All these press releases that keep referencing the problems around rider availability because of Polish restrictions We’ve already had Jack Holder and Jason Doyle confirm they are going to carry on over here, whilst Robert Lambert, Rohan Tungate and Nicki Pedersen are confirmed as being out. Haven’t seen anything on Dan Bewley or Jaimon Lidsey. The ‘massive rider availability’ problem is because 5, possibly a few others aren’t riding here? Has to be more to it than that.

mikebv 10,292 Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Six man teams in both leagues? Premiership Lite? Two Prem heat leaders, two second strings/championship 'third' heat leaders who double up, two Championship second strings/reserves who double up? Championsip Lite? One heat leader (doubling down), three Championship level second strings/Prem reserves doubling down, two reserves (NL double uppers?) Mainly British, lots of rides for the double uppers/downers, and gives plenty of the NL lads a chance to race in the 2nd tier.. Maybe even do some number crunching to devise a set maximum points limits on each segment of the team, ie top two riders, middle two riders, and bottom two riders all have a maximum points level per pair that you must work to, this would prevent one team having two outstanding heat leaders... Very important that each track gets a fair crack at putting a decent team together.. Edited January 6, 2021 by mikebv 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
00000 1,279 Posted January 6, 2021 If you gave them the keys to the brewery, everyone would go home stone cold sober. They have had months to work it out - the Polish situation has been known for months and you cannot say that you didn't know the Brexit transition was ending and how that might affect employment rights of Europeans. It could, and should, have all be sorted out months ago. They are dithering. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could, and should, have all be sorted out months ago. They are dithering. Having a major rider (who will have had fixtures planned around his own individual ambition and racing schedule), be announced the day before the planned AGM that he won't be riding over here, suggests the last nine months of planning opportunity hasn't been too well delivered doesn't it? Maybe the time has been spent on the usual "how can we work around every one else's agenda instead of ploughing our own furrow and become in charge of our own destiny?"...

When the season starts because of corona virus is neither here nor there with regards the make up of the teams. It’s an absolute mess to now have made no plans and solutions to conquer Brexit, Polish League and other doings which have been on the cards as you say for months and beyond. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
