Yes I was there and I was very disappointed in his attitude too but that is his character, Drew gets down on himself when it does not go his way and often retires when last. Lawson usually wins most races, he is a different level to Kemp and he will be back.

Lawson is a bad loser always has been,but this is what makes him one of the best riders in the league.

Well the last rider who refused to go out to a trophy presentation was Drew Kemp and we all know what happened there. ( I know that was for winning rather than losing but still...)  Doesn't look good in the official photos when full team isn't there imo. 

Which Pederson ? Bastian or Kevin ?

100% agree with you as I said no good/easy answers, personally I think the top league is done either now or within the next 3 years the championship is a much more sustainable business model particuarly when they can run on the best night for their business Plymouth being a rare success this year.

I realise there would be many pitfalls with one league but for me personally, I think it would be a breath of fresh air for the sport. Glasgow versus Belle Vue, Kings Lynn versus Edinburgh, Plymouth versus Sheffield etc. I know it probably isn't going to happen but as a BSN subscriber, I have looked forward to watching the Championship meetings much more this year than the top tier. The Championship seems to be more gritty with more committed riders. The recent matches between Poole and Glasgow and Poole and Redcar were great adverts for the sport and for excitement and entertainment value easily eclipsed any of this year's GP's.  Finally an appeal to the guys in charge (and remember of the radical changes being mentioned), if there are to be two separate leagues then please do not run the Premiership with five teams only. It would surely sound the death knell, same teams/riders every other week and the playoffs would be a mockery. Let's hope they are going to spring one or two surprises and pull some major news and/or changes out of the proverbial hat!
