Such a shame. Another reason whey we need more NDL teams and track time for youth riders. Hope he does well in 2026 and will be giving him a cheer as always. Don’t need more NDL teams just better management as it’s now a place for championship second strings and so no longer a development league for new , young British novices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish that the powers that be would give some encouragement to the Midland league as well, an invaluable step for new riders.

I'd take more teams in any league to be honest. Wholly agree that the gap between Development and Championship has narrowed. More riders should be rising up from Development not coming down for what seems like easier rides. Been very poorly managed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how do you think that should happen ? They can’t magic up riders , the MDL is only just viable now and constantly fails to fill the teams with four riders. The ‘Powers that be’ need to look at grass routes and get kids on 125’s so that we have a future rider base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
