Missed 2 Plymouth meetings to go and not ride in Poland until the following day

It isn't even funny, its absolutely pathetic and another reason why the sport is taking as a joke these days.    the sport is on its ar"e in the Uk and you have pillocks like Schroek still in a job with pathetic things like that.     

What's Klindt done wrong??

He should have accepted the booking, could have had 9 rides then [8 in practice because ht 9 might have been a bit tricky]

Here's a breakdown of strategies: 1. Cultivate Media Relationships:  * Identify Key Journalists: Research and identify journalists, reporters, and broadcasters who cover motorsports, local news, and sports.

Exclusive content is highly valued.  * Be a Reliable Source: Provide accurate information, meet deadlines, and be responsive to media inquiries. Build a reputation as a trustworthy and helpful contact.  * Attend Events: Be present at races and other motorsport events. This provides opportunities for face-to-face networking with media representatives. 2.
