LEIGH Lanham has had surgery today to repair a broken finger on his right hand.

Dawid Stachyra has had to withdraw from tonight's meeting at Lakeside after injuring his right wrist in his heat 4 crash at Foxhall last night. He will be travelling back to Poland for further treatment.

Jarek Hampel has suffered a reaction to a busy training and testing schedule after last nights meeting and has had to be withdrawn form this evenings meeting. It is believed to be a trapped nerve or muscle damage in his left shoulder and will also travel back to Poland for further treatment in a race to be fit for next weeks home clash against the Belle Vue Aces.

Kozza Smith has been made as comfortable as possible in Heath Road hospital with a broken shoulder blade and punctured lung, it is too early to speculate on his recovery time but it is believed to be between 6-8 weeks.

1.Rider Replacement
