They seem to still be signing up some of the very best talent considering they are 'struggling', so I presume they feel all should be well again next season? Possibly was due to covid but if clubs av lost a fortune they may not be able to operate at the same level for the foreseeable future. Speedway Star painted a pretty grim picture of Swedish speedway. Elitserien winners Dackarna cud only attract 989 to the home leg of the Grand Final with a top 5 of Woffinden, Doyle, Janowski, Thorssell & Jensen. No wonder the money isn't there, is that partly why Doyle left? Dunno, I'm going by what was reported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason would be the first choice, He has already said he prefers to race than practice so more league racing would suit him. Or Nicki Pedersen who is in the twilight of his career would he go to race in Poland Sweden Denmark & UK as a final swansong, maybe Chris Holder who is not at his World Champion form but still a top star in league racing. I can't see the Polish nationals jumping ship as they have to much at stake with selection for SGP SoN & SEC events in the hands of their version of the BSPA. Don’t think Chris is even a top star in league racing anymore & maybe if he’s now allowed to ride in Britain it would really help his form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris is riding in Sweden and Poland next year, he's just tweeted his Polish team he signed for on twitter well I assume that's what it is, I haven't tried to translate it! Though not sure if it is top league Poland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some it's not always about how much money they ride for it's also about track time. And next season Sweden, as reported in the Star, won't be able to afford to av the line ups of star riders that they've previously had in teams. Hence some of them could seek to ride in the UK next season like Doyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already signed for a Swedish team so that's him out of UK then? I wonder if Poole moved back up, he would ride in UK instead of Sweden? He's kinda been burnt a bit by some UK clubs in the past (KL sacked him for refusing to ride) and Ippo wouldn't or couldn't wait for him to sort out his visa apparently..?
