Is not the case that he can ride in any State Championship though.So he can choose which is the easier option?

I think the Aussies can make it up as they go along!  There are certainly some 'easier' states to enable qualification.

Pretty much, including appearances from the likes of Sam Hagon. As far as past seasons go there has been no impediment to entering more than one state. I think one year a Tasmanian Championship was held [in Victoria] purely to manufacture work permit places.

Plus I think the Aussies will assist all they can in trying to help one of arguably their biggest young speedway talents in a good few years develop his obvious talent in the UK.

Also to back track a little.

I think Tate Zischke (20) and Mitch Mcdiarmid (17) are other promising Aussie talents.

Was gutted when Poole didn't sign Darcy prodigy Tate in 2023. Unfortunately a serious injury kept him out of UK in 2023 and a more serious one in 2024 curtailed his undoubted talent. Until his second one he was av 7.70 incl BP from just 12 meetings in his first UK season with Worky. I think Darcy Ward felt the Workington track was more suitable being more open for his first season hence why he started there.

Mcdarmid has done well for a turned 17 in March in his first UK season.

Still a big fan of Ziscke and would love to see him at Poole still on his arguably low 5.76 when the guy was rediscovering his form & Fitness after his potential career ending injury in his first match for B.Vue in 2024. Most of the Worky fans on the forum think he will be back there though for 2026.

Fingers crossed we get Bailey as I read that Middlo has plenty of accommodation for riders who want to lodge/board there. Just like both Cook's did.

A bit rude, 'butt'?. I thought his name is Tate Zischke?! Very odd not knowing the name of your own rider.

McDairmaid is a talent, not much hype over him though.

He was around the Poole pits quite a bit during the various play-offs etc. But then so was Luke Killeen!!😉

Would love to have Mcdiarmid at Poole.

Considering this guy was 17 in March and his first season in UK at Poole Stadium alone he scored a 4 ride av of 6.77 or 7.38 incl bp from 3 matches and 13 rides. Very impressive for a 17 year old in his first season.

His GSA is only 5.18 and he rode in POL U24 Lge and finished runners up with Zischke in the Son FIM U21 World team Champ.

Definitely got a future in the sport.

That's because Mitch is good friends with Will Cairns. And also him and Luke stay with Laura's parents when they are in England and as she was working for BSN so they prob just travelled down with her.
