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.

I'm hoping its the first option , Przedpelski could be a option ?

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.

What happened to the permanent terracing and facilities along the back straight that was talked of being completed this winter? Anybody ITK?

With things being as they are I suspect they don't want to invest any further money into the stadium at the minute.

If we lose Max  that would  be a body blow regarding team building , especially on a 7.39 average

3.25 or 3.36 if Bewley gets a reduction will not get you a reserve that is that much better than Smith.

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.
