Isn't the 8% season reduction only applicable to British riders who were in the Championship? If so, then it should apply to the likes of Ablitt, who didn't ride Championship in 2025 partly due to injury.

Not the point of the rule at all, rule is for guys who’ve been left out for one reason or another over the last few years, not for guys like Albitt who refused team spots last year.

He may have refused a team spot because what was on offer was very poor. Riders shouldn't be penalised for refusing poor deals.

But in this case it’s cause he didn’t want to travel that far nothing to do with what he got offered. 
 

The whole point is the rule is corruption by the guy in charge once again. Knew the second it was announced you knew which team it would affect right away.

Maybe if the deal was more attractive the distance would be a issue. It's only 50% of the fixtures for home meetings

Bowtell has turned down Scunny because he didn't want to travel according to Rob Godfrey on 360 podcast this week.
