Strange that he was actually on the start list last night which went up after the training session - BSJA press release says he's had 3 days of veterinary treatment.
Darn it. And Rodrigo Pessoa is out too! Even though he would have been massive competition for our Brits (well he is amazing!), I do love Baloubet De Roet.....!!
Why do you think we are one rider down? If you read the details in the link, other threads or looked at the results on the WEG website, you would see that Nick Skelton and Russel replaced them.
