On bspa site it says he wasnt well with an illness guess we will never know , but if its personel who are we to judge .

Quite possible, but I've been to other meetings where he's been ill and my perception is that he does suffer a lot with illness compared to other riders.  The Wright drop out was obviously mandatory following concussion and Nicholls also has a mandatory ban for a non-speedway related injury.  Really disappointing for the fans when these things happen as we all have conspiracy theories which may or may not be true but it's always the fans that are the losers.

I saw this meme on Twitter, thought it quite nicely sums up British Speedway

The budget didn't stretch, either, to meeting-specific race jackets (though I see the British Final managed some). The mostly bodged 1-18 numbers attached to the rear of the individual team kevlars on display at Owlerton were laughable. They screamed 'small time'.

It never does.  I seriously can't remember the PLRC having proper race jackets - ever.

Have a care. You can't expect Ellis Perks to ride in 3 major championships on consecutive days :P

The way the sport is promoted in this country  i doubt if there will be many riders of the calibre of the Polish league riding here soon

Probably in their eyes more cost effective to be owed £2-3K per meeting by your Polish club than £500-£750 by your British one
