Personally I wouldn't touch him with the proverbial bargepole. Too much outside garbage attached. There can't be many riders given a testimonial then sacked a little over two month later.

That's sensible, as if it wasn't, a team could bring in say a former Premier rider and then that would be be clamped down on and the existing rule installed to stop it happening again. Rules usually have a good reason behind them. Why does every rule have to be explained to new people in the sport anyway. It tends to be just passing on peoples prejudices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Those are the normal rules but as its a challenge any man or his dog could ride (with the correct licences of course). Im guessing running as a "Championship" level challenge allowed for the non brits to take part despite the meeting standard being far from CL level.

It was just a generalisation. Some new people might want some rules explaining but not all. It was a random comment by me not really having a direct bearing at all with a guest being in some other teams 1-7. Just me being sick of rule changes every year.
