The best rider doesn't always win these. The straight 20 heat format is a better way of deciding. On this occasion he finished joint top with Cook, but would've lost on count back
Officially no, but I've been told he's making himself unavailable due to "work commitments". Apparently he's got the steaming hump because of the Andrew Silver situation. How much truth there is in it I don't know.Strange that he's managed to guest for other sides in recent days.
I dunno why people are making a fuss. Pretty clear King is under contract to race for his Polish club. This wouldn't of happened in the "good old days" because second tier riders didn't race in the Polish League. Times change.
