Lionspride 26 Posted March 8, 2020 I think Luke Becker is a great signing for The Rebels I was very keen for him at Leicester. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 340 Posted March 8, 2020 Looks a really interesting team, not the same old names, good to see new faces with potential that we can follow their progress throughout the season. I predict many last heat deciders. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zlata prilba 320 Posted March 8, 2020 I would have been happy if Becker had ended up at Birmingham so I presume that he not got a Polish team this year..I predict he will be in the GPs in a couple of years.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anders at 3 with Bates at 4. Agree with Ben at 5. Might move that around away from home though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might move that around away from home though. Unless the rules have changed (?) Luke will have to start at No 5 as he is 2nd in the averages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 854 Posted March 9, 2020 I guess the theory that Becker work permit doesn't allow him to ride the Championship was total *%$£ then! I think he'll be a great signing for the Rebels, might be a little hit & miss away from home as he will not have seen most of the tracks before but give him a little time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had to apply for a second visa. The one he had (like Jack Holder’s) only allowed him to race in one league 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seemingly, you don't know how this works. Somerset (who are holders of a sponsors licence) must have agreed terms, with Luke Becker and now applied for and received a work permit for him to ride in the championship. He needs a separate work permit, for each league (Premier and Championship), which well done Somerset, they have secured. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would explain why he couldn't sign for Brummies then as I believe Brummies current Promoters don't have a Work Permit in place to offer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Birmingham, have a sponsors licence, to enable them to obtain visa's and work permits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
