BIRMINGHAM have added Chris Roynon to their track team for 2020.

 

 

 

The former rider and promoter will advise and assist currant track curators Onny Butler and Mick Coleman at Perry Barr.

 

 

 

Roynon has a wealth of experience and having moved back to the Midlands from Cornwall last year he was a regular at Birmingham near the end of the 2019 season.

 

 

 

The father of former Brummie Adam Roynon has known team boss Laurence Rogers for a long time and worked with him at Plymouth .

 

 

 

Rogers believes his addition to the Perry Barr backroom staff is important. “Chris knows all about track preparation and that will be a bonus to Onny and Mick," he said.

 

 

 

"He is loaning us a blade that he has bought that will be of great benefit to us in track work and has a tractor we can use if we need it too.

 

 

 

"With the new shale we sourced last year the track prep team are getting down to getting the Perry Barr circuit in tip-top condition for the new season.

 

 

 

"His addition to the team is important and a big bonus to us .”

 

 

 

A good addition to the team.

Does anyone know the situation regarding Paco Castagna, bearing in mind all that's going on in Italy with Coronavirus? 

is he "locked down"?  Are the Brummies going to risk flying him to the UK in and out of a Coronavirus hotspot?

Will the Brummies get "a facility" if he can't fulfil his obligations?

According to some Facebook posts it would seem that Paco is in the UK  preparing for the season and has been here for a few days at least.

Who knows what is going to happen by the start of the season, whenever that may be regarding rider movements .

I saw the post that he was back in the UK "for a week", dated 21st February.

I asked the question on Facebook, but no answer.

Seems like an opportunity for the club to make a statement on the clubs website....build a bit of publicity and momentum for the start of the season???

Press and practice just 3 weeks away!?
