Expand Would have thought so. Or else no one would do it. The No.8 is only going to get a ride if the Rising Star is injured or missing. Surely no one is going to turn down a season of Championship or NL just to hang around on the off-chance of the RS getting injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with Mulford already signed up, it’s not fair to block him from riding NL when he’s only done 1 season and still has things to learn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Lion Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Premiership number 8’s can ride NDL. Dan Thompson will ride with Joe in the NDL. Rather predictably only 4 of the 2021 team are returning & 3 new signings . 1 has Championship experience . 1 has NDL experience & the other has been impressive at the practise days & youth racing so is handed his chance to impress.

Expand Hugely important. Only got to look at the brits at CL to see that the vast majority came through MDL and NL. Today sought after riders like Hume, Thomas and Mountain served thier time setting up in the rough end of the pits and having countless meetings abandoned because they simply were an inconvenience to some. Todays annoying, turn up just for the laps riders may well be tomorrow's team saviours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Here's a team that allows Mickie Simpson to start at reserve. Leicester 2022?

I personally think the leagues are vital for riders of all ages to develop and hone their skill sets and see if they are prepared for the rigours of full league racing, unless it starts to get further backing from the powers that be i fear the sport in general will decline further.
