As a regular at Monmore and occasional visitor to Arlington I much prefer the latter. Technical but it can be attacked unlike Monmore. Monmore was designed for 2 riders and a fantastic opportunity missed to create a lovely d-shape down back straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its got nothing to do with who can and who can't do it. Someone had to go, and it appears its because Thorsell was going to be based in Sweden rather than England. Thorsell himself said it would be a problem a few weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrizHeathen 37 Posted February 8, 2021 It always makes me laugh when riders earnings are discussed. It isn't really anyone else's business other than the rider and club thats paying. Most deals are private and us mere mortals really don't know. I'm sure we'd be surprised if we did. Rumours abound that a rider is earning such and such but its a subject thats taboo in so many ways.

There's a lot more to it than points money. You've got guarantees, van or no van, accomodation, flights, sign on fees, etc, etc. Three heat leaders all on the same guarantee per meeting is one FACT I do know (not Wolves).
