erniew 163 Posted January 18, 2018 No Steve, It's not certain that Danny will be in the team. But what we do know is that Danny was keen on returning if fit. On the financial side, he lives locally and travel costs would be minimal and you also have to factor in he was only one meeting away from virtually doubling his average. I think the fact that the new promoter is his father may have some small input but I don't think that any of the promotion team would let nepertism cloud the issue of assembling the best team possible under whatever financial resraints have been set in place.

erniew 163 Posted January 18, 2018 So are you saying that a rider living in Sweden gets 15p per mile to help towards the cost of his 'plane ticket? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted January 18, 2018 A suppose its down the individual rider, somewhere between what he wants and what he is prepared to accept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has Danny even been back on a bike since his crash ?? Not sure it he has yet but he has already signed for the NL, I think for Stoke, so he must think he is OK. Probably trying out at Redcar when the track is fit to ride I would imagine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds like a similar choice you make when deciding if the woman youve just met is worthy of a 2nd date..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
