IainB Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) That's the Manchester wild cards sorted at least, he'll get them both if he starts the season well I'd have thought Edited 15 hours ago by IainB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago A mature decision I would suggest... Fair play to him.... Laguta as the WC surely... If the GP's want to have credibility... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago The conspiracy theorist in me says woffinden was never going to ride but to put a Ukrainian straight in to the line up was a too obvious bit of virtue signalling so do it by the back door 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How stupid would that be. An opinion I can’t agree with. Jack Holder, Kurtz, Bewley and maybe even Fricke are probably better than Sayfutdinov and demonstrably better than Laguta….IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago (edited) Could have been Luke Becker as the replacement if America hadn't started an illegal war with Iran 😂 ... I presume the FIM will be banning all American and Israeli riders from all of their events 🤔 Edited 10 hours ago by IainB 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
