PotteringAround 633 Posted December 9, 2022 3 minutes ago, wtf said: Brennan starting in the main body, he will have pressure to maintain his upward trajectory, hopefully he continues to progress, but it's never easy starting in the main body for the first time. it's lucky that Brennan starts at reserve then!

RideHard 40 Posted December 9, 2022 Good looking team good to see Bewley back in British speedway just wish Lambert could follow him too both were missed last year. Is it as strong as the team that won the play offs? I don’t think so. Brennan and Blodorn have to both improve on last season if they are to retain the title, and Zagar is a big loss, don’t think they’ll be good enough on away tracks to get the aggregate points. Two teams looking better on paper for me than BV but doesn’t mean anything until wheels start turning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely his 25% works the same as the Brit 2.5%, as in it's for team building purposes only.

Col 862 Posted December 9, 2022 Ekstraliga stats for Lidsey compare well with Premiership 2022 riders.... 26. Jaimon Lidsey 1,628 27. Frederik Jakobsen 1,616 28. Jack Holder 1,602 Elitserien less so... 28. Rohan Tungate 1,700 32. Luke Becker 1,667 41. Jaimon Lidsey 1,425 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From https://www.bellevue-speedway.com/news/belle-vue-aces-2023 Quote Aces CEO Mark Lemon then announced that Jake Mulford would graduate from the Belle Vue Colts to a Premiership Rising Star, with Tom Brennan returning amongst the teams top five riders. I have assumed Lidsey starts at reserve, as his average is the 6th highest ignoring Brennan's 25% RS reduction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy Sweetman 480 Posted December 9, 2022 May find it difficult gaining away wins in the first half of the season,but come play-off time fully expect Belle Vue and Sheffield to be fighting it out once again.Think my own team Wolves,it's top four at best.

Unless Zagar is signed by another team... not sure if he's contemplating retirement as not announced as riding in Poland or Sweden AFAIK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
