"If nothing changes in the Championship, you are not going to have enough meetings to make it work full-time. My big worry isn't for this year or next year. The issue is that all of those who are 19 will be out of the system in two years. They will be in the same position, wondering, 'where do I ride?'" Britain's Jason Edwards expresses his fears about the impact of forthcoming rule changes.
DEFINITE MAY-BE?
"I have to go on the basis we are running to get a team together. Otherwise there will be no riders at the end and we will be left with those no-one else wants. It's getting harder now because of where Plymouth is situated and the Saturday night. A lot of riders live miles away or up north. When I was at Somerset my riders there just wanted to ride for Somerset and I'm getting riders like that with Plymouth now." Gladiators manager Garry May is pressing on with team building despite question marks against the club's future.
KENNEDYS COMEBACK?
"I think if I got the offer and the money and the timing was right, I'd probably consider making it happen, but it's tough for me. We did it last year and it was hard work, but we made it work and I felt that this year after doing that it would have been a lot easier. Having stayed home in 2026, it would probably make it a bit harder again next year, but we'll just see if we get some offers and where we end up." Australian Zaine Kennedy says he and brother Declan are open to offers about returning to British racing.
