Tom Bacon is a very interesting suggestion. (Local lad, previous fans favourite....may be slightly ahead of Shanes/Morris on his day...but probably a bit rusty .) I'd certainly give Jack Smith another go and Covatti would be a dream signing. Tom bacon as retired 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure, it probably hasnt. Its just speculation seeing as he isnt signed up anywhere and Birmingham are his parent club Is there a list of riders who have stated they intend to seek out a uk club. Doubt there is so just trying to fill in a few blanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit reckless to me Just looks like he could be a strong possibility given thats hes british and has the average to be classed as a 2nd string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathen52 Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Are The Brummies a new company If so can they get a sponsors licence for overseas riders ?, If not then there options may be even more limited.

The Dog Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 I'd be happy to give Roynon a chance on a 5ish average. A good gater which is a bonus for a second string or reserve because they get the inside gates and once ahead has speed and good track craft. I know he's had injuries but a lot of them haven't been his fault, he's just been in the wrong place at the wrong time, whereas Bates seems to create his own issues.

Jimsboy Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 4 riders left. I'm really struggling to think of 4. 2 maybe and they would only be 2nd strings at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
