A good rider will ride any track .....

John Louis rated Tomasz Gollob as the most naturally talented speedway rider he had ever known, and Gollob didn't like Monmore at all.  I think he won one race there, in 1998, when the Wolves were one of the few teams to beat the rampant Witches, on 20 July (47-43).  It was a very rare occasion that I got quite drunk (a couple or three pints of Guinness), and managed to upset some people (a few more than usual!) - they all looked so miserable as they left the stadium, even after defeating the mighty Witches. I recall there was a BDL match between the junior Wolves and Buxton. I also was quite unwell by the time we got to Corley Services

The trouble is Flint cant ride MG...

But can get better. He is one of the best RS available.

On paper Wolves look good, 5 heat leaders & the strongest RS. Although you can't guarantee the top 5 will score well every week, which is what cost them in the play-offs.

6 teams I 2022 => 18 heatleaders

Wolves riders in top 18 of averages in 2022

That's what happens when you have 1 track ponies. None are genuine heatleader standard. They'd all be below a 7 at any other PL home track

A lot will depend on how Zach Cook adapts, performing well at No 6 would be a real bonus. We’ve not had a decent No 6 for what seems like an eternity

I think Douglas would average well over 7 at Peterborough.

A good  number  6 is the key....He can have 7 rides if the others are having a off night...He's  not the best number  6 but u have to give him a chance...J knudsen would  have been a better bet .......
