Something fishy. also they get a facility of 75% of his average. Why did Oxford not get this last week or did they not want to use that facility.

What was Jason supposed to do? His flight has been delayed by 5 hours. In normal circumstances he would have been out of Stansted airport by 1pm and then a 4 hour drive to Manchester getting him there in plenty of time. It was bound to happen at some point with a flight delayed . Jason is the most loyal rider to British Speedway and I would think you struggle to fine any other time that this has happened which is a miracle in itself considering the amount of flight delays that happen. It could have easily been any of the other riders who were flying in today if their flight had been delayed. it seems as if Tungate didn’t even get to the plane which is hardly the same as being at the airport and suddenly your flight is delayed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If was already in the country he would not have got to Manchester until about 5pm anyway and as he lives in Norwich he would still have had almost the same trip by car. Too many reading far more into this. Once at the airport if your flight then gets delayed then you are screwed. I’m sure if had been told the night before he would have managed to find another flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
