But if I don't sign on I cannot compete in the meeting so I will be in breach of fim rules and as the fim championship events superseded other fixtures I have no choice.
As I've said it has nothing to do with practice it is because I would 100% miss sign on and more than likely the start of the meeting.
To be honest you get very little give with the fim, I looked at that flight and if there was any hold up in would miss the meeting so I wasn't worth the risk. The ACU also said if I rode on Friday, they themselves would ban me by lifting my licence as the risk was too great.
This was all done correctly through the ACU, my promotion and the Bspa, there is no smoke and mirrors, the only person who loses is myself as I lose a meetings wages, especially as I'm at reserve
