high edge Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Speedway is the only sport that penalise anyone who shows improvement, look what happened to Jack SMITH and Nathan Ablitt, both riders came up from N D L to reserves in the championship and both improved their averages ,and claimed places in the top five of their teams. Then after all the time and effort they put in sees them both frozen out of team places i would not be surprised if one or both decide its not worth putting all the time and money into speedway. I dont know of any other sport were improving goes against you surly something must be done to stop such ridiculous things happening to riders. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the bit that I don't understand, visas should only be issued when their are no British riders are available, so long as there are British riders out of work then no visas should be issued. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRITISHSPEEDPOWER Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Jack Smith certainly puts the effort in. 100%. Gives it a good shot every time I've seen him in the last couple of years. To me he's improving steadily and seems to have way more aggression. Would of been happy to of had him at Berwick. Real shame these boys ain't got a team place👎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaddlebowRoad Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago british speedway has long been a numbers game and unfortunately there will always be those who miss out i do agree that foreign riders on similar averages should be refused a wp if brits arent fixed up and havent turned anything down but the liklihood is they will get a gig once the season gets going and injuries bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
