Thought he looked a prospect just seemed to disappear Agreed apparently he was looking for a team place last year however didn’t get one and sold his bikes that were over here. Would love to see him back over here for his all action riding and hair style however like the post above says I don’t see it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was a piece in the Star last year about it , Connor saying he was being bullied by some mechanics with Frazer and Shane Bowes involved with a few others. Connor lost his Licence to ride for a while whilst the allegations were investigated but got it back. Never heard what the outcome was but it’s fair to say if Connor is at Glasgow Frazer Bowes won’t.

cyclone 943 Posted November 15, 2021 Having called the BSPL bluff of no Poles in the Championship, will Glasgow now go for Tobiasz Musielak for 2022? As his last Premier average with Swindon was 6.52, applying the 1.6 conversion for the Championship, this would make him their number one on 10.43 Assuming they would also wish to retain Cook, Ostergaard, Brennan, & Bailey I reckon the following would be their team building averages, including 2.5% for UK riders who were tier 3 eligible at some point in time:- Tobiasz Musielak 10.43 Craig Cook 8.91 reduced to 8.69 Ulrich Ostergaard 7.96 Tom Brennan 6.48 reduced to 6.32 Connor Bailey 4.27 reduced to 4.16 If I'm correct this would give a total of 37.56, leaving 4.44 to fit in the final two, if the minimum starting average was set at 2.00 for UK newcomers. If not allowed, then at least one of the above 1 - 5 would have to be dropped, to accommodate the Pole at number one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont concern yourself about anyone in the Bowes family, you wont find a more genuine friendly family in the sport of speedway.

Nope, never said anything of the kind. But its true that two young Aussies, maybe from towns thousands of miles apart and even if they've never met before arriving here, are more likely to bond than (say) a German with a French lad, or a Swede with a Dane. Australians do tend to stick together over here. Edited November 15, 2021 by crescent girl 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
