hyderd 1,216 Posted October 29, 2019 typical negative comments from certain posters, a 5 year deal has to be better for the sport than no deal (no Brexit puns please). Get the product right,(tracks prepared for good racing) hopefully viewers increase = more sponsorship = more money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they can afford Doyle, Fricke, Thorsell, Lambert, Bjerre, Iversen, Musielak etc? Of course they can afford him, provided they think he’s worth it and will be committed and they build the rest of their team accordingly. If clubs don’t have the ambition to sign riders like Bech we might as well scrap the PL and just have the CL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riders who were never world class to begin with and are now on a downward spiral and wish to use the UK to top up the banks as the big boys don’t want them anymore ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s 25 and a perfectly decent rider. Why would we not be happy to have him when we have Klindt, Busk Jacobsen, Bellego, Pieszczek, Bjerre, Covatti and Jorgensen. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinny 2,536 Posted October 29, 2019 He is well past his best and clearly peaked way too soon. he would cost a lot more money than any of them named and in all honestly those riders have been loyal to UK speedway since they arrived. Bech has had a few spells and quit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
