RR for Charles Wright and Leon Flint.

Would be different if it was still a full week event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be different if it was still a full week event. GB, Sweden and Denmark ran full programmes, with the obvious risk of injuries... I would have thought that the organisers would have had the riders out in Poland for the week doing publicity for the meeting, and being in a "team camp" together... Adding a bit of "gravitas" to the event, particularly as it now isn't every season.. It looks just like another run of the mill meeting when nothing is done differently...

Isn't Kerr ineligible under the '8 day ' rule? a rider may ride as a guest (in an official meeting) at a track only once in an 8 day period (within that league) excluding Play Offs, unless he is replacing the home teams #1 or is ONLY declared in a British Development League Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted 21 minutes ago Report Share Posted 21 minutes ago Been saying it for weeks, first bit of rain comes and you will see rain offs left, right and centre because everyone has got used to riding on dustbowls and anything else, they will not want to know.
