arnieg 3,651 Posted March 16, 2021 I imagine this is an indication of how difficult it is to find riders who are willing to commit to a season of speedway in the UK, with considerable uncertainty remaining over travel restrictions etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted March 16, 2021 1 hour ago, spin king junior said: I'd imagine he'll be coming in on a 3. Just don't get the signing at all, doesn't give us much more to play with if we'd signed Morris instead and our best option is probably still Ricky Wells. If yous signed Morris youd have less that 4.00 to play with for the final signing... if james is a 3.00 rider now yous have over 4.00... so I imagine that the final signing will be zaine Kennedy on a 4.00? Glad to see james get signed up elsewhere and he looked pretty quick at the ben fund last year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted March 16, 2021 Wight in fairness has been quick on the grasstracks during his time off from the shale plus signing for Newcastle also should half guarantee a decent amount of track time for sharpness. Still an out there signing but could prove to be a beauty but still a shame that he has been given a spot over a rider like Mountain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 3,046 Posted March 16, 2021 If Wright is a 3.00 man then it's not a bad signing! Any higher than that, odd choice of rider to sign! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spin king 1,923 Posted March 16, 2021 So its James Wright. Did not see that one coming. Not quite sure what I feel about it, lot will depend upon what average James will come in on, if it is a 3.00 average then it may prove an astute signing. Looks like a we have just over 4 points for the final rider. It will be interesting to see who we get in . Danish Wonderkid Marcus Birkemose on 4 point average maybe. Who knows.

Charlieboy 412 Posted March 16, 2021 Not sure he’d come over here to race. I read something recently saying he’d got some personal issues. Shame really if he had because he looks like the next big prospect from Denmark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
