Doubling up is bad for the sport, good for the riders. Things should be done for the good of the sport. In most other motorsports only the very elite competitors are lucky enough to race as their full time profession. Most speedway riders seem to expect a full time living from the sport even if they’re second tier, second string plodders or worse. Could double uppers with visa's get an outside job.

They’d just have to make sure they’re good enough to make the sport pay. Can’t be persisting with rules that are killing the sport here because a few riders’ noses may be put out of joint. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any replacements take the number of the rider they’re replacing. Kinda confusing, Edinburgh saying Kye is in and Josh Pickering now riding in Poland. So I thought one is just replacing the other. But can't see either in this line up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josh Pickering is riding in Poland tomorrow for Gniezno in their home match with Pila, the same meeting that Sam Masters is riding in. It does seem odd that the BSPL would schedule what should be a meeting that the Championship riders would want to ride in for a weekend where the Polish play offs were taking place. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shhalewhhale 26 Posted August 26, 2023 Fair comment. He needs to be here on Monday to race for Panthers anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noelinho 928 Posted August 26, 2023 Nevertheless, isn't it silly to have this and the Championship Pairs in the same week as the original cut off date for team fixtures? That's piss poor planning from the league. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
