So can't see Holder being able to ride in the GP unless he sorts out the 'issues' in the next few weeks .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOT sure that working in GB (ie racing for and being paid by Poole) is the same as participating in a World Championship event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was under the impression that visa/work permit applications need to be supported/ sponsored usually but not always by the rider's employer ie in most instances, his club?! For the SGPs it would be BSI For the Speedway of Nations it would be either the FIM or the rider's home association. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foreverblue 6,096 Posted June 8, 2018 With Vaculik soon to return from injury maybe an option for Poole or if he returns to Leicester we could have Kenny Bjerre possibly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see him coming back to the UK,not this season anyway.But you never know. Plus assuming Klindt comes back on his average from last season,you would only be able to fit one of those two Vaculik/Bjerre in at the expense of Kurtz.

I was thinking more at the expense of Josh G and get a lower average reserve to replace Szczapaniek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NB. Major trackwork being done at Poole today. This is a photo taken from one of the Facebook groups of some hefty equipment.
