I caught that too 😂 pretty sure those decisions were already made and like you say, he was just giving both riders some encouragement.

Max is doing grass track would be good choice if he doesn't have a prior meeting lined up 

Sadly, these kind of meetings show how little the competitions mean in the eyes of the promoters... Why run such meetings knowing FIM meetings are taking place? By definition the riders missing will be the "better ones" too.... If an independent body existed then this meeting wouldn't have happened or RR would have been the only facility... If the riders qualify then there will be even more clashes .. The UK has to stop "making up Speedway" as it does it no favours... There will be, I am sure, promoters out there wondering again how the local ice hockey team can get double their crowds.. And a if a track needs to bring in an overseas rider due to not having enough UK riders of the required level, then that is squarely down to their lack of focus on UK rider development over the past few decades... The vicious circle will continue unless UK rider development becomes the No1 priority for tier two in particular.... You need fans to take the sport seriously if you want it to be successful... I presume those who run it as a hobby don't feel the need to run it that way...

Hope they don't get fined it brings a little spice to the entertainment, like it used to be.

Funny how he’s laid claim on Brennan being an “Ace” and wants his club to take credit for him, or any other rider that has ridden for them, developing well 🙄 If anyone can legitimately take credit for that it’s Eastbourne.

There will end up being a guest for at least one of them...
