Makes you realise how much the league has had to be watered down.I still think that if such a watering down of the league was necessary, it should have been 1 league and 6 man teams to at least try to maintain interest/ sell the concept of a new start . Not enough riders... You only have enough now due to the majority riding for two teams.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynnboy 254 Posted March 21, 2021 The only way we will get Riss back is if his German team pull out of the polish league but I doubt that will happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So is there hope of getting Riss?Is that a possibility why they haven't named Lawson yet?And if Riss does come back can we have Lawson as the rising star. If Lynn wanted to be ruthless and Riss did come back you could replace any of the top 5 with Lawson.The team would look a lot better to say have Lawson in for Proctor.

The only stumbling block I can see is international travel from the UK is banned at the moment and with the virus on the rise again in Europe that’s Is looking as if that could stay in place longer . Things of course could change . Lawson is the obvious choice and he will be available each meeting as Riss could have major travel problems and not be available each meeting and in all honesty I’d thought a Brit should be employed first . 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Brit would be employed first if they got rid of Proctor Unsure on the travel restrictions but thought sportsmen could travel with tests etc.If they can't then that would be a blow to all clubs as many have riders riding elsewhere in Europe too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Poles dictate and if riders are not happy they are shown the exit door. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
