Not fair. 

He didn't agree to riding the full season.

Maybe ask the promotion to confirm or deny if MJJ was on a short term contract

I remember Adam Ellis getting a load of flack when he also had a short term contract and it was insinuated then that he had walked out when it was not the case. 
looks like the very same situation to me

He crashed out in his first heat in British under 21 final, through no fault of his own, result of a domino effect

Broken scaphoid for Dan T, Danyon Hume guests

In Birmingham's own statement it says

Said Jepsen Jensen: “After a few days of reflection, I’ve made a difficult but necessary decision – I will no longer continue racing in the UK.

“From the beginning, the club knew I was going to give it a try and see where it goes.'

On paper Birmingham could win this, but whenever I think they have a chance they do the exact opposite.

What sort of paper is that.

The thing is ….. you don’t race on paper.

On paper is comparing Brummie's home averages against Witches' away averages, or overall of you haven't ridden enough (Zagar, Castagna, Hume).

Birmingham    
Michael J Jensen r/r
Keynan Rew 7.08
Tobiasz Musielak 7.00
Matej Zagar 6.22
Jonas Jeppesen 5.00
Paco Castagna 4.50
Jason Edwards 4.33
Total 34.13

Ipswich
Jason Doyle r/r
Emil Sayfutdinov 6.53
Tom Brennan 6.12
Danny King 5.33
Adam Ellis 5.00
Jordan Jenkins 4.50
Danyon Hume 1.85
Total 29.33

As well as having a higher total, Birmingham have stronger r/r cover, plus a stronger reserve who could take extra outings.

I know, that's why I said Birmingham could win this. Not that they would win.

Every time Birmingham looked stronger last season, which wasn't often granted, they managed to put on an awful display.
