As I said on 7th January, he finished 4th in the Polish averages in 2023. But then as LagutaFan said in reply, he hasn't shown any interest in riding in the UK for the last 15 years. So who knows? I love his never-say-die racing style, and would love him to come and ride for the Brummies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that you no longer think of Janusz Kołodziej as a "has been" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Eck Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 The longer it goes on, the less likely it is to be a signing that will propel Birmingham off the bottom. The team owes it to its loyal supporters to make an announcement. Their behaviour is just like 2022 when they signed Adam Ellis on a short term contract - about 8 weeks or so - just before press and practice day but told him not to tell anyone how short the contract was. When he stuck to the contract and left in mid-May, Adam was accused of walking out. A bit of honesty rather than a load of BS is what’s needed now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither Pawlicki has reached “star” status since they stopped riding in UK and Milik has really gone nowhere since his stint at Poole.

But as of today. Nothing as been signed. Which is a massive worry really as a rider will need to sign soon to organise things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 So have Brum actually signed the final two or not now? If they haven't then the alarm bells are about to ring, No top rider will make a last minute decision to take on another work load, They're top professionals who'll want everything in place ASAP.

LagutaRacingFan Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 (edited) What on earth are Birmingham doing? Artem Lagtua is only riding in 1 league next year. He cannot ride in Sweden and the GPs. No rider can go through an entire season by riding once a week on a Sunday. Laguta is desperate for a UK contract and Birmingham need a big number 1. What am I missing? This is a match made in heaven. Edited January 16 by LagutaRacingFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bringbackHalifax Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Think Brum are goosed now tbh. It’s obvious that they are having to work very hard to persuade someone to come over. None of the riders mentioned actually want to race in the UK so I would question how much effort they would put in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be prepared to join Birmingham for 30% of that. How much lower can he go? Edited January 17 by LagutaRacingFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would turn Birmingham into title contenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much lower can he go? 30% plus a van mechanic, flights etc etc. The list will go on. I'm not saying your wrong but there are other things to consider.

GiveusaB Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 One can only think that N.T is trying to source 'Sponsorship', in order to get the last 2 deals done? There's supposed to be some news in the SS today? If anybody out there can 'update' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Two guests to start the season then. Maybe we should start guessing who they will be. I'll go for Bomber to guest as one and bomber for the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
