Not much of a commitment if thats all he was doing anyway. I guess he's assuming there will be no SGP series requiring him to travel outside Poland and then quarantine 14 days to get back in each time?!

TBF I'd say uprooting your family and moving to a foreign country is a fairly big commitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is moving to Poland to live there during the season, doing a 14 day self isolation before he can start a bike and he will take a huge pay cut.

He was only going to do Poland + GP anyway so it isn't the same as if Nicki would have moved to Poland he would have to leave his kids and family behind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Svemo just announced that all previously approved permits for Swedish riders in Poland have been revoked/declared invalid by Svemo to make sure that the Swedish riders will be available in Sweden if/when the Swedish league season starts. This only applies as long as the borders are closed/quarantine is needed. If/when travel restrictions within Europe are being lifted the Swedish riders will again be allowed to race in Poland. It only applies to riders who contract with a Swedish club to rider in the Swedish leagues. Svemo has taken decision after consulting the Swedish riders and the Swedish clubs. https://www.svemo.se/Nyheter/Speedway/svenskaspeedwayforaresutfardadestarttillstandipolenogiltigforklaras Edited May 1, 2020 by Ghostwalker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
