He’s got a very well paid job back in Denmark, and, I’m sure I heard, pays way more than championship racing. Sure he was to have said he would be happy riding Denmark Wednesday and Poland on the weekend. 

It has happened before. If Pickering races in the Champ his 2027 Champ ave will be his most recent, not his 2026 Prem average. I agree it's a daft rule. But they don't think things things through when they make rules, do they? Most recent example would be Drew Kemp, he signed for Workington on his 2026 Prem ave converted, not his 2025 Champ ave for Berwick. He didn't have to miss a whole season to use a converted average.

Bloody hell

Monarchs could still fit in an 8.50 newcomer at 1. Rumoured on the Ipswich thread that Kim Nilsson could be coming in as a 6.00 in the Premiership, in which case he would be an 8.50 in the Championship (category 3 rider under SCB regulations)

Yep, definitely Dan, goatee different to his brother’s 😀

Probably all true... And definitely all laughable..
