Skodaman 192 Posted August 15, 2014 Why ever not? No-one is suggesting the squad has to be GB riders, or even that it must be a 'squad' - just riders that are already riding here would do, 'signed' as a regular guest - it would make the fans feel like he's almost part of the team (as The Return said post #7). The point that was being made, I think, is that with more British riders in the league, less meetings would be missed due to committments on the continent - if that makes sense.

greyhoundp 990 Posted August 16, 2014 Slightly off topic, but a valid reply to a point raised, There are all British riders in the NL, but due to the EL Draft and PL taking precedence we have lots of RR and guests in the NL this season, so just being British wont solve the problem, but having 2 race nights for EL, 2 different race nights for PL might go some way to solving it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good idea but a lot would depend on the stadium owners as the stadium would have to be available on those nights set out . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil The Ace 2,847 Posted August 17, 2014 Apparently the dmu have an agreement that the rider doesn't have to race 2 days before or a day after a international meeting. Now this sport is a joke. So they get away with schlein tomo. Will be interesting to see what happens in lakeside next match Ef`s now 3 Finished his fourth ride coming last Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
