Another name to add to the mix...

This morning Sportowefakty have published an interview with Kim Nilsson who says he is seriously considering racing in the UK next season.

Seems like a signing Eastbourne would make imo.

Can't imagine any top end Club signing Kim on a inflated assessed averge imo.

sounds like bewley wasnt planning on racing uk next season, and lamberts 

Must confess, I am non plussed as to the end game for this rule re UK licenses...

Several UK riders down the years have ridden on "foreign licences", Wigg, Cox and Smith being three that come to mind immediately...

Lambert is living in Poland, has a Polish wife, and a child on the way, so could tick a few boxes for citizenship, particularly if his child is "Polish". (Torun would be pleased if he was a "home rider" I am sure), so maybe him getting a Polish licence wouldn't be too difficult, (or a German one!)..

I am not sure the UK promoters realise that many "top riders" nowadays, don't need to ride several times a week anymore..

If you are getting a £250k signing fee and £2,500 a point, (that and more for the "true elite"), then riding one meeting every weekend in Poland and, (maybe) topping up your income on Tuesday in Sweden, is maybe enough??

Logistically the UK brings its own challenges with equipment needed over here, plus a mechanic, storage, flights etc, so not sure putting barriers up in any way shape or form is a great plan..
