I believe Anders will be ready within the next two season's, he has made huge strides and technically is a very good rider.I have only seen him ride a few times but people who have seen him ride regularly say he is an excellent white line rider but his showing's at Scunny and the brilliant NSS show he is improving at the bigger and faster tracks.I would love to see us have a really strong reserve all year and with Anders at no 8 ready to come in at any opportunity.Leicester have shown with the Thompson twins that British youngsters have to be given opportunities but at the right time.

Steve0 5,517 Posted November 21, 2019 No surprise that Doyle returns but would have also expected them to announce that Batch not returning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyabb17 1,077 Posted November 21, 2019 The story in “today’s” adver only mentions JD has signed...I thought we were announcing 3 other riders as per the article in the adver at Asda orbital....strange!!! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thecoombdog 2,367 Posted November 21, 2019 Always thought Doyley would be back but after the cock up in 2018 I didn't want to be too confident!! The perfect start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted November 21, 2019 Is having a top heavy side the way the fans want to go again next year or should we go in a different direction.? Great news about Doyley for me he stays riding for us as long as he rides in British speedway a real legend.He is in our top 6 riders ever alongside Briggs, Crump, Ashby, Adams, Kilby.

I'm assuming as mentioned previously that Musielak is sitting out UK in 2020. May well leave a long tail but it would be a shame to see Batchelor sacrificed as he was great this season. Let's see what Rosco can come up with Edited November 21, 2019 by Reliant Robin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's see what Rosco can come up with I can't see Batch being retained unfortunately due to his average being almost similar to Doyle's. I can see us with the following 4: - Doyle - 8.96 Jensen - 7.86 Ellis - 6.49 Perks - 3.57 This would leave 15.62 for 3 spots. Rosco has previosuly said that riders who haven't been in the Uk for a while have been in contact - Could this be Kildemand - his average would be 7.10 which would then leave 8.52 for two spots. Perhaps a young Swede or Dane on a 4 at reserve with Perks??? Jeppesen or Mads Hansen would fit the bill for me. Saying all of that, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Brady Kurtz signed to ride at 5....He's proven how good he is on our new track & with Doyle at 1 will have no pressure like he did when at Poole.....7.54 average isn't too bad. That would then leave 8.08 for two spots. Edited November 21, 2019 by hyabb17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted November 21, 2019 Did top heavy really work? It came down to getting successful replacements ie Jensen replaced a rider that may well have dropped to reserve in most teams whilst Rasser become one of the top averaged riders in the league Had that turned out like for like then Swindon may not even have secured a top 4 place. That type of change wont happen every year.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
