TTT 1,269 Posted February 20, 2023 Does anyone know what averages Emil & Laguta would come in on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,287 Posted February 20, 2023 The negative publicity isn’t ideal obviously, but that isn’t the fault of anyone at the club. That’s down to a pi$sed off rider who knew exactly what he was doing by going public which has opened up a can of worms that others have now jumped in on including other riders now sticking the boot in. This kind of thing goes on all the time behind closed doors, loyalty is a two way thing. Sometimes clubs let riders down, sometimes riders let clubs down. It’s business but it should be kept in house. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,269 Posted February 20, 2023 Just now, Arch Stanton said: 8 I’d have thought. Emil was assessed on a 8.00 when he rode for Coventry in 2011. Just wondered whether it would've changed due to him not riding in the GP's anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody comes out of this a winner, like many have said before me though I just hope whoever is lined up instead makes us forget about this sorry saga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the flip side, turn up with the right mindset to race and not throw a hissy fit and get shown by your little brother how to ride your home track and your employer may show you a little more respect 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t be naive of course it does. Not everyone lights the blue touch paper and blabs on social media though. Your lot for instance signed a rider last winter that had already signed for someone else months earlier. It’s business, it happens.

JoeW436 612 Posted February 20, 2023 That group of Aussie riders comes across as quite immature from an outsider looking in, one of them that seemed to find last nights episode on social media particularly funny yet probably won’t be laughing come season start when in all likelihood won’t have a ride in the top league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,287 Posted February 20, 2023 Drew Kemp is another example. He recently admitted he was told not to sign for anyone else as he was guaranteed a ride for a club, but then was let down by that club who signed someone else and left him without a ride. He could have named that club, but to his credit he didn’t do that and kept it professional. Holder could learn a thing or two by someone over ten years his junior! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,269 Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Batchelor will be forced into retirement soon if he keeps on burning bridges. Belle Vue won't sign him after he turned them over last season which led to them signing Allen & Etheridge in the 1-5. Ipswich have got shot of him after 1 year which speaks volumes. Buster won't sign him again. Can't ride Sheffield for toffee and the fans booed him every week. CVS doesn't like to make drastic changes at Wolves and he'll always retain as many riders as he can from the previous season / seasons. Holder has burnt his bridges with the club after the race suit reveal imo, Still think Tungate ends up at Peterborough at some point next season if Tomalin completes a takeover.

Why protects clubs/management who treat riders so unprofessionally themselves tho?? If they’re not exposed and held to account by the riders who’s going to? If no one does they’ll carry on just taking michael 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a theme here...whinging Aussies..and Batchelor is the king of them...and gives up when he's at the back..which is quite often these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
