“I decided I did not want to do the Championship in the UK in 2024 as the travelling is too much between here and Poland every weekend, but I did want to do the Premiership still. I guess because of my illness last year I underperformed so no one made an offer or wanted to take a chance but I am willing and able to come back if needed. So with the quality in the line-up for the Ben Fund meeting I can hopefully remind a few promotors what a fully fit Erik Riss is capable of.

In his latest interview Riss says he is not racing in the Championship this year.

Erik Riss confirmed rider for the Ben Fund.

Yes but I prefer Tusk.

Workington Comets have a stand at the Classic Dirt bike show.

I think it’s £20.00 for League meetings.

Not sure of details , just got information from Facebook .

A lot down to costs , cost money to run a meeting like this. I can accept not everyone can afford to attend meetings at this price in tough economic times .

I assume from that you are not happy? GP riders in the field , a good cause to help injured riders now and in the future.

Admission : ADULTS: £23 CONCESSION: £20 STUDENTS (Age 16-18) £10 KIDS (Age 8-16): £6 Under 8s: FREE

Will Worky sign a rider on maybe a 4.5-5.0 average on a possible short term deal and then maybe make team changes if necessary .

The Championship points limit will increase by 0.5 each month from May 1, taking the limit up to 40 – ie. May 1, 38.50; June 1, 39.00; July 1, 39.50; August 1, 40.00.

No Dan Bewley on a 6.25 average after reduction .

Freddie Lindgren added to the line up.

I think at this stage if Claus Vissing was available and within the budget he would have been signed , so cannot see why we would break the bank to sign him now.

Yes.

Slightly off topic , I started watching at Workington in the late 70,s but struggle to remember too much , apart from the smell, the speed, walking round to the wee pie hut for pie and oxo. The sparse crowds of three to four hundred, the battering at home , happy days Worky riders , the great Brian Havelock, Rob Maxfield, Andy Margarson, Mark Dickinson etc.

Lets hope the 600 figure can be achieved, we did have some good attendances at the start of the season and against Belle Vue I recall was a very good crowd but there were some meetings when attendances were not so good. Hopefully with the Comets competing in the Championship there will be lots of travelling fans coming along , I know even last season there were many who came from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Redcar etc.

No, intentional.

I can categorically say without fear of contraception that I have no idea who the final rider is.

Agree.

Hmmm.

A N Other.

Thats so last year
