I never said most Championship teams fans thought it was a better league than the Premiership just a better product. I think you will find that the riders you mention do very nicely out of the Championship in terms of earnings.  To suggest that the Premiership big money 'helps them ride in the second tier' as if they couldn't do so without is doubtful. These riders choose to do Championship   to boost their earnings.  Riders signed for European teams may be in a better position to drop the Championship because they no longer need it for financial reasons. Premiership teams this season had between 3 and 5 riders who also rode Championship . If it went to one British League I don't envisage many riders and certainly not the Aussies giving up British Speedway but that is just my personal opinion.

From the NSSC website …… Pippa is a FIM Commission member for Women and is also the first Ambassador for Women in Motorcycle Racing at the ACU, a role specifically created for her. Pippa has spent over twenty years involved with motorcycle sports, initially through her relationship with Irish Superbike and Moto GP racer, Eugene Laverty, who is now her husband.  Pippa has recently fallen in love with our sport and is gutted that she hasn't been involved before now. One of her key passions and focus is to help raise the profile of women's speedway on the international stage, and in the last three years she's had some notable success. Her role within the ACU though has expanded beyond this now, so for example, Pippa is also responsible for their social media output as well. British Speedway also benefits as she has applied her skill set to help with their media events, hospitality and sponsorship.  Pippa certainly knows her way round the ACU rule book and regulations and took the time to attain a clerk of the course licence. She understands and respects that the governing body is made up of volunteers who are passionate about making improvements within the sport, rather than just police it As is the case with many enterprising women striving to make a positive change within male dominated motorcycle sports, Pippa has skilfully learned how to open doors in order to achieve her goals and has responded to any barriers positively as a challenge.
