Things of course might have changed as they did with Lewis Rose last year. Edited March 2, 2019 by Tsunami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure I recall Newcastle don’t/didn’t have one? Although some one may correct me if I’m wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not needed if they have British patriality in their family, upto grand parents level I think or dual nationality. Edited March 2, 2019 by Tsunami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winditon 233 Posted March 3, 2019 Luna and Palovaara out. Worrall and one other in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted March 3, 2019 all very strange in what has been the usual way Club has been run, as some have said, relatively new Promoter and obviously he thinks he has found a better option, may be cheaper option. Will be interesting to see who it is. Campton is my guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will be interesting to see who it is. Campton is my guess Not sure how many points we have to play with. Obviously it's hard on Palovaara and something i thought Newcastle wouldn't do but if there's a chance to bring one of the best number one riders in the league it's a no brainer. We have some real heat leaders now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crescent girl 1,907 Posted March 3, 2019 There might now be a case that, in future, the 1-7 nominated and (presumably) contracted and registered pre-season is required to actually start the season -- with an obvious caveat of MC permission to make a change in the case of an off-season injury, or other unavailability.

HGould 2,213 Posted March 3, 2019 Palovaara is 6.25 - so would leave 6.68 to play with. Worrall might get a 2% reduction (at best) so lowest he can be is 8.01. So bigger change needed to fit Worrall in. Rider has to be 6.68 or lower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted March 3, 2019 I might be wrong but i always thought Team Decs had to be in by 1 March to be checked and ratified by BSPA. Until Team Decs go in and are ratified, ethically I guess a Club have not "declared" officially 1-7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rider has to be 6.68 or lower He's entitled to a 2.5% reduction, and will be 7.97 (as dictated by the average he was brought in on at Workington).
