screm Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 It would be pointless bringing in a rider to strengthen the lower end of the team, with Gappmaier and Carr at reserve we have strength there. Your weakness is covering for Alden with R/R, to ask Gappmaier to move up and score adequately would be a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Polish rider does not ride in Poland is he good enough to ride in the UK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could ride on any licence, even a British one, but if his PLZ licence is revoked not in his home country. The question I would ask, is if he is willing to give up Polish riding, the most lucrative in speedway. Should any other country even bother with him as he isn't reaching the standard required of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really know what the beef is between Polish and British authorities, however the Polish authorities insist that they have priority over their own riders, that alone has problems for any UK club in the PL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because most EL clubs ride early in the week, and PL more around the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still bonkers though whatever way you look at it, and the bigger picture is, its not helping speedway in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
