A bit surprised nobody has been on here yet to report Beau Bailey's win in the Victoria State Title today??!
So he'll get a visa no problem, now lets wait and see how much he thinks he deserves....!?
Newsquest own the Local Echo. I agree people don't necessarily buy the printed copy in huge numbers any more, but all these papers are online too! Links with all local/regional sports journos have to be continuously nurtured.
TV media need to be sent short reels of race action and tik tok rider interviews, not just as a one-off but every week.
I think many promotions will leave their final couple of rider announcements until later, just in case the points limit changes on 6th January.
Of course if the GP-level riders all quit the Premiership as Brady Kurtz suggests might be a possibility and they get places in Sweden and Denmark then that will free-up a few other riders who might then be looking for a place in UK.
At the end of the day it'll all come down to cost and what clubs are prepared to pay.
