Promoters do know what the race format is to be. Designs for matchday programmes and race cards are already underway - at some clubs - for the new season, so I'm sure that's not the reason for MF to delay the final announcement!
with a new name (no'League' in the title) - and a new format?!
Presumably that will allow some riders from last /previous season(s) to take part?!
I wonder if Holder/Lindgren/Hancock etc will be asked to take part? ....and will they agree?
Chris Holder's was 9.23 when his season finished - the average that he would come in on when he rides EL this or next season!
In other words if the final list had included Holder, he would have been at the top of it!
because I thought he is the first series reserve and there is always a chance that one of the top riders may not be fit or may get injured beforehand?!
Also as its the last NZ GP under the current deal and its being heavily rumoured that an Aussie round might be added, then Batch may get the wild card nomination!?
Just surmising really...!
No Elite Shield this year as there are more league fixtures!!?
Great 'double header' on Good Friday though - I guess Poole in the morning and Swindon in the evening - should be a good day!!
I wonder if Morris will be riding?
