This needs someone who can interpret the rule book. His absence was for a family emergency which is understandable. Does the fact he was absence as a guest make any difference? A non speedway absence might mean a 7 day suspension. In which case a replacement at 75% of Kyle’s GSA of 8.28 could apply. Just my thoughts and happy to be corrected.

They publish the top earners numbers usually at the end of the season.. Usually a fair few with £600k plus... Which is why it pees off the Poles when their riders get injured riding overseas... Riders will use their signature money at the start of the season,  to build not only their Polish kit, but also their GP kit, and their kit for whichever other leagues they race in.. Also. Look at any rehab that needs doing. Invariably it is the Polish team footing the bill, regardless of where the relevant injury happened.... It is big money, big pressure, big jeopardy, big consequences over there... Just how a professional sport should be..

Injuries haven't helped after Poole they have two of best UK youngsters out there.

Jeez when you look at those numbers you have to give them credit for riding here at all for relative buttons in comparison.

And Gollob

Another cruel truth of the risks these guys take for our entertainment Gundo and Per Jonson absolute top drawer riders in their day, Leigh Adams even more cruely as he had left the sport when his accident happened, plus Darcy the one rider who could have maybe stopped Bartoz.
