I know he's been injured but all season him,Theo, Ricky have been so up and down on the updates tonight said Ricky let Bomber pass him what's wrong with him passing the opposition stick by my opinion only 2 riders worth keeping, remember Leon saying in an interview the rest "to pull their fingers out " to no effect.

I doubt Jonas would've been riding for Berwick anyway tonight as this is a re-arranged fixture and Knudson is racing in Denmark tonight.

At this rate we will be lucky to see Jonas in Berwick`s colours again this season.

Why did the management state that the were waiting to see if his Visa arrived in time or Joe Thompson would take his place if it didn’t,if he was not going to be there anyway .?

What date did Berwick actually apply for the visa is more to the point. They can only trundle out the current visa narrative for so long, its become tiresome. Why not come out and say we are protecting Knudsens average for 2023 and be done with it.

You can add Ricky Wells to that as riders who regularly under achieve in away meetings, just an extra point or two from these riders in meetings like last night would make a difference.

There are 3 Berwick riders with a bigger home/away differential: Etheridge, Flint and Pijper.

When JK signed for Berwick they had 9 matches (that count) left. But Jonas would have been absent for two of them (last night and clash with Wroclaw GP2) so barring rearrangements would never have ridden 8 matches.
