And look at Germany now - SON2 gold medallists! They've cracked it. It's better than any Rising Star scheme.

It at lleast give the promoters 12 months to sort something out... But not sure it changes too much from the current situation as not many Danes or Swedes currently ride over here.. For the "top riders" most who ride here don't ride in Sweden or Denmark so they may stick with the UK...? (If they don't get removed from the UK next year that is!!!)... Is it just Max that rides in Sweden of the GP riders who currently ride over here?  The Aussies could also possibly face visa issues to live here if they don't work here.. It will count any Danes out as I believe they must ride in their own league to get a licence, and the Swedes will ride in their own leagues I would think... Most of the Poles and Europeans seem to prefer Sweden now as their alternative league currently, so, for the UK it won't make that much difference I would think... Unless of course the money in Sweden is significantly higher and those who currently do ride over there, here and Poland get their heads turned by it... And that could be a distinct possibility as you will imagine Sweden will be doing everything it can to make their leagues more attractive money wise given it could be a straight choice between the UK and there for many of those mid level riders in particular..

More likely 500 fans at £25 as VAT needs to be deducted. That said, a good portion of the two riders “pay” is met by sponsorship rather than gate receipts.  

Most riders of any worth are 'tapped up' prior to the season end. Its just that some teams' seasons are over a lot sooner than others!😇

Is it time the authorities bite the bullet and create a single league without trying to entice GP riders? Would it impact crowds that much if the highest average riders were essentially the top Championship guys now? I’m not so sure. 

I’m absolutely on board with this. I know nothing about the lad but for his name alone I’m all in.
