Eastbourne v Isle of Wight (Ch) - 26.04.08

[schumi]

Davey Watt returns to Arlington as a replacement for Glen Phillips who is riding in a longtrack meeting.

Line-ups are supposed to be as follows, though I suspect James Brundle might not be there.

Eastbourne:

1..Lee Richardson
2..Lewis Bridger
3..Edward Kennett
4..Simon Gustafsson
5..Cameron Woodward
6..Rodney McDonald
7..James Brundle Brent Werner

IOW past and present:

1..Davey Watt
2..Cory Gathercole
3..Jason Bunyan
4..Tomas Suchanek
5..Krzysztof Stojanowski
6..Andrew Bargh
7..James Holder

Brent Werner replaces Brundle. I feel for Brundle this was the perfect meeting for him to get some track time in racing conditions, with no pressure on his shoulders.

Rodney McDonald won his place in the team from winning the 2nd half challenge. I believe the idea was to give a young rider the chance of racing in a senior meeting. Rodney is 33, which if he was British would probably still be classed as young, but he's not he's Australian.

Unsurprisingly, Eastbourne won this 57:37.
