Recommended Posts

Since breaking the news that this is being considered it’s all gone a bit Cold, anyone heard anything as to if and when this could happen ?

Another question I have on the matter; whilst it was stated that there will be an individual series, it was not stated at what level it will be. Is it for the top riders, rising stars, or Premiership junior riders?  If it is for regular team riders I would assume you will need 6 totally free dates.

Just had a quick look at fixtures. As far as see, there are 9 blank dates, either Monday or Thursday, between season starting and Play offs commencing. Taking in to account some fixtures, which were scheduled before 17th May, have yet to be re-arranged, one off the free dates is the Thursday before the GB GP, and the possibility of rain offs, does leave some questions, about if it is going ahead, and indeed, at what level of rider it is aimed at.

Does it have to be on a Monday or Thursday?

Can it be three meeting on the same night?

If it's a meeting at Premiership heat leader standard, presumably yes, as some riders could have championship matches.

Would dilute the quality of the field.

If it is for Premiership riders, would be a problem. Most individuals have 16 riders, so 3 meetings would need 48 riders. Premiership has 6 teams with 7 riders, so would be 6 riders short, even if no riders injures.

Noticed some amendments to the original fixture list, and not just matches prior to 17th May. Still no inclusion of dates for individuals. Starting to look more like it is cancelled.

The Poles have already done that.

Wonder if it will take place around the time the British GP was due to take place. No scheduled fixtures around then.

May be better on a Thursday as some riders will have Polish commitments.
