Dad: hush child, someone your grandpa used to wink over.

Did you mean ‘wink’ or is that a typo!😂😂

She looked a bit better back then I admit. Today’s version is somewhat different. Wonder if Dean climbed on after this shoot… hope the seat was comfy .

Rumours are the seat went missing when she straddled it

In the grand scheme of things yesterdays bit of misguided publicity is no big deal really,the sport has bigger issues to worry about and it got the sport in the papers today and for good or bad it got tongues wagging all over the sport, looking back it’s quite funny really and in a strange way I’m sort of looking forward for who is the next former celebrity to get dragged out to show their closet love of our wonderful sport, maybe Rob Godfrey might even be able to remember the name of the next one

Exactly what I said yesterday.

£27 well spent because it got people talking.

Just the saddle? 

I believe someone told her it was an "upright"...

I'm thinking Sam Fox and best pairs very apt.

Is it not logical to suggest the remaining 'top' riders will be in the lifeboats as the ship goes down. Thereby, forcing one league next year regardless? After all 16 league fixtures with arguably a dwindling fan base isn't conducive long term so more ' top ' riders will plan ahead.

I think the problem is as other have mentioned the 20-30 double uppers in the prem will make more money in the current system than say one big league at championship pay rates so they won't be keen. Again another example of the sport boxing itself in so the riders dictate for the UK unattractive race nights for some clubs and do rider shortage they can call more shots even bang average riders.
