I don't doubt that, just playing Devil's Advocate.

Interesting selection, hope Bewley is fully fit for the start of the season. You do realise Lidsey averaged less than Josef Franc in Polish Div 3 last year?

I was umming & arring between 7-11.

Predictions for 2019, which could be the toughest SGP series for several years. Podium: Woffinden, Doyle, Zmarzlik Qualify for 2020: Janowski, Lindgren, Madsen, Laguta, Hancock. Close but...: Sayfutdinov, Vaculik, Dudek. Spoilers: Iversen, Kolodziej, Lindback, Zagar.

Bizare signing. Never shown the reliability or form of a #1. Koryna, Klindt, Jacobsen & Grajczonek to follow I assume?

We'll see. Booked GP tickets, booked hotel for Friday & Saturday, book flights Chopin (in 17/05 out 27/05). Lublin & Czestochowa meetings on the agenda. Lodz meeting on the Sunday would be great, it is on the way to Katowice.

Will keep eye on https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/i-liga/kalendarz

So no Ekstraliga fixtures the weekend of the Warsaw GP, any other fixtures likely that weekend? Will hopefully fit in a visit to Lublin & Częstochowa the following weekend.

Round 1 is.... Friday 4 April Częstochowa v Gorzów Zielona Góra v Toruń Sunday 7 April Lublin v Grudziądz Leszno V Wrocław All fixtures are to be televised next year.

Is it not time to move on from Harris & Nicholls?

I actually think riding at 2 is more difficult than riding at 3. I would tell Howarth that #3 is his spot for thr year unless he gets relegated to reserve. Mix & match 2, 4 & 5 positions. Masters, Thorsell, Morris & Schlien depending on which one of them has to be at #1, who rides well with who and the track the meeeting is held at.

What about if one of them rides at 2, with Howarth at 3 or 4

As Mark Riss finished the season on 4.17 he'd obviously fit instead of the 4.00 rider.

The difference between signing Bjerre (7.02) and Cook (7.54) means the Worralls, Bewley, Etheridge & a 4.00 rider can complete the team with 0.19 spare.
