He's riding in the BSB supersport 300 class this year..

So which is it?

He has another year in school ??? Or

he is coming with his dad to race also???

Must admit I’ve just read his SS interview and it’s not clear........

’Seth is in his final year at high school and combining study with a blossoming career racing road bikes.’

So he is either staying in Oz studying and racing OR is coming to the UK to study and race.

looks the former to me. 

Got a better source?

Correct.   And let's be honest, it is Seth being in Europe that's the reason for Jason coming back.   We have to thank Ipswich for making this financially viable for him

MIKE: Are you bringing the family over this summer?

JASON: My son Seth has one more year to do at school and my wife Melody will hopefully come over five or six times during the season.

So still not clear if Seth is staying in Oz or not then! Doesn’t say where he is doing his final year in school!

You have absolutely no idea this is the case at all.

What diffence does it really make? Either way He isn't going to come back and not put 100% in. 

It might actually be easier for him if his son is over. 

One thing is for sure he'll be as committed and probably more so than some of today's star riders who are chasing Polish money and GP points.

It does make a difference and yes some are saying exactly that. Some are trying to cheapen the signing by saying he actually won’t be giving 100% and the only reason he’s back is to earn a little money to keep him and his son over here for the year to pursue his son’s racing career. 
 

You’ve got the like of Crescent Girl above who is telling us all exactly what’s in Jason Crumps mind and giving us the real reason he’s here, despite the man himself saying it’s a racing decision.

Seth schools at Gold Coast Australia. He’s not going to school and be based in the UK alone at his age the last few years whilst his entire family remain based in Australia.

As the old Abba song said, Money,Money,Money, plain and simple, perhaps the oil business ain't to good in Oz. Nobody can beat the ageing process, especially sportsmen, and you sure as hell don't bounce as well when you get older, but good luck to him, will still be a big scalp for the crazy kids to get.

That would make more sense, just a shame Jason doesn’t say I’m racing here whilst Seth finishes his schooling in the UK whilst he races bikes himself.

would make it much clearer!

In all honestly it makes perfect sense him racing here whilst he is here with his Seth. If that’s the real reason (as well as having the racing bug again) then just say so.

People will jump to their own conclusions anyway.

Cars? Motorbikes,,, and good one at that 

Maybe seth is finishing his school,,, and then coming over,, his school might finish in spring. 

There are only 8 rounds of his series,,, so it may start a bit later

Truth is Jason hasn’t been very clear how Seth’s schedule fit into all this if at all.
