Its a shame Austrailia don't have a really strong fourth rider in his prime like Fricke, Holder and Kurtz with Doyle at reserve if they had one more top line rider they could probably give the poles a run in the world team cup next time round.

Sounds a right miserable sod. Did he leave when it got to happy hour?

Ah bless him with his bike issues. Dont worry about our Aussies they will be fine.

Good post. The point I have been trying to make is his "rehab " starts now ,being gainful employed  and occupied as much of the time as possible is the best chance he has of making a fist of it .By all means he should  be encouraged to show some of form  remorse for his appalling crime /crimes and demonstate he wish to become a asset to society .    To be clear I consider his situation to be totally HIS  own making but that isn't to say we pehaps should not give him the opportunity to put things right .

😂 my mate did this joke a few years back to a big bloke in a Workington pub, we were up at worky early for a meeting and went to a local pub, my mate got chatting to a local who said he raced pigeons to which my mate said have you even beaten one,we nearly started a fight 

This is an attempt at vicarious negligence or something similar, the fact is his contract would have been between himself and his club(s) so I am not convinced British Speedway would be the one to have to deal with it, unless they knew that multiple riders had issues and decided to do nothing about it. Of course we have no idea if he was offered / given help or not.
