flagrag 704 Posted April 28, 2021 I have a feeling that Chris Widman has retired to concentrate on his Butchers business and personally I am not sure about Mickie Simpson from what I have seen in British Youth series he seems to crash a lot and also his equipment looks like needs investment although he is quite an accomplished Grasstrack rider 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No less thanks to people who slated my family on here relentlessly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

( Maybe he could do a double signing and ride for the Cubs and supply the burgers & sausages that currently taste like cardboard) 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ringitsneck 348 Posted May 13, 2021 I’m hearing that the Cubs are to run with R/R for Halder for 28 days, ( I’ve been told this by a rider who has NDL experience from 2019 and is still looking for a place ) then so much for helping the youth as there’s still lads available that ( like my contact ) would jump at a place to show their ability. Poor decision by the club and governing body. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor decision by the club and governing body. I could be very wrong but, if he hasn't rode an official match for the club, you can't use r/r. Please correct me if I am wrong. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe you are correct in your statement. However at the express decision of the BSPL a facility can be used for a 28 day period. When that period starts or finishes can be adjusted depending how far up the food chain you are. I understand Coty Garcia is stuck in Argentina as they are in lockdown so Berwick will also have a facility Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ringitsneck 348 Posted May 13, 2021 Whilst ‘ established ‘ riders of Garcia’s standard may be harder to replace I still think R/R should not even be allowed in the NDL especially considering the outcry regarding riders being put out of teams due to the new lower points limit. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor decision by the club and governing body. They’ll argue it gives their existing riders more track time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
