British Speedway do not have 12 riders under the age of 21 that are going to be competitive, no Poles are coming our way, I guess a few Swedes may, but Sweden hasn't produced a decent rider for a long time. Danes will go to Poland and it is they that seem to have the best production line. Hoping Lemon can pull a Beau Bailey out the bag. Speedway forum subscription If you really think the Witches team with Bewley & Doyle consuming 17+ of your 37 points and then King & Cairns consuming a further 11. You need to go look at the averages, you are left with nothing viable to choose from for 2 reasonable riders I don't know who'd sign Lambert on 9.4ish average but he has to ride in the UK if he wants to represent us on the world stage. AFAIK. I'd hope he signs for Kings Lynn or Northampton. Nilsson (GP Rider) & Riss (Current Long Track Champion) apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau Bailey is already signed up in Poland, Sweden and Denmark for '27 so cannot ride in Britain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And isn't "internationally established" yet... Not sure too many U21 overseas riders would match that criteria either.. "Hello Government, to keep Poland happy, we need to have two U21 riders per team in our league, so we need to bring over up to six foreign riders".. "Why? Have you not got more than six U21 riders without jobs.?"... "Yes".. "Well use them then!!"... Edited 1 hour ago by mikebv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So bspa have introduced a new u21 rule that basically no Europeans will eligible for anyway unless they come and live here too 🤷♂️😂 I should be shocked but erm well… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it has not been announced does not mean he is not back at Sheffield, most would be shocked if he left Sheffield despite his poor performance in the play off final.

Nationality goes with your passport and the erroneous statement by BSPL/SCB has now (quietly) disappeared. And, as he has just signed to ride in Denmark, then I can’t see how he can ride in UK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
