Those top riders will all leave slowly but surely over the winter Brady Kurtz isn’t going to ride in England if the competition isn’t top notch why would he risk injury in a lesser league. Once one big name goes the rest will follow I’m sure if Kurtz was being paid the same he wouldn’t worry about the standard - he might even enjoy it like Ivan Mauger did years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Simmo pulled a stroke and managed to drop down into the old second division with Hackney I've a feeling he ended up a nigh eleven point average and pretty much achieved it with his eyes closed.

But in those days it was dropping down a standard, today if one league merged into championship and the riders like fricke,Douglas etc all raced in it too Kurtz would still be racing against the same riders from this season, it’s only premier in name, not in quality 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the 'stars' would drop into it on a merger anyway so it is rather a mute point 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
