But using the +5% rule you could have someone better....

Rowe is Glasgow's guest tonight

Yes probably you are correct, pure speculation on my part. Bates may not pay an extra bonus but more points mean more money and I expect Max doesnt come cheap. Drew Kemp is an enigma, has good nights like last night but not often enough given his  ability.

Based on nothing but pure speculation. He may have just got a new engine but he did look very fast, Sam Masters looked fast earlier in the meeting but nowhere near Max when they met. It is a shame for Kings Lynn that they have not seen this form, I thought he used to go well at Saddlebow.

Wouldn't his GP bike (s) be in Torun for the SGP. It's the Bates paying so I suspect you are in cloud cuckoo land regarding any extra bonus. Drew Kemp impressed me most of the visitors last night. Battled hard for his points and was unlucky when he lost out on the line for a win in one race, but it was to a great pass so nothing to be ashamed of.  

If a rider is good enough they will make it even with no rising star system. No system can make riders better who are not good enough
