Suspect few will regard it as a flagship event. Rather another example of failing to provide value for money re season tickets. Even trying to stress their benign benevolence in that they have bot increased prices despite more races than normal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal Premiership admission prices apply, with season tickets not valid for this event ..." They've tried to make it trendy with the use of the Rising Star or #8 - a token gesture - and the semi-final and Final, and of course the GP-style points scoring for the aggregate totals over the six legs. Any sponsorship, any prize money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any sponsorship, any prize money? If they were really serious about making this competition something you "must attend" then the third rider (injury cover), would be another one of the top five in the team... Instead we have the RIsing Stars doing the third rider role... And one is a guest just to take away any credibility the new competition may have had.... They just can't help themselves can they? 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the the sensible solution would be the teams no 6 or either of the rising stars (7 or 8) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Updates has a line-up, I'm far from convinced it is correct - the clubs are listed as riding in alphabetical order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That IS the correct line up for Peterborough. Whether that is by design, or fate, is not known. Edited May 23, 2022 by Gambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Lion Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Surely Jordan Palin is withholding his services ? He is not injured , ill or riding in a FIM meeting it is clearly stated as just unavailable. This is a scheduled fixture that has been on the calendar since the start of the season & all all along rising stars would be involved so following the SCB rules Palin should be facing a ban ?
