Its just speculation seeing as he isnt signed up anywhere and Birmingham are his parent club Is there a list of riders who have stated they intend to seek out a uk club. Doubt there is so just trying to fill in a few blanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the info. Hes a great rider for championship level. Hope you guys get fixed up.

I tend yo agree pal, he seems to crash a lot. Seems a bit reckless to me Just looks like he could be a strong possibility given thats hes british and has the average to be classed as a 2nd string Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heathen52 384 Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Are The Brummies a new company If so can they get a sponsors licence for overseas riders ?, If not then there options may be even more limited. Edited December 20, 2021 by heathen52 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dog 413 Posted December 20, 2021 I'd be happy to give Roynon a chance on a 5ish average. A good gater which is a bonus for a second string or reserve because they get the inside gates and once ahead has speed and good track craft. I know he's had injuries but a lot of them haven't been his fault, he's just been in the wrong place at the wrong time, whereas Bates seems to create his own issues.

Jimsboy 58 Posted December 21, 2021 4 riders left. I'm really struggling to think of 4. 2 maybe and they would only be 2nd strings at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
