As the assumption is that this is assumed, you can therefore assume that the assumption is anything you assume it to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either Thomas has opted out and will feature in the team on his own merits and make his own deal but Brum will need another 1/2/3 star rider depending on team building or the list is wrong and the BSPL have made a fist of the press release.....both equally as likely but i hope for Jack its the former. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hobbit Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Laurence Rogers has posted on the Brummies forum that the list issued is incomplete snd that there are several riders who are on the list but have not been included on the press release for some reason. Laurence had confirmed jack Thomas is on the list snd is the Brummies rising star rider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And still they get it wrong :-( For communication to work, it has to be "heard" and it has to be "right" - failures on both accounts here by the looks of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's probably an invitation/opportunity for him to think about and either accept or reject. Shows he hasn't been forgot about.

I’m sure that any ex rider offered all of that ( over fifteen grands worth of kit there ) would seriously think of making a comeback.As talented as he might have appeared at one point you sure someone would offer that to a youngster who’s walked away from the sport twice already ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to Bridger. But seriously JPB had talent but also had too much smoke blown up him too early, family rifts, social distractions and poor preparations meant that once attempts to step up to the higher levels came along it was already slipping away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct! Incredibly natural on a bike....I'm sure B'ham fans would love to see him back in action! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
