I know that Nicki Pedersen shared TM duties with Henrik Moller at Wrocław because he was riding, but why isn’t he TM for this? Maybe riding for his Polish team suggesting he shouldn’t have taken on the TM role?

He’s not team manager for U 21’s similar to Stead and Allen also.

Is this being held at the same venue that they had to abandon last time?

Yes same place. Having said that they have held several meetings on the track since which have been ok, but if i remember the track is always on the slick side.

The worry is that with practice on Friday then the SON 2 meeting plus GP qualifying on Saturday morning plus the GP itself the track is going to take a hammering !!

i have already wished the FIM CCP director  present at  the weekend all the best lol.

If I'm remembering the 2021 Euro under 19 correctly, then ok may be stretching it a bit.

Connor Bailey qualifies as British on his mother's side. Has always declared he'd ride for GB not Australia and has previously ridden for GB in Europe.

FYI Drew Kemp was born in Germany
