Of course you wouldn't... But, the sport clearly isn't at the same level over here.   That is why Poland can pay £50k plus a meeting to certain individual  riders, using massive TV money, massive national company sponsors and five figure crowds... If the UK had the same income you wouldn't need part time riders... However, by the same logic .. If my Auntie had, had bollox she would have been my Uncle..  

Seen Ryan in the U19 Championship at Worky. Showed a bit of promise but its a big step up into the Championship, be interesting to see how he copes with the challenge.

Caveat that win with Dan Thompson crashing out of that meeting, and in the final Joe Thompson was unlucky that both Hagon and Harrison were on his back wheel right from the start. He did well to hang on to first as long as he did given he was riding defensively to block 2 riders. Had only 1 of the 2 been on his back wheel then I think Joe would have won.  That being said, sometimes a change of scenery works wonders for a rider. And Hagon spent most of last year as a second string, but in that line up he's a reserve which could make a difference. Most British riders develop slightly later in their career so there is still time for Hagon to become a top rider. However in 2 visits to Ashfield with Berwick last year Hagon got 3 from 3 rides and 0 from 3 rides. I'm not sure those performances will convince Tigers to go for him

I suspect he'll be one of the weaker reserves in the league next season. Good young rider but feel this is a jump too early at the moment  

Unsurprisingly Mark Lemon in the SS is bigging up the Premier league and saying it just needs 2 clubs to move up. Otherwise it could have serious repercussions for the Championship if the commuting riders can’t ride because our tracks operate when they like meaning rider shortage and wage demands from all the rest. No TV deal might mean it’s plan B ! 

Happy with this signing, seems to have progressed nicely throughout the season.
