racers and royals 8,774 Posted March 2, 2022 So let`s get this straight, Bewley signs to ride again for Wroclaw in 2022, under an existing Extraleague rule permitting him to ride in 1 other league. He then signs for Smederna in Sweden. He then along with Belle Vue management thinks he can force the Poles to change their rules in order to ride in 3 leagues total. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DBP 66 Posted March 2, 2022 32 minutes ago, ljriley90 said: Yes im with you here. I think the new ruling for the uk where a rider from polish top league can ride three leagues is very recent. With us being last clubto announce isuppose we are able to go for riders in polish top already engaged in denmark and sweden. I can half understand why other uk clubs might feel we have had a bit of an advantage as we technically we have more roders to approach than they did by completing their teambuilding early. It obviously shows the uk teams would drop a lot of their signed riders if they could Do you not understand the rules have not changed Bewley can't ride for the Aces he is already signed for polish and Swedish clubs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,659 Posted March 2, 2022 So what now for the Aces final 2 riders. It was to be Bewley and Thomson. Will Thomson still be in the mix or will it all be down to availability and averages? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely seems the case that the Poles have dropped the two league only rule. Godfrey is trying to spin it some other way, because other teams completed their teams early, while Lemon looks like he had inside info from Poland and waited for the rule to be dropped. The teams who completed early seem to have gone bellyaching to Godfrey about being outsmarted. Would be interesting to know which 2 PL teams supported the Aces and which 3 put the block on their legal team declaration.

I've also read Dan Bewley's comment which caused Godfrey's hasty panic statement. Which one is true? Well, I make that call based on which person I believe has no reason to lie, and which one I believe has a documented history of not being entirely truthful. Bit of Background Reading Edited March 2, 2022 by RoundTheBoards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
