Where is Mr Morris when all these decisions are being made? Thought he was "in charge"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil is the right person for the job, given the tools and power to change things but it won't be overnight. A good appointment that will need some time and slack to change things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 What's the rules and regs for a rider racing abroad the next afternoon? One assumes our governing body have given Worrall permission to be absent tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Why would Worrall ride in a meeting overseas that hes most likely got no chance of progressing from and miss two paydays from his Uk meetings for Peterborough and Plymouth , is he compensated for missing the two meetings, was this a last minute thing it seems a strange decision from him unless hes being compensated .

Ambition and the desire to widen his horizons and ride abroad more often I'd guess, having ridden for GB in both the European Team meetings too. One could argue that he won't improve at his age and should have been doing this years ago but at the same time we shouldn't really knock any Brits who are taking opportunities to ride on the continent and out of their comfort zone when possible. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloom89 Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 International superstar Richie Worrall being unprofessional and letting his uk club down something he was very vocal about his ex team mate doing... the only way to justify him missing tonight's meeting is if he does a np and bangs in a 15 point max and wins this european meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Brennan is riding in the same meeting and he seems to think he can obviously make it there in time. I actually quite like Worrall, even more so after his Nicki Pedersen interview the other day - but the facility for Worrall tonight is because he hasn’t got bikes here, not because he can’t get to Italy in time. That’s a joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's representing GB having been asked then it's not really letting his club down whereas Pedersen did a deal then cleared off after half a lap. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJC Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Flight from Manchester to Venice at 6.40 tomorrow, 2.30hour flight and hour and a half from Terranzano. Surely Worrall could have brought an engine back to the uk and back out again, Doyle seems to do it every week and you can’t tell me riding for 2 UK clubs he only has 2 bikes over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted April 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 So we would've had a 5 man team tonight if Wolves vs. Leicester didn't get postponed due to the Richie Worrall situation. At least we've got a rider who can win races at No.1 tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that his brother, between the pair of them they must have some bikes in Europe ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Worrall rides for Lokomotīve Daugavpils - so if he does have bikes in Europe they are probably in Latvia (home meeting v Gniezno this week). Haven't seen Richie on any Polish scorecard.

That’s a joke. It just shows that even the riders dont take the team aspect in the UK too seriously doesnt it? Especially with zero sanction, which suggest that this kind of thing is condoned... It is a joke, I agree, but then again, it's very much in keeping with the usual operating model policy of "make it up as you go along lads"... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
