Lynn boss Rob Lyon is hoping options emerge later this month to rebuild the top end of his team.
Stars have been hit by two hammer blows in the last fortnight with Nicolai Klindt ruled out for the remainder of the season with a serious neck injury, while Tobiasz Musielak this week confirmed he won’t be returning either.
Musielak’s decision is a controversial one as he is continuing to race in Poland, but he has told Lynn he does not want to put added strain on his undoubted injuries with more meetings in the UK.
What the club have found difficult to fathom is that the decision came days after he was directly quoted in a Speedway Star magazine feature stating how he was looking forward to returning.
Musielak had said: “I will come back when I am ready and fit. I signed a contract to race for a club, and I will do my job.
“I am buzzing to come back and race my bike around the UK. I will rock when I return, I promise!”
The massive problem for the Stars is the differing way in which the two rider absences are handled by the sport’s authorities.
In the case of Klindt, there is clearly no doubt that he is on the long-term injury list, and there is therefore no issue with Lynn booking guest riders on a match-by-match basis, or using the rider replacement facility for Klindt where other members of the team share his rides.
