Otherwise I'm sure a prem club will be looking to buy him in 2/3 years time at a nice profit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good of him to want to ride England first before Poland though, some young riders are starting to go to Poland first. Edit - aaah when I say England I obv mean Scotland too! Sorry, habit That's no apology - just ignorance. If you mean Britain or UK say Britain or UK. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're so far behind other nations, Danes have about 5/6 off top of my head that are next in line as potential top riders. Our current crop probably best been around for a long time but we won't do jack if they can't get experience riding on the continent. End of the day look at Lambert and Dan, they leave anyway!!

With the money on offer in Poland any rider with ambition will be off like a shot if they get an offer,including Young Brits.Even the Young Aussies see Poland as their first port of call these days.

At least Aussies such as Darcy and JC are telling them to do UK first, whether they take it on board is anyone's guess! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not always possible for them. Most, if not all, of the young Aussies that have gone to Poland first have done it because they couldn't get a work visa for the UK but could get one for Poland. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
