The sport isn't exactly thriving,crowds certainly don't make the GP"s an attractive proposition for Major Sponsers,Eurosport helps in this respect but wonder how much money the sport is actually attracting.
I fail to see your point,the event has 16 riders who want too ride in the Championship and are there by qualification.Emil is not being denied the chance he just does not want to compete.there will be true World Champ.
Wilko had a great season at Berwick a few years back but he has a very unconventional style of racing which leads to his crashes IMO,the leg trail into the bends He looks like he is out of control(which he isn't) but if something happens in front of him he has to lay it down or crash.Entertainer though.
Agree they are meant to be professional sportsman so if they are changing clubs ect they should make sure there are no obstructions or rule changes regarding things like visas.It does seem a bit harsh but if that is the ruling tough.
I really hope this happens as the last few seasons with Health and Safety and protocols to be adhered regarding rider that are injured (rightly so) these delays totally kill the meetings and any atmosphere,even the most diehard fans must despair at the delays.The first aid room that was created last season did not seem to make any difference in respect of shortening the waiting time if arider was injured.
I heard the same rumour at the end of last season,but if it was anything serious you think it would be out by now.Interesting that he did not ride in Aus in the winter though.
