Neila Posted June 18, 2025 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2025 Aston has/had talent but seems to have lost confidence or something else going on, I can remember when he disappeared !!! from worky a couple of years ago . At the moment needs time to get things together then start slowly, not riding in premiership and cut down on trips abroad, until he gets his mojo back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted June 22, 2025 Report Share Posted June 22, 2025 Even if Bowes is due to miss a lot of matches riding in Poland, I wouldn't be in a rush to replace him, they're probably stronger when he's not there. Get a 5.00 guest when he's averaging below that or r/r of Zischke Etheridge & 2 rides from Hook / Foord. Also the longer it takes him to get a new average, the longer Hook stays at reserve, which benefits the team. Speedway can be a strange sport when injuries / missing riders can strengthen a team and there can be no advantage to making replacements when a rider is out for the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of willing participants who pay to ride and are ready to race ahead of time. Might not be quite as entertaining but certainly a stronger operating model. To be fair there used to be a good amount of amateur speedway meetings that would take place up and down the country but they have been weaseled down one by one.

Think one of the biggest problems is speedway machinery. Even at amateur level it's either expensive especially to maintain or dreadfully unreliable. If you've a product that's more or less moto cross based machinery, most will do season after season with reasonably priced routine maintenance.
