I believe he rode for Belle Vue & was below 5.00 but since he has become a GP rider & won the Polish championship 2007 was his last GSA which was 6.51 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then as LagutaFan said in reply, he hasn't shown any interest in riding in the UK for the last 15 years. So who knows? I love his never-say-die racing style, and would love him to come and ride for the Brummies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wee Eck 703 Posted January 16 The longer it goes on, the less likely it is to be a signing that will propel Birmingham off the bottom. The team owes it to its loyal supporters to make an announcement. Their behaviour is just like 2022 when they signed Adam Ellis on a short term contract - about 8 weeks or so - just before press and practice day but told him not to tell anyone how short the contract was. When he stuck to the contract and left in mid-May, Adam was accused of walking out. A bit of honesty rather than a load of BS is what’s needed now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither Pawlicki has reached “star” status since they stopped riding in UK and Milik has really gone nowhere since his stint at Poole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing as been signed. Which is a massive worry really as a rider will need to sign soon to organise things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
