Pirate Nick 1,801 Posted January 14, 2014 I believe the winners of each round will get £16,000, the overall winners of the series will receive an additional £18,000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk_martin 1,606 Posted January 14, 2014 Is there a bookmaker that is still offering odds on the Turbo Twins? This competition seems tailor made for Ward/Holder to clean up...be it in Australia or Torun colours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
severnsider 197 Posted January 14, 2014 As the report includes a GB team does this mean BSPA have changed attitude to competition as last year refused entries in the it and the SEC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The BSPA has issues with the FIM Europe Best Pairs competition. The BSPA has issues with the FIM Europe SEC competition, promoted by OneSport The BSPA will have issues with the OneSport promoted "World Best Pairs" competition - not only is the promoter of the events (OneSport) common but the BSPA and their "issues" are common too. Presumably any rider taking part in the World Best Pairs event, if missing from an EL or PL meeting can only be replaced by an NL guest, as the BSPA won't allow any "facilities" to cover their absence? Ryan Fisher (USA) Kevin Wolbert (Germany) Kalle Katajisto (Finland) and Jason Doyle (Aus) all in PL action on the March 28th date...

EDIT: And why should they get anything else than a NL rider as a replacement?? This world speedway best pairs is NOT a championship of ANY federation. It's a One Sport promoted series of pairs speedway to make money for One Sport. EDIT: typo edited Edited January 18, 2014 by f-s-p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
