Skipper Rob Ledwith is forced to sit on the sidelines a little longer as fitness trials have shown the recovery from his broken collar bone is not yet complete enough for him to return to action for the crunch match vs. Belle Vue Colts tonight at Central Park.
The Kent TouchTec Kings captain updates on his situation, "Unfortunately I’m not riding tonight .... the shoulders still lacking movement and is tender...but planning to have a trial this weekend with a view to coming back on Bank Holiday Monday against Mildenhall. Can’t wait to get back!"
Meanwhile it's getting machinery in order more so than an aching body for Jacob Clouting who had to withdraw mid-meeting from yesterday's 13 point defeat at Mildenhall - the Kent reserve is fit to ride and is working on getting his pretty well totalled bike back into working order for his home comeback this evening.
Belle Vue are at full strength in the main body of their side but replace reserve Ben Woodhull with former Kings rider - making a first racing appearance of the 2019 campaign - Sam Woods.
