Clubs need to play hard ball with riders but there is an opportunity for the UK to leapfrog over Sweden to become the second most attractive league for riders. IF we get it right and thats a BIG IF..

No chance of that happening unless the riders live in the UK- the riders who do Poland and Sweden use their Polish bikes, mechanics and vans for both(several ferry routes available) Whereas choosing UK means getting vans, mechanics etc etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Germany too is ideal for riders of Polish and Scandinavian clubs.. The more obstacles that may get put in the way though, the more it surely makes sense to be a bit more "self sufficient"? And plan for a very heavy "British" majority in most teams, doubling, and even trebling up if needs be to make up the teams. It would give the riders plenty of meetings and it cannot be beyond capability surely to plan in a fixture list with no clashes where riders need to be in two places at once.. Have 6 man teams in all leagues.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,686 Posted December 19, 2020 Money in Sweden might not be much of a issue anyway, if riders are getting very good wages in Poland they might be content with a once a week runout in Sweden on nice wide tracks rather than a longer journey to the UK for more fixtures and more hassle even if it’s for a bit more points money.

Skidder1 7,617 Posted January 13, 2021 So Mark Lemon saying today that BV will have to make at least 2 changes if the team set-up is still 1-7. Lidsey and Kildemand need replacing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GWC 495 Posted January 13, 2021 Maybe it’s necessary for 2021 at least, to go with a combined league and ditch averages so as to give employment to majority of riders. I am assuming not all tracks will be able to operate in the half vaccinated half not U.K. come the spring anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
