SCB STATEMENT: BENJAMIN BASSO

The Speedway Control Bureau (SCB ) were informed on Saturday 10th August 2024 that King’s Lynn rider Benjamin Basso had informed the club that despite representing his Polish League Club Lodz on the 11th August 2024 he would not be returning back to the UK for the King’s Lynn fixture at Belle Vue on the 12th August 2024 due to still suffering from a shoulder injury.

Although the SCB does not wish to force riders to compete when not fully fit there are regulations in place to protect clubs from having riders select which fixtures they choose to compete in or not.

Therefore, as Mr Basso has chosen not to return back to the UK to represent his British club although still competing in Europe this has breached SCB Regulation –

017.2 i) Failure to attend a meeting duly listed on the Official Fixture List.

Due to this breach Mr Basso SCB Registration will be suspended for a period of 28 days as of the 12th August 2024.

The King’s Lynn Club will receive a facility for the same period 28 days, which will end on the 9th September 2024.
