Recently read a book about speedway - well to be more accurate it was about the 'covid 19' wrecked season. It's a great book called 'NO BREAKS' - A LOST SEASON IN BRITISH SPEEDWAY. The many stories about speedway's struggle in 2020 are captivating to say the least. However one story reflecting on a rider's financial woes had me shocked to say the least. The author seems to be friend of a rider, I wont say name but initials are NK - no not NKI. and this rider reckons his covid19 hit income was a disaster. I quote the author. "He tells me he reckons his income is down by a considerable amount, about £100,000 less than he'd have expected had the season gone normally". I mean blimey if he's down by £100,000 what on earth was his usual earnings? Not a GP regular either. So reading that I have now more than ever an inbuilt sympathy for the promoters of this steadily declining sport. Buy this book most will enjoy it. -

Given that there is unlikely to be any home based rider likely to be available to replace the departed 6.00, maybe we should be looking at another Scandanavian rider ( if not already fully committed ). There may be others of course but examples such as Esben Hjerrild, Casper Henriksson and Rasmus Karlsson would probably fit into the 6.00 category, leaving some points over for a #7 i.e. when the new averages are released ? -
