Rider insurance (or lack thereof)
IainB replied to Dave_minall's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Not sure where I got Β£0.30 a race from π€·ββοΈ But a fiver a race works out around Β£500 over the course of a 24 match season. But whatever it was, I assume it was a flat rate whatever your ability? Meaning the better riders subsided the less experienced riders? Seems a bit daft for the SCB to not be doing it anymore, they could even have skimmed Β£0.10 per race as an admin/arrangement fee. -

IainB replied to Dave_minall's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Question: If in previous years riders were being deducted Β£0.30 per race was this a flat rate per rider covered under an agreement covering the whole league? If that is no longer the case and riders are responsible for their own insurance will lesser experienced riders be paying a higher premium than more accomplished riders? That's actually 2 questions... π€ -
Yes, just received my notification of today's meeting π

As an aside, from memory, Kylie Howarth was the only rider to come round for applause from the crowd after his heat 7 victory, great crowd engagement? -

There was some good close racing last night, Jack Holder looked like a World Champion when passing Masters and then Morris but strangely was a pretty distant 3rd in heat 13... even Drew Kemp made a pass! -

Special mention to Joe Thompson, looked like he was going to pick up his scoring drought where he left off last season early on at Belle Vue but then since has showed some real signs of progress ππ -

... In a sport that is so scared of jeopardy it's even removed it from the KO Cup! -

Kemp pulled back from the tapes in heat 12 just as the 2 minutes counted down... could have easily gone for that! -

Rowe jumped at the start, the tapes went up and then Dougy shed a chain, it then took Jarvis Cockup until the other 3 were coming out of the 2nd bend to stop the race! Not right for me, you're right though, probably covered under the green light being on. 012.1.18 Re-Run A rider who, after the green light was illuminated, failed to start, retired from,was not proceeding under power when the heat was stopped or is disqualified from a heat that is ordered to be re-run shall be ineligible to take part in the re-run and shall not be replaced. -
