Up to you if you choose to believe him or not. I’m just quoting what the bloke said. 
 

I wouldn’t have thought an offer from Belle Vue would have been forthcoming anyway. They already had their top two. 

I could be wrong but I thought Doyle announced he wouldn’t be racing in this country well before Kurtz and Bewley were announced. And he’s never really been a one club man has he . Like Danny King etc … and Bomber 😁

Yes his three year work visa expired and it was apparently very expensive to renew. He done the three years of his visa, won medals in both the Cup and Premiership, so things all came to a natural end. 

The perfect example of an overseas rider that adds something to UK Speedway, and will be greatly missed..

Unlike so many overseas journeymen down the years, and still the same today, who will hardly be noticed, never mind missed...

Yet will have blocked medium to long term UK rider development...

Edit. His Heat 15 at the NSS a few years ago, with Doyle, Kurtz and Bewley, when Ipswich knocked the Aces out of the PO's, was one of the best races I have ever seen in Team Speedway..

Think he lives near Norwich so Ipswich suits him down to the ground - unless there was significantly more money he'd not want to join BV.

Doyle was never getting a contract offer from Belle Vue. Kurtz and Bewley were always going to be there and they’d have made their availability quite clear early on.

He’d made a home here for sure. People will always be a bit suspicious when riders say they won’t ride anywhere else though. We all know money talks. 
 

Pretty sure we’d have been his priority though. Still think we might see him later in the season…

He was fantastic wasn’t he? Had an aura, the X factor. His form dipped in his final year here by his high standards but it wasn’t through lack of effort or commitment. 
 

I’m sure I wasn’t alone when he first signed wondering how many meetings he’d miss and how much effort would he put in, but I needn’t have been concerned!

Class act.

Unfortunately the 1-6 is true.

Forum member has posted a reply from facebook in regards to the BSN PREM Pass and TV rights for the forthcoming season.

Safe to say that the BSPL are in a hole that they can't get out of this time.
