Excellent, Frank Smart can get a work permit. Someone get his signed up :D I look forward to someone offering Doug Scoble a contract too, clearly one of the the very best in the sport to finish 3rd in an Aussie state final :D

There is also a story going around that Motorcycle Australia (MA) have had to substantially cut funding to all Aussie Team competitions as well as to certain individuals.

 

This is directly due to a reduction in funding to MA by the Australian Sports Commission!! MA are seeking sponsors as an alternative funding source.

 

If I can find a decent authoratative link, I'll post it.

Were they funding with any significance the sport beforehand? Must admit I don't know,but I do remember talking to a few fathers when their sons were competing in Denmark for the Youth Gold Cup and it didn't seem they were getting much help.I think maybe Darcy Wards dad,i know I talked quite a bit to Arthur Sissis' father and Mick Poole I seem to remember told me straight that riders should get on and sort themselves out without looking to MA for support

Foreign riders can apply to compete in the Aussie title, but i can't find mention of Worrall on any of the websites. Maybe he is a late entry.
