Presumably if its classed as international duty then a facility is granted.If so with the strength in depth that should be no problem for the odd meeting.
Fair play if its a stipulation from the NZ govt.I wasnt aware of that.I suppose it is rather naive to expect the sporting side of matters to be more important than money and politics in this day and age.
If the organisers need Bunyan to boost ticket sales then Id be very worried.If 'a name' is needed then ask Ivan to come out to play for the day.That would sell more tickets and wouldnt devalue the competition any more.
Totally agree. There have been some stupid decisions made by those running Speedway over the years but this ranks right up there! May as well just have three riders in 5 heats!
On a slight tangent. How about the 'tag tunes' for each of this years team after heat wins etc. What should be used? For Matt I suggest "Wild Thing" Any other suggestions?
Although he has limited Speedway experience he is a mature racer who knows how to win.I would think he is used to pressure as a multi dirt track champion.of course time will tell.
