Or is it a secret handshake deal only for people in the know? He doesn’t have a work permit plus personal issues which are frankly none of our business.

Didn't think that was the issue, thought Lemon selected Fricke ahead of Holder, presumably as Fricke rides for the two clubs who hosted the events. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone who applies for a UK work permit/visa needs to have their application 'sponsored' or supported usually by the employer before it can be processed. It also requires no other 'complications/objections/issues' to be part of it. The employer for the GPs is BSI who I am told submit a 'block' application for all GP riders. That may not be 100% correct but its part of what I'm told! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bald Bloke 3,287 Posted June 12, 2018 He's been riding here for what, 10 years? Bit of a funny one. Maybe somethings happened in his personal life that's stopping him somehow from being allowed to work here. Is weired, but not our business. And to think it was stated on here that Ford, wouldn't let him go on loan in 2018. But wanted to sell him.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teams will be too stong in the main body, lots of pressure on Klindt, Wroyna & Szczepaniak to score big points.....are they consistent enough?! Interesting to hear what you Poole fans ok think? personally I think that's our season over, we are lacking a big hitter at 1, nobody seems too want to race here, lets just ride the season out and look forward to 2019 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
