IronScorpion 1,405 Posted March 14, 2022 I have just seen that Vissing is classed as a newcomer for Holsted in 2022 so must have back tracked on that decision to sign for Birmingham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regulation 010.2.2 Assessed MAs Riders new to Championship League racing are categorised as follows: - a) a rider riding in Danish, Swedish or Polish Leagues in a previous or current season will enter on a 5.00 MA b) a rider who has never ridden in a Danish, Swedish or Polish league will enter on a 4.00 MA So it looks like he will indeed be on 4.00 ... unless he rides in Poland before his debut for Brum?!

I expect his Danish league appearances from last season (for Fjelsted) will be ignored as they were Div 2 (similar level to NDL), so 4.00 would be my expectation.

It took the 2022 Championship Predictions thread 11 pages to conclude that the race to win the Wooden Spoon would be a close-run thing between Birmingham and Newcastle. How many more pages will it take for everyone on there to change their minds and have the Brummies in the top 4? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even with Ellis, unless Pearson is a revelation I can't see Brummies troubling the Pugwashers or Scottish City Slickers, title wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In Poland, according to this https://speedwayteams2022.blogspot.com/p/pge-ekstraliga-2022.html , he is riding in the Leszno squad as an U24 rider. I am not sure if this is just the U24 League or can move up to the main squad as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whilst the Brummies only had 4 riders, some were still placing them above a 7-man Newcastle team. It fair boggles the mind sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
