Never beat an opposition rider,gifted a point in a 3 rider race.You have question is it worthwhile.Like I have said it is not a high level, it’s questionable if it Championship level .IMO.He is getting experience but he will have to improve if he wants to move up a level in Poland.It’s a different ball game.Most of the Young Brits are finding it tough.Wish them well though.

I`d be surprised is Bickley has his own equipment out in Poland to use so if he has Torun club bikes you wonder about the maintenance of those bikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
