When I spoke to Lebedevs after the Riga GP he really didn't seem keen on riding in the UK. Would Thorssell fit? Or has he already signed up for Poland/Sweden and Denmark?  What about Basso? Would Tarasenko be interested in the UK again? 

With similar brainpower!!

Yes I find it very baffling. Also I would be interested to know what the legal advice was that they received as it's all very vague. Maybe worth putting in a freedom of information request?

Trigger was also the horse of Roy Rogers.

Yes thanks. I did see that when it was uploaded on Jan 3. As you said, it really needs a trained eye to see whether there was enough in it to justify the hastily arranged extraordinary meeting, let alone overturning the initial planning rejection? I think that will be down to the local councillors because Peterborough Speedway's representatives have had enough fighting the planning system and additionally the totally unhelpful, self interested PCC as well?

Not unless 10.2.2 is rewritten.  Otherwise is absolutely certain he will be 8.00 "Any rider who has been a GP rider for two consecutive seasons within the last five" => 8.00.
