Woffinden is not interested in supporting either the league that taught him to ride, or his country. Only interest he has is money all the way. No loyalty whatsoever to anything to do with the UK. I really hope the BSPA only conider British riders who are riding in the Premier league when making their choices for the world pairs this season. CVS confirmed it at the talk in end of last season. But then the BSPA completely messed up the rules by stopping a British rider from riding here by saddling him with an average that made it impossible to fit him in yet allow some foreign riders to keep a completely outdated average. The same people of course stopping 2 British riders from riding in both leagues. Beyond bonkers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely if that was the case he would be riding here too 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't he say on the Claire Balding show that he wasn't riding here because of the poor standard of the PL or have I imagined it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was different, there is no reason why he couldn't have said that no club had offered him a team place, if that was the truth. It would have presented him in a more favourable light to the many fans who criticise him for not riding here. However, the purpose of my post was that I was interested in Stevebrum's opinion that it doesn't matter that he gave an entirely different reason on TV to that put forward by others on here.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted February 11, 2018 Yes its very strange that Woffinden, one who likes to use social media, hasn’t once mentioned that he wanted to come back. Or that he hasn’t been offered a berth anywhere. Perhaps thats because he has no intention of riding here. He would have been snapped up by one team had he really been available.
