Biffa Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 So it will be Scunthorpe or Workington then. Which begs the question why pay anyone when you have your own track to practice on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your childish comment , no rider likes anyone getting in their way, team mate or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many teams hire other tracks to have a day out on, for all sorts of reasons . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is why hire a track when you have your own to practice on? Surely time would be better spent learning your home track than a different one. Begs the question of whether we a track curator yet ? Anyone know anything ? It is a very practical solution. Presuming Redcar hasn't started to get their track unto speed, it is sensible and more practical to get track time at somewhere near them who will have their track prepped for their amateur meetings. I wouldn't think the racing will amount to much but getting on the track, testing and setting up their bikes and having a bit of opposition as well as a bit of chin wag with their new team mates and management will help them set up their season perfectly. They will certainly be fit physically and mentally with Gavin in charge. Edited January 24 by 1Tsunami 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janice Jackson Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Bears Dealt Huge Blow On The Eve Of The Season As Jorgenson Is Ruled Out! It feels like DeJa’Vu for the Agilia Bears after losing James Shanes just weeks before the start of the 2023 season, now unfortunately Thomas Jorgensen has had a huge setback in his recovery and will require surgery on his back injury which will rule him out of the start of the season. Co-promoter Jamie Swales said ‘We never felt it was a gamble when we signed Thomas despite his injuries, Thomas’s rehabilitation was well ahead of schedule, and he reassured us everything was going well. Unfortunately, last week that all changed when he started getting pain in his back, after a visit to the specialists he was told an operation would now be needed. We all wish Thomas well in his recovery and hopefully we see him back on track at some point in 2024, but we now find ourselves once again looking for a replacement with only weeks until the season starts. Talks are already underway with several riders, and we hope to be able to announce a signing very soon’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ was 6.39 and we were 0.50 under the limit. Not sure who is available at this late stage, tough blow for the team and TJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
