Having read the article myself, I’d agree with others here rather than Chris Louis. There can be no doubt what Hawkins is saying and being quoted as saying. Only other explanation is Louis and Hawkins are not communicating and Hawkins is in the dark as much as the fans..

In my opinion it’ll be Chris holder, he’s had trouble with the authorities in the last couple of years regarding visas and they all just want to have that visa absolutely guaranteed before they release the news he’s our 7th and final team rider, if this comes to fruition I’ll be happy with the team and think we’ll be right in there amongst them

Personally I don't think it will be Chris Holder, otherwise he would of beannounced by now.

Why? The tweet from Louis says that the rider wants to get his affairs in order before being announced so it could easily be him.,

It could be Jason Crump.  Now that would be interesting against Nicki Pedersen but then again it could be Jarek. Who knows but at least they have a six man team that most would be happy with and support, so whoever the number seven announcement is it will be a bonus. My money is on JL or JD or possibly Tony coming out of retirement. Is it not time to have a touring side made up of former GP riders to whoop these so called whipper snappers. Oh well dream on with fond memories of how good weekly racing use to be.

Well if it is him that could be interesting with Sheffield meetings andNicki, there not exactly mates. 

Coming into this late, but if a tweet mentions getting affairs in order, that fits Holder's situation down to a t as i'm sure you know..  whether he gets clearance or not i wouldn't be too sure.  Would be nice seeing him and Nicki clash again tho.

All the disbelief.....why wouldant it be holder....

Hes not a gp rider.....

He is well sponsored by the main sponsor....

And if the visa stuff doesn't get sorted they have another rider there waiting 

Which I think you would be more than happy with.....

Who is the other rider if its not Holder?

Yes i agree it could fire up both riders but Crumpy won't be there to calm Holder down this time!

As  Holders ban would not have lasted this long he was banned in 2017. more like April 2018.or 2019 at the most. It cantl be the reason.

I understand that!! His ban would have been til the April of the year following the offence.

BUT as far as applying successfully for a work visa, some UK visa applications have a 2-year restriction if various application deadlines have been missed or something was wrong with the original paperwork?!  Not sure if or how it may have affected the situation...?
