I would imagine they are waiting for all rider contracts to be signed before they announce, that would be my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen it but just from reading the description on updates it sounded like a nothing fall... and he was stuck under the air fence. Another case of a rider ending up under the air fence, why is this still happening some 20 years after their introduction 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Wright didn't want Prem AFAIK, Iversen very much on Northampton's radar and that may still be the case despite his fall. Smektala also in the frame as well as others already mentioned on the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a lot nearer than Coventry, Peterborough and Wolverhampton! From what I remember of Elfield Park and going there was that although the viewing areas around the track were elevated, the track itself was pants!

For example how many injuries have been caused by a rider bouncing off an air bag into the path of another rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most air fence injuries are caused by the bike going in before the rider and lifting the fence off the floor and then the rider going under it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there was going to be an investigation, in Poland, after DJ Woffy's crash last year... don't know if anything ever came of it?

Marky_Mark Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Charles wasn’t in the Northampton line up but as others have said Iversen was definitely in the plans so they’ll need to find a replacement now, Lidsey and Klindt have signed contracts as far as I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
