Col 849 Posted December 20, 2017 From my reading of this, Aces 2018 will be Cook 8.45 Tungate 6.18 S Worrall 6.77 Fricke 7.39 Bewley 4.71 Smith 2.00 35.5 Leaving 7.00. Do they splash the cash on a new 7.00 International rider, or with no TV deal find a cheaper option. Kennett, Lahti, Hougaard many options... as yet unsigned. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping its the first option , Przedpelski could be a option ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces High 70 Posted December 20, 2017 It would make sense to get a polish rider in to try and tempt a few more through the gate. There were a few polish fans who turned up to the SGB individual meeting so it is worth a try, plus the stadium is nice enough that they might want to come back. I can understand the desire of the management team to be cautious though and I'm not going to worry whilst 'our' riders aren't turning up in other clubs 1-7. Cook can't really go anywhere else (not that makes any kind of sense), the only one I think might not come back is Max. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we lose Max that would be a body blow regarding team building , especially on a 7.39 average Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hougaard(B V asset) or L Bjerre and Smith is the stronger choice I can't see Riss coming any cheaper than those two and Smith has a lot of potential to improve and has become a fans favourite leaving him out would leave a good few fan disappointed.

Agreed, Smith showed enough improvement towards the end of the season to suggest he would be better this year. Dan will take five rides so I don't see how this makes sense.
