spin king junior Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 I mentioned In the sheffield thread as I believed the criteria is- 1. Be under 25 or have less than 3 years experience in the top league And 2. Have a Premiership average under 5.5 or championship average under 6.5 So rightfully Flint is in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Quote “We had to wait for the AGM to clarify the criteria for next season’s Rising Star programme, but when we knew Leon was available to us, it didn’t take us very long at all to decide that we should persevere with him because he’s a good, young talent and we know there’s an even better rider in there than we have already seen in some performances at Wolverhampton.” Expand Where does that state that Flint is on the RS list? It just says Flint is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
