PHILIPRISING Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 HAD a long chat with Chris about his visa issue in Warsaw. The simple fact is that the Home Office have possession off his passport, which means he cannot even visit the UK to see his son, and if a Russian billionaire cannot get an answer you get some idea of the problem. Only Chris can talk to the HO but they simply tell him that it is in hand.There is a feeling that the recent Windruss controversy is causing havoc at the HO but in my opinion its a nonsense. Chris may not be everyone's favourite (one of mine however) but here is a rider who wants to race here and is being prevented from doing so by red tape. But shaking the tree to try and get some answers will only result in him being put at the back of the queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 How long do you wait though? Averages are changing soon so surely in next few weeks we need a permanent rider in that position whether it be Chris or someone else. Last season we sacrificed the season for one rider, or we going to do it again this season? I know the circumstances are different but the result will end up being the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattfordfan Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Couple of team changes are coming before Monday. Piotr Pawlicki could be one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny and The Doctors ‘mind game’ posts allude to much more than the usual red tape barriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he wanted to come here, doubt Leszno would allow it. They don't pay their star riders hundreds of thousands of zlotys to have them come over here and get injured on our awful tracks.

ReadingRacer2017 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Poole should just right this season off. Why bother making changes now. Ford is probably on the verge of throwing in the towel soon anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you were Gater 1, and poor Darcy Ward had his terrible injury, you admitted on here you had multiple aliases.

Just people guessing and guessing wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
