Raise the question as I am sure Matt would like to have both Holders back for 2019 if he can get them. I see Chris is doing badly in the SGP and almost certain he won't get into top 8 qualifiers for 2019 in 4 remaining rounds, currently 12 out of 15 (excl wildcards). Pedersen 10th and after last night thing both him and Doyle 11th who has had injuries will likely get WC as maybe Vaculik who has been injured and didnt get a real chance from his WC for 2018. A real conundrum for Monster who are main sponsors and also sponsor Holder. Based on form last season and this he doesnt deserve arguably to be in as there are maybe more deserving riders coming through. But Speedway being what it is will his mate Monster Joe protect his Sponsorship interests and wrangle him in again. Arguably would be unfair to some of the better youngsters coming through and other younger established riders who are in front on merit alone with Holder continually going backwards in POL and Swe. If he doesn't get in then assume he will have to ride in Aussie Champ to have chance to qualify and would no GP mean he would be more desperate to ride in UK League 2019 IF he is given the all clear which surely there must be a decision on well before the 2019 start. For sure he is a shadow of what he has been even if he does still look all action on the bike. depends on the home office sorting his passport out, splittin with his partner messed up his work permit/ visa , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattfordfan 286 Posted August 25, 2018 I think Chris is going to retire at the end of the season. If he doesn't I wouldn't want him back tbh. He's nothing like the rider he once was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has gone through a very tough two seasons which would have devistated most people in normal jobs. There is no ending in sight and it has wrecked his career and personal life. No wonder he is where he is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But on this forum you have to put everything down word for word otherwise the sensitive ones get upset. One injury too many and on top of that Chris has the Darcy business in the back of his mind.
