And with quarantine hotels starting next week, actually getting riders to the meetings could be an issue if they are still around in May. Which if they follow the 'Aussie Model' they still will be... You could end up with just a pool of UK based riders guesting every night in both leagues to complete the fixtures... Another question mark being therefore whether enough punters would fork out £20 or so to watch it... The promoters will need some support and goodwill this year I feel to complete the season in a league format.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A plane full of Aussie open Tennis players had to quarantine after one person on their plane had a positive test on arrival... After all had been tested, and all negative, before they left... And they all had to form a bubble together not drip feed into the country individually, which Speedway riders will invariably do... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
