Not a bad move for a club that's running 'so far over budget', cant imagine he would be much cheaper than Thompson. 1 hour ago, StarBoy said: Being an SGP2 rider I can't imagine he is cheaper at all 1 hour ago, DJC said: Exactly, plus flights etc. Exciting move for the club and fans. Presume he comes in on a 5 and starts at no2? Why do press releases never include averages of riders coming in Perhaps the rider wants to extend his experience and therefore his demands are more reasonable than many would expect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iainb 5,017 Posted July 21, 2023 Personally I think it's good to see this kind of signing again... which seems to have been sadly missing since Covid/Brexit. A lot of the riders that were coming over here in the past now opt for the Polish U24 league, Aussies included. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Najjer 2,890 Posted July 21, 2023 Very surprised by this but a welcome addition to the league. A very capable young man who isn’t afraid of tracks which aren’t like a snooker table. Looking forward to seeing how he goes but I think he will be pretty decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jakobsen's last meeting was the 12th, he'd notified the club the previous week it'd be his last meeting. Pickering was injured in May & never returning. All done under the guidance of Brady. Jakobsen & Pickering weren't in the budget when Buster made that statement. Buster's budget concerns are with Laguta (expensive) & Klindt (no delivering), both on guarantees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
