Tsunami Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 24 minutes ago, Dandelion said: I thought so too, but hasn't he moved down south now? Which makes it a little less likely... Connor Coles or Jack Smith would be nice to see... Has Kye or Lasse been signed up elsewhere in Europe? He did when he rode at Mildenhall, but I read last year he has moved further up so you never know he could be interested. Didn't he ride for awhile for the Monarchs many years ago.? He rode for them at Newcastle and he gated well, was right behind the rest, and although he didn't score a point, he was not outclassed. Knowing him from the junior days, I was impressed with his efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can still ride not as a rising star, it just widens his chances of a team place It hasn't cost him a team place. If he was on the scheme Edinburgh still couldn't use him as their rising star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justgotmecpc Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Monarch fans will get a nice surprise with the announcement of the unfortunate james Sargent's replacement.. & I still can't understand why sarj has lost his place due to the * rating system when others who have been around longer don't seem to be affected.. suppose when the powers that be who may be related to some riders.. & it's a case of JOBS for the boys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you you the BSPA press release,it state that rising stars have to be 24 onJan 2021 ,there are other caveats regarding time in the sport ect.So guess James doesn’t fit in that respect.
