You should know about this eric because of some of our riders riding in the Premiership on Thursdays.

"enough"

Nicky No Mates!!!!!!

They are now as was pointed out to me last year.

Where is W9 Lion when you need a clarification?

He's trolling just as he said 7th rider rode at Redcar at the weekend.

It is all down to "Canal Tv" not wanting to televise meeting on Sat/Sun from Ekstraliga 2/1. Now, in 2025, moving Ekstraliga 2 to Thurs for tv only. If you are not sure of the Polish Speedway Law, "We will do what we want & you all will amend to suit". The ISPL have no say in the matter. This will affect all Premiership riders at H/L or 2nd string level that ride in the Ekstraliga 2 in 2025.

Only 6.32 CL rider, 4.20PL riders or a foreigner could fit. All taken up or too high.

Polish media & practice sessions already taking place hence a few riders dropping out of meetings.

Which is Rob's philosophy all along ....... take it or leave it which applies to any rider for the club, even guests.

Not being dictated to by the Poles would be top of my list. Just as we increase the points limit to get more foreign riders in our top league in '24, the Poles put a stop to it by wanting to race on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays due to their tv rights. Could going to one league & 6 rider teams be our next way forward.

Don't forget, team averages increase by 0.5 point per month from 1st May

edited for accuracy.

NOT for Scunthorpe.

Also could be said of some Workington riders having a practice at Redcar or Scunthorpe ready for BSN/League encounters.

If he reaches a 5, he then needs to score 7 at home & 3 away. BIG ask!

If saying that Leicester have a strong top 5, what are your expectations of what Drew should score? Barring injuries, he should ride at no6 all season & he will ride with his fellow reserve in heat 2 BUT with one of your top 5 in his other three!

Simon not as injury prone as Josh. Josh's hand injuries hampered him a lot & his last leg break was a severe one.

Riders averages will not go up until June 1st at the earliest as hardly any league meetings will have taken place in April.

I am sure new tyres are supplied "in house" & only the spare is the riders As regards the fuel, I think this is also supplied by the home track as to minimise "dodgy" additives used. In the past, additives(nitro) was fed through tubes in the frame & also additives could already be in the containers the riders use. A track examiner can not see every thing that goes on.

Crump was coming back on 8.4 in 2020 until he got a reduction for missing another year (Covid) of which everyone did but in 2021, Plymouth wanted him in the Championship so they then reduced it down to 8 to fit him in at Plymouth on a 12.

I am sure I read it in last years rules about riders having 2 bikes ready to race. This rule could have been in place over many years, though.

Well it seems so with the amount of extra pages of peoples frustrations.

They must have had a couple then as I remember Jan Graversen winning one.
