PhilTheAce Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Becker not been announced and some wolves fans are hearing talk of him heading belle Vue way.

I've heard nothing from the aces side of things. Only from a few wolves fans. While I'd be happy with becker, Hope we go bigger than him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely that a sponsor could be found to provide £2k+ per point aka Poland. However matching Swedish pay rates (& paying them) is far more likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's another rumour to get your teeth into He may not have been announced but the Wolves team has been finalised weeks ago, expect Becker and Morris to be the final 2. Will be a major surprise if not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on "mates rates" I would imagine any top 10 rider will be looking at a minimum £100k for 20 matches.. Sweden will be offering less matches so maybe a few could be enticed over with that level of contract? They do though have a league sponsor so presumably bump up their payments using this money so maybe not a huge overall difference for riding less matches? So many top riders seem pleased to just run three times a week in Poland, Sweden and Denmark, and have four days off.. Presumably happy with their lot, with it being heavily funded by their Polish contract.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So although the rest in-between meetings may appear beneficial some riders (as per Jason D) prefer to be busier than that on their bikes racing. which of course the UK can provide for.

If an extremely wealthy Russian business man, who happened to love Speedway and lived in leafy Cheshire, wanted to sponsor his business through Belle Vue and bring A Laguta to the club. It is possible, it's 99.9999% probable that it won't happen. but it could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljriley90 Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 For anyone interested ive knocked together a list of riders and their commitments for 2022 Covers gb, denmark, poland and sweden Might just give people a bit of insigght as to whom belle vue could pick up at reserve and as the second second string as well as that all important third heat leader Click the photo links (note could be a couple of errors or omissions https://ibb.co/mbNH44Hhttps://ibb.co/f22gsT6https://ibb.co/RpYhw5Rhttps://ibb.co/09jp8qHhttps://ibb.co/LS8rmfmhttps://ibb.co/jTw42z4https://ibb.co/v4hJTbH Note the numbering next to riders with polish commitments donates what tier of polish racing they have a team spot in 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
