Australia will struggle to find a decent under 21 rider, this is why they and us should have promoted more U21 test matches. with others in Europe to give the youngsters more International experience.

As I said earlier, I can't think of anyone based in Britain who could be the Aussie's 3rd rider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is very unusual, there is normally a conveyor belt of them coming to and riding in UK, is this to do with new visa rules etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WalterPlinge 657 Posted March 4, 2018 8 minutes ago, A ORLOV said: According to his fb page born Nov 1993 so 24 Here's my theory then.... Some time ago, a young boy riding bikes set up a facebook account. To have a facebook account you have to be 13 (or is it 16 in some places). So the kid used a fake date of birth to make his account appear legal. Years later, and now aged somewhere between 18 and 21 , he's eligible to ride in U-21 events and sign for a British Club. Someone at the BSPA offices (instead of checking his passport for DOB as required) just logs on to facebook and picks up the fake DOB used all those years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
