Agreed, see if Kemp or Brennan want it and give experience to a rider who will learn from it. We have no chance of winning without Tai. Calls for Harris to go are baffling. 

Would think Anders Rowe would get a chance before Kemp and Brennan

Has Rowe been active this season? Can’t recall seeing his name much if at all in the meetings that have been staged. Brennan (according to averages) is the best of the three. Kemp did well in the British Final, is British Under-19 champion and has been racing as regularly as possible at the moment at home and in Europe. Would say for that reason alone Kemp and Brennan are better picks than Rowe right now.

Rowe has based himself in Poland from the end of July riding for Rawicz in div 2 - so he has been getting plenty of practice and meetings.

Didn’t realise that. Makes sense why he hasn’t figured over here then. Get them all in and around the event, the experience will be valuable for them all, would be wasted on a Lawson or a Harris.

No chance of Woffinden riding.

Has he said that? I know it has to be a real outside chance, especially as he has called an end to his Polish season. But he knows, as we do, that even an underpar Tai is better than no Tai at all.

Googl;e translation of Sportowefakty article

Tai Woffinden had to undergo a complex operation because he suffered a multiple fracture of the metacarpus. It was conducted by Dr. Adam Domanasiewicz. He is a world-renowned doctor specializing in hand surgery.

. For us, it was not a difficult operation, but it was complex, because the bone was broken in several places

 Rehabilitation is a very individual matter. At the moment, I can say that the union will continue for about six weeks. After this time, the competitor will be able to start his activity. I don't know exactly when it will return to full load. A control photo will be taken next week, another two weeks from now, and another six weeks after the surgery.

Thanks R&R. Doesn't sound very likely that he will be riding, to say the least.

Mind you, I still vivedly carry the memory of Kenny Carter being lifted onto his bike with his leg in the longest cast I've ever seen.

sure i've seen Kylmakorpi ride with a Sweden race jacket in a GP qualifier and he has since ridden for Finland in SON

During a year he can only have one FIM license. That can change year to year though. 
 

When Kylmä was in the U21’s early 2k, he was Svemo rider in the finals from memory. Since 2003 when he qualified for the gp I’m close to bet that his FIM license said SML every year until he quit.

he will not be riding for russia end of simple 

 

That may be. But you said he can't, which just because he has another licence doesn't disqualify him. Maybe if you post precisely, then we might understand. If it is his decision that he doesn't want to then just say so

Think Ferjan might have had a Hungarian licence, but supposedly went to ride for them thinking a passport was going to turn up. It didn't and he had to wait another year or two before he could ride for Hungary

Which license does he have then from Poland/PZM? answer please.

If it's nationality that is required, can we have Crump for Woffinden?

more than you numpty come back when he is riding for russia otherwise don't bother :nono:

  • So you DO know! Bugger all that is... :lol:

I have no problem with that. But people quoting that as a fact irritates me quite a bit. People not knowing or understanding quoting people who dont know winds me up big time. Thats my problem... ;)
