I'm quite pleased for Jenny, she has a tough 2014 as previously mentioned and she had to cut her season short because of a lack of funding.
Most BSB riders quite often have to rally round money from personal sponsorship to pay a team for a place. Peter Hickman didn't get a ride at the start of 2014 due to lack of money. He did have a brilliant season though switching to the road racing scene with Ice Valley, and only took the place of poor Simon Andrews (RIP) in BSB with RAF Honda .....and still hasn't secured a BSB place this year despite his debut road racing successes and a first place in BSB last year.
This is must be one of the most unfair competitions in sport considering the dangers etc.....as I'm sure there is no foccer out there that would pay their employer for a job.
